I lied, I'm posting...from Istanbul. The larger quake was 34 mins after the smaller one,,,and a couple thousand km away. I don't think that is a coincidence, but I don't think from static stress a 6.2 should trigger quakes that far away. If delayed from earthquake waves, then it must have been really ready to go.....so how do you look at these sorts of relations to know whether I am self-deluded....

Pretty cool that I can just walk into a room at the univesity in Istanbul, plop the external card into my ancient laptop, and voila, on line. There was a lot of airline traffic so we flew across Istanbul, the Bosphorus, out over Black Sea, and then turned around and did it in reverse. Could see some of the mountains around Marmara Sea off in the distance that are there because of the North Anatolian fault, one way or another. Unfortunately for earthquake risk, the heavy development seems focused in the south, towards the northern shore of Marmara Sea and closer to the main fault....they should have gone north instead...the coast of Black Sea looks nice...is unpopulated, and the earthquake hazard (the expected ground motion) would almost certainly be far less...
