Hi!!! Everything's Ok for now, I guess.. It was a doozie, but I live about 350 km away from the epicenter,
and even though I felt the earthquake, it was nothing serious. It was actually measured as a 6,2 Richter Scale!
Anyway, there are no severe damages mentioned and nobody got seriously hurt, thankfully.
It was in Crete (an island), the southest part of Greece. The earthquake was followed by another one, measuring a moderate 4.7, but seismologists say
there are keeping an eye on the situation, they might be afraid of an aftershock-I don't know.
Weird thing is, though, that a noted seismologist when asked to comment on the earthquake, said that they (the seismologists) aren't worried at all
about that area, but they are keeping an extra cautious eye in another area of Greece, where a big earthquake is soon to be expected. He did not
mention which area it is though, nor did he mention when the earthquake is to be expected. He only said that seismologists will notify the people when
they gather more evidence. Now, tell me, doesn't that sound REALLY weird?
Oh, and a team of seismologists currently doing research over the next big earthquake of Greece, based at Cornell University, found out the two most
earthquake prone faults right now in Greece. Problem is, I live on top of the first one, and my parents and my parents' house live on top of the
other one... Which by the way, gave three consecutive 2.8's last night... So I 'm pretty scared, mostly because the media are trying to downplay all
this, and I can't really know.
Sorry I didn't keep in touch sooner, but we have some internet connection issues. Plus, I will try to find the links of these seismologists I
mentioned above in english, cause all I can find is in greek so you guys might have problems reading and understanding them..! When I do, I will post
them here.
Oh, and one last thing. I know it sounds really lame, but the night before the earthquake I had a huge headache,but unusual as well, it was a kind
I've never had before
