Surrounding the building in Demirkopru village, home to 1,000 people, are bits of debris floating in murky water, broken pavements, and lopsided houses.
"The houses sank four meters ," said Mahir Karatas, a 42-year-old farmer and owner of the grey house."The ground went up and down." When the quake hit, the villagers scrambled to safety in an area designated by authorities in case of any tremors. But such was its force, even that cracked.
