Small magnitude 3.9 earthquake 66 km southwest of Rethymno, Greece
3.9 quake 19 Sep 6:22 am (GMT +3)

A magnitude 3.9 earthquake near Rethymno, Crete, Greece, was reported only 13 minutes ago by the National Observatory of Athens (NOA), considered the main national agency that monitors seismic activity in Greece. The earthquake occurred at a shallow depth of 11.5 km beneath the epicenter early morning on Thursday, September 19th, 2024, at 6:22 am local time. The exact magnitude, epicenter, and depth of the quake might be revised within the next few hours or minutes as seismologists review data and refine their calculations, or as other agencies issue their report.
A second report was later issued by the German Research Centre for Geosciences (GFZ), which listed it as a magnitude 4.5 earthquake. A third agency, the European-Mediterranean Seismological Centre (EMSC), reported the same quake at magnitude 4.2.
Based on the preliminary seismic data, the quake should not have caused any significant damage, but was probably felt by many people as light vibration in the area of the epicenter.
Weak shaking might have been felt in Ampelos (pop. 10) located 4 km from the epicenter.
Other towns or cities near the epicenter where the quake might have been felt as very weak shaking include Palaiochora (pop. 2,400) located 54 km from the epicenter, Georgioupolis (pop. 2,500) 57 km away, Rethymno (pop. 32,500) 66 km away, Tympaki (pop. 5,300) 66 km away, Nerokouros (pop. 4,400) 67 km away, Mourniés (pop. 5,300) 68 km away, and Souda (pop. 6,700) 68 km away.
