Abstract
At 03:21 local time on 26 July 2001, a very powerful earthquake occurred in the northern Aegean Sea near Skyros Island, fortunately without casualties. It was felt strongly throughout a large part of Greece. For example, see the front page of the newspaper Xora on 27 July 2001 entitled: “Shock. The whole of Greece was shaking” with the headline: “The earthquake struck at dawn on Skyros by 5.7 Richter. Incalculable damage to the island. Terrified, the residents passed the night outside of their homes in squares, due to fear of new earthquakes”.
