  • [01] Strong 6.3R earthquake rocks Rhodes

    A strong earthquake measuring 6.3 on the Richter scale rocked the island of Rhodes at dawn on Tuesday, and according to initial reports a 56-year-old woman died when she slipped and struck her head on the stairs as she fled her home.

    The earthquake was recorded at 6:26 a.m. in the sea area south of the Dodecanese island of Rhodes, 445 kilometers east of Athens.

    The trembler, which was also felt on the eastern coast of Crete, on Santorini and Samos and other surrounding islands, sent local residents fleeing to the streets.

    There were no initial reports of damage, apart from a minor landslide on the Lardou-Pylonas provincial road on Rhodes, which was immediately cleared by municipal crews. Several power cuts that also ensued after the quake were also immediately restored.

    Dodecanese Prefect Yiannis Machairas said the quake had been strongly felt, and had duration, while Rhodes Mayor K. Hatziefthimiou said it had been strongly felt.

    A woman in the town of Massares, Archangelos municipality, on Rhodes was killed when she struck her head on the stairs as she was fleeing her home after the quake.

    The woman was rushed immediately to the Archangelos Health Center after the accident, but was reported dead on arrival (DOA).
