Yes, we felt it in Lasa. Just a couple of shakes!

Yes, in Letymbou.

Yes the earth moved for me too!

Couple of shakes in Chloraka

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

Looks like someone also reported this first, so you can remove this post if you wish Dominic.
Power of the forum in action!

EMSC: 4.4 Richter, 60km deep, 25miles southwest of Timi

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

To close for comfort Max, worse I have experienced in years.

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

Our neighbour felt it in Theletra - but we didn't. xx

No problem, perhaps the two posts could be merge X

My wife felt the shake in Polemi

Trev..

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

As requested, I have merged the two threads into one.

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...
