Who felt the earthquake last night near Paphos 4.9

Post by cyprusmax47 »

I woke up last night, just after 12.30, because my bed was shaking and cupboards making funny noises. I switched lights on and went to the bathroom when i saw that the lamp in the bedroom was still swinging. In this case it must have been a bigger tremor which was confirmed in the press.

The image from CM does not show it though

Damages recorded, girl trapped in bedroom after Paphos earthquake

The earthquake that shook Paphos early Wednesday morning, caused minor damage and prompted a rescue operation.

The tremor, which occurred shortly after midnight, was felt for several seconds and resulted in panic among residents. Initial reports indicate a magnitude of 4.9 on the Richter scale with an epicentre in the sea off Paphos.

The quake caused minor damage to some buildings, particularly older structures, and led to one incident where a teenage girl became trapped in her bedroom. The Fire Service was called to the scene and successfully rescued the girl.

Emergency services, including the Civil Defense, Police, Fire Service, and teams from the District Administration, were deployed to assess the situation and provide assistance. No serious injuries have been reported, but authorities are continuing to assess the damage.

Never felt a thing in Choulou, or must have slept through it!
