A strong magnitude 6.4 earthquake struck Crete(Greece) 3 weeks after another one killed one person and damaged hundreds of buildings. The Geodynamic Institute in Athens said the undersea earthquake had a preliminary magnitude of 6.3 and occurred at 12:24 p.m. local time off the Island's eastern coast. It was felt as far as the coast of Turkey and the Island of Cyprus, more than 500 kilometer(310 miles) to the east, authorities said. This was the second significant temblor in a month. On September 27, a magnitude 5.8 struck the same region. A man was killed while carrying out restoration work at a church that was damaged in the area. Residents whose homes were damaged were moved to hotels and tents set up by the army. There have been no reports of serious damage or injuries from this most recent quake despite the fact that it was strong and occurred at a shallow depth.
