ikaika ka honua hahau Helene kapikala o Athens ma 2:14pm manawa kūloko, me ka epicenter aia 23km komohana ʻākau o ke kūlanakauhale, e like me ka Institute of Geodynamics ma ka National Observatory of Athens.

Ua paʻi ʻia ke kūlanakauhale e kekahi mau haʻalulu, me ke ana ikaika loa ʻo 5.1, e holo ai nā kānaka ma nā alanui mai nā hale, nā keʻena a me nā hale kūʻai.

Ua ʻike ʻia ka ʻōlaʻi, a ukali ʻia e kekahi mau haʻalulu ma nā wahi like ʻole o ke kūlanakauhale. Ua wehewehe nā mea hōʻike iā lākou he "mana." ʻAʻohe ʻeha i hōʻike ʻia ma hope koke o ke olai.

Hōʻike nā kiʻi mai ke kiʻi i ka haʻalulu a hāʻule i loko o nā hale i ka wā o ka haʻalulu.

Ua hoʻokuʻu ʻia nā hale lehulehu a me nā hale kūʻai nui.

Piha ka poʻe puʻuwai i nā alanui, me ka makaʻu i nā haʻalulu hou aʻe. Ua ʻākoakoa lākou ma waho o nā hale, a haʻalele kekahi i kā lākou mau kaʻa a me nā kaʻa.
