Citizens nerves are frayed as a little before 04.00 am the island was hit by a 3.8 quake, adding to the intense aftershock activity that has made people abandon their homes, especially in Lixouri. So far the state apparatus has proved unable to rise to the occasion, despite the intense mobilization, as coordination is basically non-existent.

Earlier today there was a rumor that a huge earthquake was on its way in the badly damaged city of Lixouri and the inhabitants should evacuate immediately. It was a vicious rumor.

Greek armed forces trying to disembark on Cephalonia are now facing the poor conditions of the harbors after the earthquake.
