Earthquake Rocks Crete

There were no reports of casualties or serious destruction in the 6.4 magnitude quake, off the coast of Crete. This area is  often rocked by earthquakes, but cause no serious damage. A 5.9 magnitude quake in 1999 killed 143 people.
Since this quake caused no serious damage, that indicated it was quite deep. Some said that it was much stronger and lasted much longer than the ones' they are used to.
