Yes I felt it as well. I looked at the lamps hanging down from the ceiling, but they
did not move. Sitting on a office chair felt like driving down a lift...strange, Tsada Golf area

Re: Earth Tremor
Looks like someone also reported this first, so you can remove this post if you wish Dominic.

Aphrodite, looks like we reported this in tandem. Dominic can remove my post if he wishes.

Looking out the window the pool water is rippling? Aftershock? Zero wind at present

We were at Paphos Harbour, and didn't feel a thing. Too busy eating ice cream.

First earthquake I experienced 1995 when I lived in Polis area, 5.9 Richter and only
10 km deep. Center was at the pigs farm in Akamas. It happened in the middle of the
night and the tremors did not stop for 3 days. I slept in my car until it stopped.
Many old buildings at Arodhes/Inia area collapsed and 2 people died.
In the meantime I am used to tremors which appear from time to time and I am not
scared anymore. When I lived a couple of years in Italy it happened in the first week
after moving that there was a very strong one, also in the night, but I stayed in
bed, telling my girlfriend: it is only a tremor... next day I realized that 20 km away
several towns were flattened and many people died.
So don't worry here, that is nothing, and villas are actually properly built earthquake resisting 7.8 Richter...
