This is how much the tectonic plates shifted during the Turkey earthquake, the entire road moved. This photo was taken by Prof. Hasan Sozbilir leader of the ATAG research group currently mapping the surface ruptures. #TurkeySyriaEarthquake #TectonicPlates

@AriaaJaeger this is the best illustration. When the much smaller quake reached the DC metro in 2011, the only way I could describe it was as being like the world dropped by around eight inches (~20cm) all at once. This is a lot more.
