Excerpts from some historical data...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_ea..._in_Turkey
Yesterday's quake entry has already been added to the Wiki page, but it lists 7.8, 7.7 and 7.5. According to USGS, these quakes were 7.8 and 7.5. I don't know where they're getting the 7.7 from.
The entry will eventually look something like this:
It's historically significant (no duh) because it's a double entry of very high magnitude quakes.
There are no other double entries like this in Turkey's recorded history. Some entries are days/weeks apart with magnitudes around M6, but none of significant magnitude on the same day.
It's a disaster of biblical proportions.
