Earthquake hits Greece and Turkey, bringing deaths and floods
Quote:
A powerful earthquake has struck off Turkey's Aegean coast and north of the Greek island of Samos, destroying a number of houses.
The 7.0 magnitude tremor was centred off Turkey's Izmir province, the US Geological Survey (USGS) said.
Turkey put the magnitude lower, at 6.6, saying four people had died and 120 were injured in the city of Izmir. On Samos, eight people were injured.
The shallow tremor triggered a mini-tsunami that flooded Izmir and Samos.
The USGS said the quake - which was felt as far away as Athens and Istanbul - struck at a depth of 10km (six miles), although Turkish officials said it was 16km below ground.
