About the earthquake activity observed on Mount Athos after the 5.3 Richter earthquake that occurred on Saturday afternoon in the maritime area of Mount Athos, he spoke on Sunday morning on SKAI and the “Dennadian” President of the Organization.
“We have the prolonged activity that we twice we thought was over. Once after the summer, but it came back once after February we also thought it ended. It is a limited earthquake space, we are not dealing with a large rift that over time gives many earthquakes, young or old but to disseminate time, ”said Mr. Lekkas.
“We are dealing with a localized seismic center that came back with a size that is larger than previous stimulants. Until now we had up to 5. He made it 5.3 this put us on alert. I immediately convened the Seismic Risk and Seismic Risk Assessment Committee. All colleagues emphasized that is a peculiar sequence Which we have to watch out for without panic, “Mr. Lekkas added.
On whether there would be a larger earthquake or whether it was the main earthquake yesterday, yesterday replied that “it is open to all the possibility of a larger earthquake. Nor can we say if it is the Lord. It is probably, but if you look at the paradox of the phenomenon it will be cautious, ”he said.
Finally, he noted that “on the state’s part, based on the suggestions made by the scientific committees, all measures were taken to even cope with the possibility of having more seismic activity, although the possibility is small.”
Mr Lekkas commented that the fact that the earthquake took place in a maritime area is not so helpful. “It’s on the sea coastline,” he said.
“We are watching the phenomenon, there is no concern,” he concluded.
To alert visitors and monks
On a constant alert are monks and visitors to the Virgin Mary from the constant earthquakes that have been shaking the area in recent hours.
Authorities remain on an increased alert as the phenomenon is ongoing and the area is characterized by increased seismicity. Communication with the scientists of the Geodynamic Institute continues, while controls and autopsies in the monasteries will last as needed, with the aim of fully recording and repairing the damage.
