A shocked woman woke up to 'the whole room shaking' in one of the world's deadliest earthquakes. Catriona Macdonald, a carer who lives in Radford, has opened up after witnessing the powerful quake which shook Turkey and Syria.
The 44-year-old flew from England to visit her boyfriend in Diyarbakır, situated in south-eastern Turkey, on February 2. Little did she know that a few days later she would wake up to a natural disaster that made families homeless and killed more than 40,000 people to date.
Ms Macdonald said she and her boyfriend were staying in a hotel and got woken up by the shaking at around 4am on Monday, February 6. The initial noise was followed by a gunshot to alert people to come out of their homes.
