On the northern half of the second largest Greek island of Euböa, various earthquakes with strengths up to 4.7 took place from Sunday. They were also clearly felt in the capital, which is approximately 130 kilometers away. Greek seismologists turned to the population with a warning of another series of earthquakes.
In conversation with the Otnews, the president of the Greek Society for Earthquake and Seismology, Ethymios Lekkas: “We will experience earthquakes 4 to 5 in the coming days. We say that we had a similar image in earlier Seismic shocks in the same area.”
Seismologist: Caution in very old houses
The seismologist Akis Telentis from the University of Athens presupposes a possible maximum value of strength 5.5 in a Facebook message and mainly advises caution living in very old houses. The experts, however, exclude a mega level. The earthquake stove also had nothing to do with the earthquake of force 6.2 in April in Istanbul, in which more than 150 people were injured. Numerous residents got out in panic and spent several days outside (see image below).
Various Greek Holiday Islands Bented on Wednesday evening. The center of the earthquake with a thickness of 6.1 was south of the island of Kasos, said the USDBIEBENWARTE USGS at the time. The earth blows at 1:51 am (local time, 00:51 hours CEST) also caused vibrations for holidaymakers, very popular Aegean Islands such as Kos, Rhodes and Crete. Even in the Egyptian capital Cairo, the earthquake was felt according to the AFP correspondent report.
Tsunami alarm after the thickness of 6.1
The epicenter was at a depth of 78.4 kilometers about 15 kilometers from the capital of Kasos-Hoorn. Although it was felt in a wide area according to the Greek media, there were no injuries or major damage. As a precaution, however, a Tsunami alarm was sent to people’s mobile phones, including in Rhodes.
From the end of January, thousands of earthquakes around Santorin and the neighboring islands were registered. According to experts, such a series of earthquake since 1964 no longer existed in the area.
