Possible earthquake 5.3 on the Richter scale occurred 22:16 in the maritime area between Santorini and Amorgos.

The earthquake was particularly noticeable in Athens.

According to the initial assessment of the Geodynamic Institute, there were two earthquakes in one minute, but there was a correction, as one earthquake was confirmed 5.3 on the Richter scale.

Eventually, the earthquake was 5.3 on the Richter scale, focusing at 14 kilometers south-southwest of Amorgos Amorgos and a focal depth of 17 kilometers.

According to the data so far, it was the largest recorded so far, as the previous one was 5.2 Richter.

What the Director of the Geodynamic Institute said earlier to SKAI

“So far, what seems to be following the features of the flocks,” SKAI told SKAI Vassilis KarastathisDirector of the Athens Geodynamic Institute, invited to comment on earthquake activity in the Cyclists.

As he explained, the semantic implies seismic vibrations of similar sizes. He stressed that by talking about recession we mean a recession in the number of earthquakes of strong Richter (eg more than four), just as it is observed on the 7th of the month onwards.

In any case, he summarize that we should not be in a hurry to talk about expanding the phenomenon, as such a conclusion can be drawn after a few days, as the phenomena will be studied by experts.

“We are waiting for the details. That is, we have to look at this for a long time, ”he said characteristically, saying that some first conclusions may be drawn from next week and adding that any changes are taking place in very slow times.

“Just having a sign of recession does not mean it will be maintained,” he admitted, stressing that it would not be unlikely that the number of earthquakes would even increase in a few days.
