1.       Earthquakes felt around the world

Just over 2,000 homes were rendered uninhabitable in parts of western Turkey by a 5.9 magnitude temblor that killed three people late on May 19^th. Two of the fatalities and many of the nearly 200 injuries around Kutahya province were blamed on shoddy construction. It would be frustrating and very nerve racking to realize that the area where you live is overall not safe due to the construction of the town which is out of your hands. Hopefully, with the new technology in architecture throughout the world, the reconstruction in Turkey will be more positive for the safety of the people. Elsewhere: Earth movements were also felt in New Zealand’s Christchurch aftershock zone, southern Sumatra, the northern Philippines, northeastern Japan, Rwanda and the San Francisco Area. Hopefully, people are aware of the natural disasters throughout the world and thus come together to help people in need. Be aware of the amount of earthquakes and also from this information be prepared for anything.
