Fissures across a railway and someone’s orchard just north of İslâhiye.
Türkiye is standard gauge, so that’s basically two offsets of ~70 cm just in this little area. (Pan pixels from Maxar 1040010082698700 at 31 cm resolution; the image is about 320 m or 1000 ft across.)
This is not the part of the image with the rawest human interest, but I think it shows some of the scale of what happened without feeding into voyeurism.
[nodding thoughtfully:] As true of me today as it was of hadrosaurs 75 million years ago.
In conclusion, all the science happening in the heat index field is extremely normal and definitely absolutely nothing to be worried about.
Stipple of a hillshade of Tahoma.
The point placing algorithm is freely adapted from @BartWronski’s version of Ahmed, Ren, and Wonka’s stippling: https://bartwronski.com/2022/08/31/progressive-image-stippling-and-greedy-blue-noise-importance-sampling/
The data is from the WA lidar portal: https://lidarportal.dnr.wa.gov/
The hillshade is a mean of 1,000 angles from which the sun actually illuminates Tahoma over the year. (None of that top-left stuff for me, thanks.)
Buoy 46059 is having a real time, and this isn’t even that close to the middle of the storm. https://www.ndbc.noaa.gov/station_page.php?station=46059
