Last night At 6.39pm we had a 3.50 earthquake south of the Island.
This morning I had a sleep in, off to the beach it was super foggy however I quickly discovered it was dust. Within a matter of minutes there was a serious wild storm, hail stones and the roads were beginning to flood, at the beach in minutes, it was like being in a snow storm except it was sea foam.
My photo is not great, I’m a couple of minutes from the car, underneath my fav swirly steps at the Antasia, today was a day when I needed a ‘raincoat’ for my camera.
Gosh It was to scary to be there … fortunately
I knew there was some stafff downstairs. Time to go home.
I just discovered:
there was 272 micrograms of dust per cubic metre of air in Paphos, 269.5 in Larnaca, 221 in Ayia Marina Xyliatou, and 199.7 in Limassol.
Cypriot legislation determines that an “acceptable” amount of dust in the air is up to 50 micograms per cubic metre, meaning current ranges are as much as six times the acceptable rate.
Best to stay home…whew
2024 I begin my 3rd Year…
I have absolutely loved and embraced this challenge, I feel incredibly grateful to have discovered 365 when I was learning...
Wow, that's so interesting and frightening at the same time. You can see by the angle of the palm trees how windy it is. Great capture and information.
We were out there in 1996 when the island suffered it’s largest earthquake, 6.8, in September of 1996 which was off Paphos. We were living just south of Famagusta and felt it very strongly.
We had 3 earthquakes in September of 1983 within a few days of each other, shortly after we arrived there. One in Limassol, one in Paphos and one in Protaras. We were living in Erimi at the time.
Stay safe.
