Earthquake maps

About 12 hours ago, Turkey had a 7.5 (or 7.8?) magnitude eatherquake. The USGS already has some interactive maps of the earthquake in Turkey. This contour map of impact shows how much it shook distant areas. Zoom out to see that there are areas of Georgia and Iraq, hundreds of miles away, that felt it as a 3.5.

The USGS also has a page called, "Did You Feel It?" where people can share "Felt Reports." A little bit of citizen science.
