You guys sure it’s not thunder? There seems to be bad weather on the way… it's been dark and a little windy all day.

GR will always make a new story of anything

it is good to see the other side of picture also, but sometimes there is no-other side.

Quake rattles Cyprus, people rush out to streets

AN EARTHQUAKE shook the island yesterday, rattling buildings and even sending office workers out on the streets of Nicosia, a witness said.

According to the Geological Survey Department’s Kyriacos Solomis, the earthquake occurred at 5.09pm, located 10km south of Amathounta at sea.

But citing the French-based European-Mediterranean Seismological Centre, Reuters reported the epicentre only being only two km deep.

“It made blinds swing and seemed to last 20 seconds,” a witness told Reuters.

Seismic waves were felt most intensely in high-rise buildings in Limassol, but also in surrounding villages, in Larnaca, Kiti, and even Nicosia.

The area is known for having similar-strength earthquakes with the last one recorded on August 25, 2009, measuring 4.5 on the Richter Scale.
