Witness location : Episkopi (Cyprus) (11 km NE from epicenter)

If this was 4.4 I wonder where the focus point was and at what magnitude that was? I'm hopeing for a much bigger earthquake before we leave, maybe a mini tsunami would also be nice.

Witness location : Episkopi (Cyprus) (11 km NE from epicenter)

felt very odd, never experienced one before, certainly raised my pulse - no harm in that as my work was not thrilling me much at the time!

Felt strong shaking

Witness location : Episkopi (Cyprus) (11 km NE from epicenter)

Witness location : Episkopi (Cyprus) (11 km NE from epicenter)

It seemed much stronger than that in 1996, but the epicentre was closed I think.

Witness location : Akrotiri (Cyprus) (12 km E from epicenter)

My wardrobe doors were rattling and some of my furniture moved.

Witness location : Akrotiri (Cyprus) (12 km E from epicenter)

As i was inside the noise was a factor for me. It happened all of a sudden, lasted some 7 or 8 secs and stopped. The noise was an instant roar and maintained its peak throughout, then silence.

At time of the quake I was on a Limassol bus travelling in Akrotiri/Asomatos area. NO notice of anything at all.
Maybe this tells more about the bus and road conditions here.

Due to aerobatic team training above some confusion as to cause of disturbance.

The whole building trembled and shook. noise started low, then peaked with a banging sound. Trembling and shaking died away quickly. Time 5 - 10 seconds total.

Whole house was shaking and a low rumbling noise for about 5 seconds. Biggest one I've felt in 10 years in Cyprus.

Witness location : Kolossi (Cyprus) (13 km NE from epicenter)

Sounded and felt like a nearby thud, immediately followed by shaking of the house with local rattling of doors, for only 3 or 4 seconds. Your Question 6, second part needs spelling corrected.

Witness location : Pissouri (Cyprus) (15 km NW from epicenter)

Große Fensterflächen vibrierten deutlich, aber kein Ton.

Witness location : Ypsonas (Cyprus) (15 km NE from epicenter)

there were two distinct bangs as the building felt like it had been hit by something large, that were accompanied by two distinct banging noises, these were probably separated by 1-2 seconds. There was also rumbling vibrations which could be clearly felt for about 5 seconds in total but no significant horizontal or vertical movement throughout. there was no damage to anything or anyone in our building but this location was about 20kn from the centre.

Witness location : Ypsonas (Cyprus) (15 km NE from epicenter)

It started with rattling of the patio door shutters, then ornaments, crockery etc in the cupboards rattled and then the house shook from side to side. It was like a wave motion in one place and moving along the house from left to right (south to north).

Witness location : Polemidia (Cyprus) (18 km NE from epicenter)

Nothing much just a small shake nothing more but maybe we expect bigger one later on we shall see
