Just heard on the news that there has just been a 6.5 earthquake on Corfu. Has it been felt on the Turkish coast?

There's an article in Fethiye times saying it was just off coast of Rhodes and lasted about a minute. Did anyone feel it??

Yes, look at the Earthquake thread on the Kaya Koyu discussion forum. We felt it at about 06.27.

I was woken by the sound of the solar panels rattling and the bed wobbling about.  Needless to say 'himsef' slept through it.

Yep I was up doing the ironing in the cool wondered what the noise was and then the lights all shook and had waves on the pool it even spooked the dogs.....the other half slept through it!
It was off Rhodes not Corfu...hope no one was hurt.

Felt is - it was my first earthquake, not really frightening just felt like a  few ripples. Looked ot the window and the water in the pools was choppy.
Sad if someone died.
