Hi Brian 

Regarding your DD6891 "Patras 4.3 quake - 7.6 will follow"

This certainly must be Greece, Patras, & looks like you have drawn the Rion-Antirrion Bridge. Built in August 2004, it is the longest cable stayed bridge in the world, boasts a continuous deck of 2,250 meters and crosses the 3 km Corinth Gulf Strait.  It joins the city of Rion (Peloponnese)  with Antirion on the mainland. http://www.waymarking.com/waymarks/WM2Z29

Greece is such a beautiful part of the world with such friendly people that welcome you to their homes & I have travelled to many parts, including Corinth canal area which leads to Patras, but mainly the islands.

I hope that they have enough warning from the quake watchers to evacuate prior to the quake. Are you able to look into when this may happen perhaps?

Kind regards

Actually my email should have said 4.2 not .2. Looks like my text is cut out somehow. Yes, I have been watching that area for a few days, but strange that it did not show that situation this morning on USGS. Z xx
