After the occurrence of about 20 hours of Turkey earthquake (M=7.0, 2020-10-30, 11:51:27 UTC), we studied this sequence and made a prediction of:
This is a Mainshock-Aftershock type. It means no similar to or larger than M=7 shock within this area in the close future.
The next strong aftershock with M4.5+ ~M5.0 will be 29.255 hours from the main-shock. The real event with M=4.8 occurred at time of 29.838 hours, 35minutes time error. Shown as follows: (The predicted magnitude of strong aftershocks is M=4.5+ to M5.0)

This is a very good case study of earthquake prediction.
