Major Crete Earthquake A Non-Event on Crete

Friday July 3, 2009
Despite a major undersea earthquake striking south of Crete, the deep tremor did little damage and most Cretans didn't feel it, despite a range of Richter scale estimates between about 5.9 and 6.7. As luck would have it, I'm on the south coast of Crete at the moment and didn't feel the quake. The only possible evidence I've seen or heard of so far are more than the usual number of fallen rocks along the roads and some eels and dead fish washing up on shore.
