Schools had already been closed with residents were being warned to avoid ports and drain swimming pools in anticipation of the main quake, which hit this afternoon. More than 6,000 residents have left the island in recent days, according to local media. I work on the island, I have been a resident for years. But today? nobody was expecting this to happen, what is happening now on the island is incredible, Julian Sinanaj, a 35-year-old resident said. Precautions were also ordered on several nearby Aegean Sea islands - all popular summer vacation destinations - after more than 200 undersea earthquakes were recorded in the area over the past three days. These measures are precautionary, and authorities will remain vigilant, Civil Protection Minister Vasilis Kikilias said late Sunday following an emergency government meeting in Athens. We urge citizens to strictly adhere to safety recommendations to minimize risk. https://i2-prod.mirror.co.uk/incomin...fears-grow.jpg While Greek experts say the quakes, measuring up to magnitude 4.8, are not linked to Santorinis volcano, they acknowledge that the pattern of seismic activity is cause for concern. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bsy6NJrYzrE |
