Rhodes Earthquake Thursday

[Ray1951]

My friend Lynn who lives in Corfu rang me yesterday to say that they had had the biggest earth tremor she had ever experienced in Corfu.  Seems that they had an earthquake in Rhodes, measuring 6.9 yesterday morning and the after shock hit Corfu at 10 am.  I wondered if anywhere in Turkey felt the effects?  There hasn't been anything on the news about it.  During my 11 years in Corfu, we had loads of earth tremors and I know that Calis and Fethiye had a few big tremors last year.

Ray1951 - I've googled that and can find no record of a 6.9 earthquake in Rhodes yesterday.

Check this link, there were some quakes around the Greece area but none measuring above 4.5,

Yes Andylin that's the website that I looked at.

And Corfu is nowhere near Rhodes! It is probably 10x the distance from Rhodes to Corfu than it is Rhodes to Fethiye...

Rhodes and Corfu are rather far apart.

Scunner beat me to it

The biggest quake yesterday was a 6.1 in the Santa Cruz islands.
Can't see anything over 4 anywhere near Greece

I have a friend that lives on Corfu and she said that yesterday they had a quake at 10.00 a.m. measuring 4 on the richter scale

I've had sneezes that measure more than that

I'll have some of what Ray's chum Lynn is drinking!
