Hi John. Speaking of earthquake magnitudes (magnitude 10 on the Richter scale) maybe you can clear this one up. In the meantime I’ll see what I can do. Take Care…Don in creepy town

“According to the federal Emergencies Ministry, the highland Kosh-Agach area, in the republic's east, is among the worst affected, with about 2,000 local inhabitants left roofless. This area was the epicenter of last Saturday's earthquake, measuring 10 on the Richter scale. An 8.5 aftershock rumbled through the area this morning.”
