Witness location : Methoni (Greece) (28 km NW from epicenter)

MANY PEOPLE SAID THAT WERE FEELING VERY DISSY AFTER THE EARTHQUAKE..

Witness location : Kalamata (Greece) (61 km NE from epicenter)

Interesting that despite the size and effect on us at the top floor of a 6 story building, when I spoke to 2 friends in 2 seperate locations just on the outside of Kalamata, they did not notice the earthquake, but both of them were outside in their fields working.

Witness location : Kalamata (Greece) (61 km NE from epicenter)

it lasted about a minute

Witness location : Kalamata (Greece) (61 km NE from epicenter)

these answers apply to the 1st quake on feb 14th, I was in Champion 2 hrs later for the 2nd. All the hanging products were swaying a lot & bottles etc were rattling on the shelves.

Witness location : Kalamata (Greece) (61 km NE from epicenter)

unfortunately no. It was my first time. I tried to stay calm but I admit I was scared and had tachycardia. The trembling due several seconds. I got up from my chair and moved ?? the door-sill where I stood until the earthquake ended. Then I got downstairs and outside.

Witness location : Sparti (Greece) (82 km NE from epicenter)

i don't have any comments

Witness location : Megalopoli (Greece) (98 km N from epicenter)

electricity went out and phone service stoped

Witness location : 0.5 Km SE Ambelokipoi (Greece) (154 km NW from epicenter)

The alarming thing was that it seemed to go on for a very long time.

Witness location : Zakinthos (Greece) (155 km NW from epicenter)

Only that we realised it was not a local earthquake as it was swaying for some time, probably about a minute, and probably a shock from a bigger one some distance away at sea or the main land. The local quakes are usually shakers  not swaying etc.

Witness location : Gaitanion (Greece) (155 km NW from epicenter)

Lasted unusually long, very slow motion, felt like it was a great displacement.

Witness location : 5 Km SE Kiato (Greece) (182 km NE from epicenter)

I FELT DIZZY FOR A WHILE

Witness location : Patrai (Greece) (185 km NW from epicenter)

It had very long duration that made you worry

Witness location : Aiyion (Greece) (189 km N from epicenter)

I felt really dizzy, like being in a ship

Witness location : Piraieus (Greece) (228 km NE from epicenter)

Everyone felt really dizzy after the earhquake.

Witness location : Piraieus (Greece) (228 km NE from epicenter)

It was a strange earthquake.  It made me feel like I was in a ship, I felt some kind of nausea.

Witness location : Aryiroupoli (Greece) (231 km NE from epicenter)

It was very soft trembling , for about 40 seconds. In the beginning i thought that was me moving, my heart or my breath.

Witness location : Kallithea (Greece) (231 km NE from epicenter)

I was afraid it will NOT STOP!
I was afraid it might get more aggressive or that the building (30years old) can be damaged due to the (i think) 20secs CONTINUOUS & STABLE(<---I emphasize THAT) shaking.
Last I was anxious it was a new one on "Parnitha", but not a really hard one!

Witness location : 18 Km SE Aspropirgos (Greece) (233 km NE from epicenter)

I FELT AN INTENSE BUT MODERATE SWAYING THAT LASTED MORE THAN 10 SECONDS, NO VISIBLE DAMAGES ALTHOUGH HAPPENED TO THE BUILDING
