Hi all. Been following with this since I heard about it a few hours after it happened. Nobody I personally know is missing or injured, but I've been preoccupied with this and not in the mood for the usual forum hijinks. It struck a particularly poor part of the country and also one with a large Kurdish population, so responses are mixed from Turkish and Iranian authorities. Some of my extended family was involved with a charitable organization that did work in the area, they're more involved with the disaster and response. I can't claim to be directly effected except that its a bummer.
