The president of OASP, and professor of Geology Efthymios Lekkas, reported to SKAI 100.3 that the focal depth is estimated at 2 to 3 kilometers.
Seismologists are wary of whether the magnitude 5 earthquake that struck at 1.02 am was the main one. The seismic tremor was strongly felt in the wider area of ​​the Corinthian Gulf and in Attica.
The president of OASP, and professor of Geology Efthymios Lekkas, reported to SKAI 100.3 that the fault had an East-West direction, at the entrance of the Gulf of Itea, and the focal depth is estimated at 2 to 3 kilometers.
He clarified that no assessment can be made at this time if it was the main earthquake, as we will have to see the post-seismic sequence and the evolution of the phenomenon.
Mr. Lekkas underlined, however, that people should not worry, because the area and its infrastructure can withstand much larger earthquakes, up to 6.5 Richter, such as the one that occurred in 1995, for example, and there were no damages.
He stated that after the earthquake, four to five tremors of magnitude 2.5 followed from the same area.
There are no reports of damage, the mayor of Delphi told SKAI Panagiotis Tagalis, who also contacted the neighboring areas.
