Guest guest Posted February 4, 2002 Report Share Posted February 4, 2002 Hi Michelle, > Butch > you okay over there? > Michelle I'm fine .. thanks. This was a fairly small one compared to some we've had .. around 40 confirmed dead now and authorities say the death toll is not expected to be a lot higher. However, they always lie .. there are multistory buildings down to a one story level in Afyon and Sultandag and there's no way they'll know the real count for another 48 hours or more. The August 1999 quake killed over 20,000 people. I spent a week working search and rescue then and we didn't find near that many people .. they are just missing and will never return. The weather was too hot so after 6 days or so, only unidentifiable remains were left. This latest one is in the area of the Poppy Fields .. where Chris showed y'all the photo of her sitting amidst the Opium Poppys .. and around half way between me and the Rose Fields of Isparta. Thanks for the inquiry ... y'all keep smiling, Butch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
