The European-Mediterranean Seismological Centre (EMSC) reported a magnitude 3.6 quake in Greece near Amaliada, Ilia Prefecture, Western Greece, only 4 minutes ago. The earthquake hit in the afternoon on Wednesday, November 27th, 2024, at 5:10 pm local time at a very shallow depth of 5 km. 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.
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 Arkoudi (pop. 1,300) located 4 km from the epicenter, Vartholomio (pop. 3,100) 11 km away, Gastouni (pop. 8,100) 13 km away, and Andravida (pop. 3,600) 18 km away.
