Ercis, Turkey
A two week old baby and her mother was pulled from the rubble 47 hours after the quake. See my blog posted October 24, 11 p.m. with raw video footage.(http://revmaddog1948.blogspot.com/2011/10/baby-girl-resued-video.html)
3,000 rescue workers and 12 specially trained dogs had been called out, says deputy prime minister. Death toll count has been raised to 366 and 1300 hurt, but I'm sure will go higher, much higher.
An after shock of 4.4 magnitude was felt today, sending fear in earthquake survivors. Thousands are spending their second night outdoors despite near freezing temperatures.
Foreign aid will be accepted, including from Israel, Turkish official says.

Please pray for Turkey. A 7.2 magnitude quake struck Eastern Turkey. Early count of the dead is over 100, but expected to rise rapidly. I have observed early counts rise by 10 fold or more as communications are restored.
Like Adam and Eve, our society has put knowledge of creation & destruction at a higher value than knowledge of our Creator! In order to bring His children back to Him, God allows the shaking of what we thought was unshakable, so that we will turn to our unshakable God.
We have ignored God in pursuit of our goals, and cut off the guidance of the One we need the most in dangerous times. We have built our buildings in pursuit of profits, rather than out of reverence for life.Forgive us, God.
Heavenly Father, forgive our society for turning our backs on you, and help us by your grace to not turn our backs on our dear friends in Turkey. Supernaturally endow the searchers to find the lost like shepherds find the lost lambs, strengthen those who need to be found, comfort those who are grieving, clear the minds of those who have to make decisions. Speed the help to those who need it, smother the pride of those who might hinder with your humbling Grace.
To my friends in Turkey: (I have a large audience of this blog in Turkey.) May God be with you now. We love you. We will do what we can. - Mike
