The earthquake in Thebes, recorded by recorders on Saturday, September 3, worried the inhabitants of Athens.
Seismic activity of magnitude 3.9 on the Richter scale was recorded in Thebes at 11:31 am.
The earthquake had a source 5 km deep and occurred 5 km northeast of Thebes. A seismic wave “swept” throughout Attica, which was felt by the inhabitants of Athens.
European – Mediterranean Seismological Institute (Ευρωμεσογειακό Ινστιτούτο, EMSC), for its part, reports that the magnitude of the earthquake in Thebes was 4.1 on the Richter scale.
As Athens News previously wrote, a series of seismic activity in Attica continues after a powerful earthquake recorded on Friday, July 19, 2019, whose magnitude was 5.3 Richter.
The last powerful aftershock occurred at dawn on Monday (22/7) and amounted to 3.2 on the Richter scale. Meanwhile, the fear of an earthquake among the Athenians forces seismologists such as Gerasimos Papadopoulos to make their own exclusive predictions.
In particular, Mr. Papadopoulos (three years ago), speaking on the SKAI radio broadcast, warned the inhabitants of Attica that citizens should be prepared for strong tremors, indicating that the largest ones could approach the magnitude of the main earthquake, that is, up to 5 Richter points. .
For his part, UASP chairman and professor of geology Efthymios Lekkas, speaking on SKAI television, said that: “We expect a push of 4-4.2 on the Richter scale.” Although Mr. Lekkas noted that “most of them will not be felt, and slightly – only in high-rise buildings.”
Recall that the earthquake occurred on Monday morning (22/7/2019) in Attica. According to the Geodynamic Institute, the earthquake had an intensity of 3.2 Richter. The epicenter of the earthquake was 25 km northwest of Athens, and the depth of the earthquake source is 12 km.
This earthquake is part (echo) of a powerful earthquake with a magnitude of 5.1 (5.3) Richter, which occurred on Friday (7/19/2019).
