Posted on July 9, 2012 by The Extinction Protocol

July 9, 2012 – GREECE - A 5.6 magnitude earthquake recorded in the
coastal area west of the Greek island Rhodes jolted people in Cyprus
right out of their afternoon siesta today. The director of Cyprus’
Geological Survey Department told the CyBC that initial readings put
the quake which hit at 5 minutes to five this afternoon, at a depth of
approximately 50 km. The quake, which lasted for just a few seconds,
was felt in Nicosia and in the towns of Larnaca and Paphos. The quake
was also felt on the south coast of Turkey, namely in the Mugla and
Antalya regions. Turkey’s Kandilli Observatory gave a stronger
preliminary magnitude of 6 on the Richter scale. There were no initial
reports of any damage. –Greek Reporter
