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.

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

[Geoff1131]

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.

[Geoff1131]

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?

[TB10pilot]

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.

[mrsgee]

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.

[waddo]

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.

[Chriswright03]

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