I can't find it in any of the local papers online, but I was just told by someone who lives in Greece that there was an earthquake there today. It measured 6.9.

Just read somewhere that Greece is now 6 metres closer to Africa than before the quake. And normally the annual distance traveled is only 4cm...!
