After the 5.3 magnitude earthquake in Florina that shook Greece, Macedonia and Albania last night, a warning was released Monday by the director of the Institute of Geodynamics in Greece, Professor Akis Tselentis.

In his speech after the quake, Tselentis noted that from the data so far, last night was the main quake, which means that the other tremors were after the 5.3 magnitude quake.

At the same time, he warned that because of the shallow focal depth of the quake, the shaking sequences would continue for a long time "even for days, maybe weeks".

As he told "SKAI" on Monday morning, the possibility of a larger earthquake is very small and noted that the reason why the tremor has become so sensitive is because it happened very close to the surface.

"It is a crack in the west of Florina that was not known, it was just a branch of the fracture that is known. But what worries me is that we had a serious history in the area a few years ago. That is, in 1994 we had a 5.9 earthquake near 6 Richter 40 km from Florina from another crack ", stressed the professor.

Finally, Professor Tselentis added that the surrounding area gives strong earthquakes indicating that in November 1967 another earthquake occurred, 6.6 Richter earthquake.
