Witness location : 5 Km SE Kritsa (Greece) (56 km NW from epicenter)

shook my bed

Witness location : 8 Km N Ayios Nikolaos (Greece) (57 km NW from epicenter)

I was lying in bed awake. I felt a rippling motion as if on a water bed with waves passing through. 3 -4 wave motions felt in about 2-3 seconds.

Witness location : 1.5 Km E Neapolis (Greece) (67 km NW from epicenter)

This is the second time an earthquake has been felt by myself and remained unnoticed by my partner and 2 year old boy.  

The first quake, I forget the date but it was about 2 weeks ago, was south of Crete.  This gave a swaying side to side movement.  The second quake on 11 June, near Sitia, made the floor tremble as if a T-Rex was thundering through the house.

The first had no sound, the second had audible sound with it.
