Shallow earthquakes are felt more strongly than deeper ones as they are closer to the surface. The exact magnitude, epicenter, and depth of the quake might be revised within the next few hours or minutes as seismologists review data and refine their calculations, or as other agencies issue their report.A second report was later issued by The Seismological Survey of Serbia (SSS), which listed it as a magnitude 2.9 earthquake as well. Other agencies reporting the same quake include the National Observatory of Athens (NOA) at magnitude 3.0, the citizen-seismograph network of RaspberryShake at magnitude 2.9, and The Aristotle University of Thessaloniki Geophysical Lab. (AUTH) at magnitude 2.8.Based on the preliminary seismic data, the quake should not have caused any significant damage, but was probably felt by many people as light vibration in the area of the epicenter.
