The strong earthquake this morning left severe consequences in many parts of Turkey and Syria. The number of dead is constantly growing, and the damage is enormous.

The seismologist Stephen Hicks believes that the earthquake that hit Turkey this morning could be the strongest instrumentally recorded earthquake in this country.

The video he posted on his Twitter account shows the spread of seismic waves after the catastrophic earthquake. It was registered by seismographs all over Europe.
