That was a big earthquake was it not???????....

Yes Iwe had it in villa in iskele. Was thinking the same but I suppose it depends where the epicentre id

Just felt a tremour in catalkoy 4.28pm

Wine in glass sloshing about nicely in Çatalköy!

Yes we felt it to

I have lived here since 2006 and have felt a few tremors in that time. But that one was the biggest yet. Wherever the centre is i hope everyone is ok.

It was just off Patra in Greece, magnitude 3.1

Moderate mag. 5.4 earthquake - Eastern Mediterranean, 13 km northeast of Larnaca, Larnaka, Cyprus, on Thursday, 21 Jan 2021 4:27 pm (GMT +2) - 20 minutes ago

I thought that it was an earthquake, and here it is on the Real Time interactive earthquake map

In bed with the wife, she said that was the best tremor ever, than you tutonic plates

It was just outside Pyla on the south side apparently 4.8 on the scale so not a small one. No reports of any injuries or damage yet.

5.1 reported in Famagusta.

5.1? so maybe the centre was Famagusta, hope everyone is ok. It certainly shook my place near Esentepe. A bottle of rum was shaking and making it's way towards the edge of the worktop. But i managed to save it. Just having a couple now with a spot of coke, purely to calm my nerves of course.

Never felt a thing! Was in the garden and the dog slept through it as well. Maybe it doesn't affect us lot half way up the mountainside?

Yes, we felt it in Alsancak. Hubby was sleeping and I said, 'Gosh, the house is shaking', he awoke and thought I was dreaming. No Darling the earth was moving!!!!

Remember one around July 2003 just off North Cyprus the sea was so high & strong waves for days after. It was probably a tsunami which we had never heard of in those days.

Ozankoy/Bellapais, never felt a thing, cats never woke up either. Lol

I never felt a thing either but then we are quite high up. Sort of feel lucky but cheated at the same time. Having said that over the last couple of years I guess we have had enough excitement in Catalkoy with a lightening strike on a disused hut that burnt out, a near miss with a missile and a nearby ammos store exploding. Nice to have something other than Covid to talk about for a change though.

Wait till next month when the snow hits our bit of the mountains - wonderful to see but makes me glad that both my wood stores are full - lol.

Snow? Blimey you must be a bit higher than us then!
