There was another earthquake in his area Samos – this time the earthquake was strong 4.5 on the Richter scale.

Ready and Alert located seismologists after double earthquake noted earlier in Samo. From what it seems and according to what he also said Alexandros Limberis, mayor of Western Samos in “K“, no major problems or damage have been reported, but everyone on the island is waiting to see what seismic next.

For a picture of a double quake and what might follow, a seismologist Gerasimos Papadopoulosdirector of the seismological research department of the Geodynamic Institute of the Athens National Observatory told K: “We had 2 back to back vibrations. The first at 12:56 with a magnitude of 4.7 on the Richter scale, a surface earthquake, 13 kilometers south of Pythagorion in the underwater zone. Behind him the second at 13.10, stronger, the size 5.2 Richter’s similar focus. Consequently earthquake 4.7 Richter is the aftershock of this 5.2. It’s still too early to tell if this is a magnitude 5.2 quake.. This is something we don’t know. We need more evidence to decide if other larger earthquakes will follow.”

“Her positive side case is that the focus of today’s earthquakes has nothing to do with the strongest earthquake in the north of Samos on October 30, 2020. In other words, we do not have the same activated focus. Today’s fault is, of course, quite active and has also given past strong earthquakes, but this is a fault located at a relatively safe distance from the island, so two earthquakes felt as shallow as they were, but apparently they were not destructive, ”added Mr. Papadopoulos.
