The earthquake struck at 03:30 a.m. local
time and affected an area containing
565,8000 people living in 122,400 houses
(excluding Istanbul, Ambraseys & Finkel,
1987). The devastation of the shake killed
2800 and injured 7000 people. It totally
destroyed 12600 houses, damaged 12100
beyond repair and caused serious damage
to another 15,400 (Ambraseys & Finkel,
1987). The damage distribution is given in
MSK scale in figure 1 and corresponds
almost entirely to the 9 Aug. shock
associated to a lesser degree to several
fires which broke in the town and villages in
the epicentral area. Reference:
