“It was an earthquake of 4.3 on the Richter scale 3 kilometers west of Nafpaktos for this and was very much felt in areas such as Nafpaktos, Saint Basil, and Rio. The focal depth was small and this was so strongly felt. I expect a strong aftershock sequence. I believe that this was the main earthquake, but is not excluded to give a 4.5 on the Richter scale. There is no reason for concern and it is understood that we are, as always careful,” he said in Patra News the seismologist Akis Tselentis.
