6.1 Earthquake Shocks Greece for the 5th Time in 2 Months
Today, 21st of February at 20:27, the 5th earthquake in 2 months shook Greece. The epicenter was 39 km south of the town of Methoni in the sea. The European-Mediterranean Seismological Centre gave an earthquake reading of 6.1 in the Richter scale and so far no damager or casualties have been reported. The recent seismic activity is worrying as a 6+ earthquake could cause a lot of casualties if it hits a populated area.
Was this earthquake predicted with the V.A.N. method that Prof. Varotsos and his team designed? Previous shocks were predicted, and this might mean that the VAN method could become an early warning system and save lives in the future.
