Shallow earthquakes tend to cause more harm than deeper ones, but local authorities said there were no reports of major damage.

The last major quake was in October in the northern Philippines. The quake was felt on the other side of the mountains in the coastal municipality of Caraga and sent people running outdoors, said civil defence officer Jessielyn Capina. The quake lasted about 30 seconds and was followed by aftershocks, said Corporal Stephanie Clemen, with police in the city of Tagum, about 40km from Maragusan.

Geologists knew decades ago that a quake would strike southeastern Turkey, but precise prediction is still the stuff of science fiction.

“The Turkey earthquake to me is, of course, a complete tragedy,” he says. Mustafa Erdik, a retired civil engineer at Boğaziçi University in Istanbul and president of the Turkish Earthquake Foundation, agrees that this was the case — arguing that ignorance, incompetence and implicit collusion between architects, inspectors and builders were at fault. McCloskey’s model, for example, anticipated the location of the recent Turkey earthquake, but the shaking started on a much smaller branch of the fault and then spilt over to the main part, a pattern that Stein finds baffling. California, for example, which is home to the massive San Andreas fault, has implemented the beginnings of an early-warning system that relies on networks of seismometers to detect the very start of a quake. The modelling suggested that a region of the fault line south of Kahramanmaraş — the precise location and length of the fault that ruptured on 6 February — was at a heightened risk of giving way at some point in the future Then, in 2008, Parsons and his colleagues published a forecast following the Wenchuan earthquake with the intention of later evaluating the model’s performance [6](#ref-CR6). And in 2008, Shinji Toda from the Geological Survey of Japan in Tsukuba and his colleagues projected that the [Wenchuan earthquake earlier that year in China](https://www.nature.com/articles/459153a) would increase the stress of three adjacent faults [4](#ref-CR4). [7](#ref-CR7), estimates that the method has been used in 30,000 papers to explain two-thirds of our planet’s recent aftershocks and progressive main shocks. This has happened time and time again in Turkey — a history that allowed McCloskey and his colleagues to map the stresses along one of its major quake sources, the East Anatolian fault. He found that 61% of the later quakes were associated with an increase in stress caused by the earlier ones In 2002, McCloskey (now a geophysicist at the University of Edinburgh, UK) and his colleagues used this technique to diagnose regions on the East Anatolian fault that were highly stressed. McCloskey’s work shows both the promise — and limitations — of the science of earthquake forecasting.

Kilincdaroglu and the other opposition parties are well aware that without the Kurdish and the votes of the liberals, they will not have a chance to withstand Erdogan in the presidential elections. Though some would argue that the HDP will cast its votes for the CHP leader over Erdogan, Kilicdarogu must engage in a balancing act so as not to marginalize the Kemalists and nationalists in his alliance. Their swing votes may not only have an impact on the outcome of the elections, but may also shape the future government’s foreign policy orientation toward the West, Russia, South Caucasus and the Middle East. If AKP approaches the HDP, it will be risky as it will alienate the votes of the nationalists. The party also [calls](https://english.aawsat.com/home/article/3040956/turkey%E2%80%99s-chp-leader-calls-restoring-ties-damascus-sending-refugees-home) for the restoration of diplomatic relations with the government of Bashar al-Assad.

"The government of the past 20 years is not working for the people," said 70-year-old farmer Mehmet. Many residents told Reuters that opposition parties were late to name a candidate and that they would only support one with nationalist roots, such as Ankara mayor Mansur Yavas - who is slated to be one of Kilicdaroglu's vice presidents should he win. "It is not wise to hold elections in May. Pollsters have mostly avoided surveying those in the disaster zone, while national surveys found the AKP has maintained its support. In addition, the opposition has dithered before finally agreeing on a candidate to challenge Erdogan, unsettling voters, while experts say those affected by the quake could swiftly change their minds.
