.You can still find a cool destructive Earthquake in the past year come check out my Current Event: Advik, 2-13-12, 5B1 Title of Article: Many Die as Eastern Turkey Is Jolted by Quake Published: October 23, 2011 New York Times website(nytimes.com) By SEBNEM ARSU Link:[]

Current Earthquake Event: Van, Turkey being shaked by a big quake In a city of Turkey called Van, disaster struck. A 7.2 earthquake hit and killed at least 138 people and injured about 350 people. Ercis, a small town in the same providence as Van, had 55 buildings collapse on it’s Main St., many residential buildings which increases the death toll. Officials say 950 buildings collapsed in and around the city of Van. There were hundreds of aftershocks, the highest being a 5.7. People would look for survivors trapped under rubble using flashlights. Prison walls collapsed and 200 prisoners but 50 got recaptured in the end. Supplies were sent by the Turkish Red Crescent such as tents and blankets. I have learned that earthquakes can happen in random places, sometimes not even places on fault lines. Places which are not close to the epicenter could still be damaged if no good protection was put on buildings. This is related to Science as an earthquake is a geological event and geology is a field of science.

The UN gave the earthquake/ tsunami warning to late. Many local houses in the area were not well protected against tsunamis. The UN linked Southeast Asia in their tsunami alert system after the full disaster. For the earthquake people should keep fragile stuff in the closets, heavy stuff on the lowest part of the house and secured on a wall if they were paintings. During the tsunami wave they should go to higher ground, do not stare at the tsunami, help your friends, family, and neighbors. = =
 * __Historical Event__**: A huge earthquake and tsunami struck all of Southeast Asia, such as Sri Lanka, Indonesia, India and Thailand and East Africa and of killed tens of thousands of people. The economies of all the countries affected were devastated. The people who where still alive and had a mobile phone contacted their families because the service providers and wifi was still running.
