It felt quite big to me ... it had me diving under the dining room table for cover. My cat seemed very alarmed, too, and he is not normally bothered by slight tremors.

Did they play Elvis' "all shook up" on the radio?

Not wanting to sound blase, but after our 6.9s here the 4.5 does not sound so bad.

It was not the worst... I remember worst ones. But it was very near Limassol, so it felt quite strong even though it was just 4.5

The 1953 earthquake that destroyed my village, Stroumbi, killing many villages , around 22, measured 6.1 on the Richter scale.
