The heavy downvotes on this are hella gross. I can't imagine thinking well of a guy that doesn't give warning and can't really imagine the downvoter's perspective. If I'm happily making out with someone that doesn't mean I want them to hock a gob of spit in my mouth, even though spit is a normal byproduct of making out.

The latter. This one really isn't that big of a deal, it's in a super remote area and quite small. I'm not trying to handwave any loss of life that does happen, but no casualties yet and it seems unlikely - in 2015 a similar earthquake struck around the same spot and final casualties were 2 people (and many homes were destroyed). Still tragic for those affected, of course.

I realize that might sound callous, but it probably wouldn't have received coverage or interest if the ones in Turkey and Syria hadn't just happened.
