Strong 6.9 Magnitude earthquake rattles Greece, Egypt, Jordan

Wow! This was a big one.

From Jerusalem Post:

"The US Geological Survey, based in Colorado, and the National Earthquake Information Center in Denver gave a preliminary magnitude of 6.7, while the University of Thessaloniki, which also has a geodynamic institute, reported the quake had a preliminary magnitude of 6.9. The reason for the discrepancies in magnitude was not immediately clear.

Initial reports from authorities in Greece indicated there had been minor damage at the airport in Kythira and in buildings on the southern island of Crete."

"The Athens Geodynamic Institute, which initially gave a magnitude of 6.4, later amended it to 6.9 and said the epicentre was located beneath the seabed, about 200 kilometres south of Athens and 20 kilometres east of the island of Kithira."

Getting into the territory of some of Cayce's most specific predictions in this part of the Mediterranean. Greater activity in Vesuvius, Etna etc.

Quakes gotta rock those volcanoes!

THE NEXT GREAT TSUNAMI WILL HIT THE MED.SEA MAKE A MENTAL NOTE U HEARD IT HERE FIRST.

A little too close to the Canaries
and Las Palmas.
Tsnami on the eastern seaboard?

tsunami-sorry!

[link to weather.unisys.com]

here is the P wave.

here is current seismogram in Polish station while earchquake in Greece is still visible

[link to www.igf.edu.pl]

No big afterquakes so far, and scientists say that in such a quake strong but quite deep, its a normal behaviour although the cant be sure about anything.
Also they say, that such deep quakes dont usually upset nearby faults, so we stay alert but with no strong fear for another big (or bigger) one in the same or a nearby area.

Thanks guys. 58646, what makes you think the next tsunami will be in the Med?!

Regular quakes don't cause tsunamis, its the displacement of water up or down that does. Meaning a play slipping down or getting heaved up.

Regular shaking don't..

Wowsah...

Yes... if the the movement was like a "lifting" then that could cause a tsunami....

Peace

Its sad that Europes seismos only show this at

Man...

Peace

We have aftershocks... but also in Italy, it seems to have "bothered"...

Note please, Yellow Sea and Mid Indian Rdige showed activity prior to this quake...

Peace

What's going on in Sicily now???? Mt. Etna getting ready to blow????

Since this mornings earthquake Sicily has been have small quake, after quake, after quake....

You amaze me sometimes victor. It depends if it's a thrust fault as opposed to a strike slip fault.

And the debunkers are still all claiming earthquakes haven't increased. Can you see their bullshit yet?

Asian tsunami was caused by asteriod impact not earthquake. It radiated out in a cirular movement more consistent with impact event. It also threw up massive moisture into the air which caused rain and flooding in California when it reached the west coast.

On top of all that the impact zone was consistent with Aussie bloke map showing possible impact sites and within the timeframe he gave.

NOT to forget the deluge rain they had in indonesia not too long ago also.

Tsunami med sea Yes

Also remember the Med sea is where the Hellenic arc is

The Med area is the centre of the 3 major religions also that of pagan religion

All is coming full circle

Yeshua is Lord

SILVER SPRING, Md., Nov. 16 /PRNewswire/ -- Discovery Channel´s original
special, AMERICA´S TSUNAMI: ARE WE NEXT?, premieres in the U.S. on Sunday,
December 18, at 9 PM (ET/PT), reveals new geological evidence that seafloor
uplift from the 9.2 magnitude Great Sumatra earthquake -- not a giant
underwater landslide as previously thought --caused the devastating December
26, 2004, Asian tsunami.

I posted 11/17 "lifting" is what I mean...

"This is normal and good because it allows this phenomenon to get rid of the pressure it has built up," Stavrakakis said.


umm, unless the pressure is really building and this wasn't a release, but a precursor.

but hey, live on the sunny side, and ignore the thorns at your own peril

It doesn't matter what the debunkers say or think anymore. They are always ignored here and nobody trusts anything they say. Let them talk with each other like they do.

greece is now 6 meters closer to north afrika.
i only have a german source for this.

the usual yearly average was only 4 centimeters.

MM Exactly. The bottom line is the displacement of the water. That is what causes the Tsunami, not side to side shaking. That won't cause much of an energy "wave". You have to have an upward or downward displacement of water that creates that large energy spike.

Just like if you drop a pebble in water it displaces the water.

Up and Down = Tsunami
Side to Side = small waves if you are lucky.
