No. We were getting messages in the afternoon about delays so I kept checking the phone on the way to the airport. Half way there, up it popped; flight cancelled.
Joined the back of a long queue in the check in area, to find out what our options were. But they ran out before we got to the front.
Ah well. Two weeks time we are walking in Snowdonia. It will probably pour down.

I have wondered if there were big delays at Manchester - we've had those - what happens. Some delays like the volcanic ash meant people shipped to hotels and brought back at short notice. I'd rather go home and back!
And if passed security what do they do? How do you get luggage back? Must be a procedure.
Shame you missed the trip. Sh*t happens I guess.

A 6.5 wasn't it? Big enough to be frightening - I hate the bloody things. Its quite trendy here to be cool about them. I think its all pretense, they scare the crap out of me.
Though we have the advantage in Chile that we have so many , so often and so big, that anything likely to fall down already has. So unless the big one hits (9+) it is scary more than dangerous.
Reading the news reports I guess Turkey's problem is that they don;t get them very often.

It did cause quite a lot of panic particularly among some of the people here on holiday from Istanbul. Some of whom remember, or indeed were directly affected by the big one there about 20 years ago. There was a bit of damage to our hotel complex but thankfully no injuries. The sea level came up very high for a while and caused some flooding but soon receded. There have been several aftershocks, the most recent last night. Quite a few people have gone home early. Still, at least it's easy to find a sunbed now !
