Around 4.3 and folks in Larnaca certainly felt it at 2300 (11PM)

Volcanoes are more predictable than earthquakes, but they are irrelevant to this thread.

I repeat: no earthquake can be predicted, neither in time, nor in duration, nor in intensity, nor in damage that may be caused, nor in aftershock activity. There are many places where the "big'un" can happen. including San Andreas, the N. Anatolian fault in the Istanbul region etc. It might happen today, It might not happen in the next decade, no one can tell. What we know is that the Cyprian Arc is relatively quiescent just now, so it is unlikely that we'll have a catastrophic one in the near future, although the Mesaoria fault could go: unfortunately, if it does, it'll possibly be a bad one. It last slipped about 1600 years ago and caused massive destruction. However, it may be another 1600 years before it goes again. Quien sabé?

not really friend ....because there is a team from italy on Thira at the moment and they are my fathers friends ...as i said i admire thira ...i find it fascinating .....i have seen documentaries on the volcano ...bought books and as a innocent ...i was told that there could be a eruption within the next 5-10 years ....and i was given access to GR WEB SITES ...
Two scientists have expressed an interests in the areas plate movement

again i repeat i did not say it will definately happen very soon but rather that i am concerned the prepareness should something like this happen .....was anyone ready for mt st helens in the 80s .....?

GetReal has a web site? No wonder the Med in is turmoil. How much devastation can GetReal be responsible for. Shame on you GR.
