While you may think quakes are a western US problem, some of the largest temblors in US history have happened in the East.

FRY, Greece — A strong earthquake rattled the waters just off the Greek island of Crete Tuesday evening, with shaking felt across the region in the middle of the night.

The magnitude 6.1 quake struck just before 2 a.m. local time Wednesday (7 p.m. ET Tuesday) and was centered just 10 miles south of Fry, Greece and about 70 miles east of Ágios Nikólaos on Crete, according to the U.S. Geological Survey.

The quake was deep, measured at nearly 50 miles below the Earth’s surface.

There are no initial reports of damage or injuries yet.

The quake comes a few months after the Greek Islands endured weeks of shaking as a mysterious earthquake swarm triggered hundreds of quakes off the popular tourist spot of Santorini, sending thousands to evacuate.

Those quakes eventually subsided. Wednesday morning’s quake was centered roughly 150 miles south of where the swarm had occurred, and it’s unclear if it was related.
