‘The Corinthian Gulf is known for high seismicity He has had great earthquakes in the past. 4.8 Richter is not particularly large and we can say it is expected for such an area. There have been no aftershocks so far and we will see in the next few hours if we would call it abnormal behavior. It’s still early to say anything. We watch it but We are not sure that this was the main earthquake ยปhe first explained.
“When it is an isolated earthquake you have no evidence and you cannot conclude exactly what the behavior of the phenomenon is. When there are aftershocks we can see the sizes and so we have a criterion and follow the evolution. We are in a standby stand to see If aftershocks will follow Or not to say a more well -founded evaluation, “said Gerasimos Papadopoulos.
