Another earthquake felt at 10.38h

The information on the website for the Instituto Geográfico Nacional shows that it was was a 4.8 seismic shock on the richter scale at a depth of five kilometres with the epicentre below Alhendin again. This information might change as the institute evaluates.

Will post more information as soon as available.

Update 12.12h: Well, Motril seems to have over-reacted, the Policía Local temporarily closed down streets and there have been reports of somebody using a megaphone to get people to evacuate their homes. On the other hand, reactions in Almuñécar and La Herradura have been, “Yeah, we felt it, and?”.

In Granada, closer to the epicentre, one of the large shopping centres gave the order to evacuate shoppers. Building that suffered cracks have seen them worsen (quoting the case of one particular woman known to us).

Furthermore, the Instituto Geográfico Nacional now puts the epicentre being under Gójar, which is also within the Vega de Granada and lies to the north of Dílar and to the south of Zubia.

There has also been an earth tremor beneath Alhendin registering 1.6 this morning at 05:15h
