"Satellite measurements have revealed the extent of ground
movement caused by the 6.8-magnitude earthquake that struck
Morocco, killing nearly 3,000 people.
The earthquake hit a rural region in the Atlas Mountains about 47 miles from the city of Marrakech.......Radar measurements made by Europe's two Sentinel-1 satellites before and after the disaster reveal how much the two plates shifted during the quake. According to the BBC, the upward movement of the surface amounted to a maximum of 6 inches, while in other areas the ground sank by up to 4 inches."

"As the storm grew more fierce, the two dams, which had protected the city since the 1970s, began to groan. Then they burst with a
furious roar, and Derna was lost.
"Bodies are lying everywhere—in the sea, in the valleys, under the buildings," Hichem Abu Chkiouat, minister of civil aviation in the regional administration that controls eastern
Libya, told Reuters."The number of bodies recovered in Derna is more 1,000," he said.
The toll in Derna alone had crossed 1,500 by midday. Across the affected area, officials reported more than 5,000 people dead and at least 10,000 missing.....an unknown number of people were washed away after the Abu Mansur and Derna dams, built to control flooding and soil erosion, failed and sent a wall of water barreling towards the sea—taking entire families and neighborhoods with it."
