Listening to the BBC news this morning I heard that during the early hours Patras suffered an earthquake of 5.1 This was a "great announcement" that had just come through as breaking news from Reuters. Turning to the Greek news TV channel I read that a "μικρός σεισμός" (small earthquake) did actually occur. I guess there can not be much news in the UK to report.......On the internet the size of the quake reported seems to vary from 5.1 - 5.9
In fact on and around the Peloponnese over the last three days there has been in excess of 12 quakes, (and I never felt a one) but few make news, its a fact of life living in Greece. We all pray however that we never suffer the quakes of Kalamata in the past, but life must go on.
