Egypt quake revives Dutch seismologists' forecast
Egypt experienced an earthquake with a magnitude of 5.2 on the Richter scale. Its epicenter was approximately 38 kilometers from Suez City. Residents of Cairo and neighboring governorates felt the quake, but no significant human or infrastructural damages were reported. This earthquake occurs amid increased seismic activity in the Mediterranean region, where Dutch seismologist Frank Hrouwenbits had warned a few days earlier of a possible stronger tremor reaching up to 6 degrees near the Aegean Sea Plate, suggesting that lunar activity might be a contributing factor. Hrouwenbits explained that the initial estimates of the earthquake’s strength were revised after the event, and that pinpointing the exact locations remains challenging, as moderate seismic activity continues in the area.
