  • Kalamaria - I've lived in Thessaloniki for 5 years and this is about my 3rd quake I've noticed. Out of all of them, this was the loudest & most scary for me, I saw & felt the building sway & the rumble was loud, but I was surprised that nothing in my small unit on the 2nd floor rattled etc. I wasn't asleep which made it worse, but it has scared me a fair bit! (source EMSC)
  • Kalamaria - Sense that the move was up-down, like something really heavy falls behind you. (source EMSC)

  • Thessalonika - It was a strange one, as if a small bomb had exploded. Or as the warplane breaks the sound barrier... (source EMSC)
  • Evosmos - I was lying down in bed and felt sort of jerky sensation, not the rolling mention I have experienced in the past. The building and outside noise was quite noticeable. (source EMSC)
