This just happend! I know it may not seem huge to most of you since you're used to hear bigger numbers, but this a big Quake for this area. Thessaloniki with around 1 Million people is just around the corner.

I'll be posting updates

Hope it's not to close to you Hellas?

Thanks for the heads up, and you be safe
