Pining Toubkal in the Earthquake Map

Versión en castellano

For those who have visited Toubkal in the high Atlas and want to know how close was the epicenter to that area and how badly affected the area was, I have blended two maps together trying to answer myself those questions. First a map I got from BBC site indicating the severity of the telluric movement (map 1), then a google map with the names I know from my own trekking to the peak (map 2).

Map 1

Map 2
Toubkal, Imlil were in the strong hit area of the quake

Based on that blending the Imlil and the villages around the Toubkal just escape the severe and very strong sections of the map but were still into the strong zone of the quake. Be mindful of donating to the Red Cross if it is something in your reach.
