Thank you today for the article, introduced: "A destructive earthquake took place in Greece in 1995. It occurred in a zone where the maximum expected shaking over half a millenia was less than this event. It caused the strongest ground motion ever recorded in the country. Luckily, despite this, it only killed 26 people due to two buildings collapsing, and a further 200 were injured." --Gerda Arendt (talk)06:53, 3 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
