Witness location : Patrai (Greece) (105 km NW from epicenter)

I live in Patras/Greece. My city is not close to the epicenter. I was also alarmed cause of the previous earthquake that happened some days before close to my city. After experiencing a lot of earthquakes i can tell if the epicenter is close or away from the way the earth moves. That earthquake gave me the impression that was away but not that far away. I was surprised when i saw where the epicenter were at this site. That's the only reason why i fill this questionnaire.

It lasted more than 20', I could feel tha shake

Witness location : Patrai (Greece) (105 km NW from epicenter)

This time I heard the door at the balkony making a weird noise like there was somebody outside, knocking it softly and then the earthquake came... didn't last  much this time.

Witness location : 1 Km NE Khalandrion (Greece) (108 km NE from epicenter)

I did not feel the quake, but a very sensitive pendulum-based earthquake detector I have in my building successfully detected the earthquake, but I initially thought it was a false alarm due to a car alarm nearby that happened exactly the same time.  I then soon learnt it was a real quake when I listened to local radio stations and checked it online.  Local stations report it was felt in Sparta as well.
