Guest guest Posted January 8, 2006 Report Share Posted January 8, 2006 Sunday, 8 January 2006, 17:54 GMT Earthquake shakes southern Greece A strong earthquake has struck southern Greece, including the capital, Athens, but there are no reports of injuries. The underwater quake, which measured 6.9 magnitude, shook buildings in the capital and was felt as far away as northern Greece, Jordan and Egypt. It struck at 1134 GMT and lasted for several seconds. The quake's epicentre was located about 200km (125 miles) south of Athens, near the island of Kythira, the Athens Geodynamic Institute said. A ferry boat captain sailing close to Kythira said the movement of the sea was tremendous. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/europe/4592418.stm Dasha: Ra/Sa/Ju/Ve/Sa satva Jorge Angelino Rua da Sociedade Filarmónica Perpétua Azeitonense, 29 2925-598 Azeitão Portugal jorge.angelino tel: mobile: 210813674 963916784 Add me to your address book...
