That's pretty close. But please don't worry. Fortunately, the epicentre was at a depth of 46 kilometres, (29 miles), which is quite deep, so the chances are you didn't feel a thing. The quake struck at 22.35 local time, whilst Kalkan was experiencing stormy weather, so your windows may have been rattling already - another reason why nobody probably noticed. In seismology, an earthquake of this magnitude is classed as 'light' - "Noticeable shaking of indoor items, rattling noises. Significant damage unlikely".
