Ready and Alert located seismologists after double earthquake what happened earlier today Samo.

From what it seems and according to what he also said Alexandros Limberis, mayor of Western Samos in “K“, at the moment no major problems and 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 Department of Seismological Research of the Geodynamic Institute of the National Observatory of Athens, told “K” the following:

“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 on the Richter scale similar focus.

»Consequently earthquake 4.7 on the Richter scale is an extension of that 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 data to decide if more quakes 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 that is 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.
