An earthquake measuring 4.7 on the Richter scale was recorded in its area Aetoloacarnania.

According to the Geodynamic Institute, earthquake it was centered 5 kilometers southwest of Thermos, with a focal depth of 18.4 kilometers.

The earthquake was felt in many areas and in Patras.

According to him Mayor of Thermos, Spyros Konstandaras were there only rock and stone falls in the mountainous provincial network due to the earthquake. There are no reports of damage to homes at this time. There are people from the municipality who go to areas.

The earthquake is superficial and there will be post-seismic activity in the area of ​​Trichonida according to the scientists. Smaller aftershocks have already occurred.

Akis Tselentis, PhD in Geophysics and director of the Geodynamic Institute, said: “We just had 4.7R 5km WNW of Thermos, 21km from Messolonghi. Due to a small focal depth, it became quite noticeable in Patras. We are watching it. It’s still too early for final assessments, although it doesn’t bother me, I still want to see the post-seismic sequence which should be enough due to the very small focal depth».
