Strong quake strikes southern Greece
ATHENS, Greece, Feb 14 (AP): A strong earthquake struck southern Greece Thursday, the U.S. Geological Survey and Greek geological authorities said. There were no immediate reports of damage or injuries. The USGS initially put the preliminary magnitude at 7.3, but later revised it downward to 6.7. The Geodynamic Institute of Thessaloniki University in northern Greece gave a preliminary magnitude of 6.5. The quake, which was felt in Athens, sent people rushing out of buildings in cities of southern Greece, local media said. It struck shortly after noon with an epicentre beneath the seabed south of the southern city of Kalamata in the Peloponnese, about 230 kilometres south of the capital.
