Is this a separate event?

This would be disastrous.

Yes, a separate quake, occured about 15 mins ago...obviously connected to others. About 100km from epicenter of earlier 7.8.

These quakes will likely load up the subduction fault that runs along the southern coast of Turkey north of Cyprus. That fault hasn’t slipped in a long time for hundreds of miles until you get to part that generated the Izmir quake in 1999.

Never known there to be two such huge quakes so close together in time and geography. That is shocking!

It’s rare but it does happen, unfortunately it’s likely we’ll now see another mag 6.5-7.0 aftershock again.

Those aftershocks you are suggesting are earthquakes in their own right. The odd 3-4 in the UK makes the news. Heart goes out to these poor people suffering this. Sometimes our boring plot of land in the Atlantic with few extremes of any kind, is something to be grateful for!

These additional quakes/aftershocks are causing havoc for rescue efforts.

It is being classed as a separate earthquake and not an aftershock

They just can't catch a break can they 😞 over 40 aftershocks since the first 7.8 hit, now a 7.5 (which in itself would have been disastrous nevermind following on from a 7.8). I'm not too familiar with this faultline but i've read that it's not been active for 100 years.

Would it be considered unusual to have two large earthquakes within such a small period of time? Also, would it make further large earthquakes along the fault more likely?

Looks very bad.

Poor  old Turkey and the surrounding area hit by two quakes above 7. The second one probably triggered by the first. The after shocks are big enough to be classed as major quakes themselves.

It must be horrendously difficult for rescuers and those attempting to survived, the weather conditions are dreadful there now. Fatality count is going to be horrific, can see 20-50k being likely 😔

Today's 2x Earthquakes in Turkey were picked up by BGS Seismometers that are located all across the UK, including the station at Ladybower which shows substantial P-Wave Amplification of both M7.8 & M7.5 quakes as the S-Wave passed.

Syria will have added issues with the war and buildings weakened by war.

Absolutely, having seen the huge number of pancaked buildings I’m horrified. It’s possibly the worst damage I’ve ever seen seen from a quake that wasn’t tsunami related.
