A magnitude 2.7 earthquake near Corfu, Kérkyra, Ionian Islands, Greece, was reported only 22 minutes ago by the National Observatory of Athens (NOA), considered the main national agency that monitors seismic activity in Greece. The earthquake occurred at a shallow depth of 10. km beneath the epicenter in the morning on Saturday, August 9th, 2025, at 10:20 am local time. 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.
Our monitoring service identified a second report from The Seismological Laboratory of the University of Athens (UOA) which listed the quake at magnitude 2.6. Other agencies reporting the same quake include the European-Mediterranean Seismological Centre (EMSC) at magnitude 2.9, the citizen-seismograph network of RaspberryShake at magnitude 2.7, and The Aristotle University of Thessaloniki Geophysical Lab. (AUTH) at magnitude 2.6.
Towns or cities near the epicenter where the quake might have been felt as very weak shaking include Klimatia (pop. 230) located 1 km from the epicenter, Acharavi (pop. 1000) 7 km away, Agios Georgis (pop. 5,000) 8 km away, Kontokali (pop. 1,700) 11 km away, Potamos (pop. 3,800) 14 km away, and Alepou (pop. 3,100) 16 km away. In Corfu (pop. 27,000,

Revised Preliminary Flood Maps for El Paso County, Texas Ready for Public View

DENTON, Texas – Revised Preliminary Flood Insurance Rate Maps (FIRMs) are available for review by residents and business owners in the city of El Paso; the towns of Anthony, Clint and Horizon City; the village of Vinton; and unincorporated areas of El Paso County, Texas.

Property owners are encouraged to review the latest information to learn about local flood risks and potential future flood insurance requirements. Community residents can identify any concerns or questions about the information provided and participate in the appeal and comment periods for the maps.

This is El Paso County’s first complete set of digital FIRMs. These maps serve multiple purposes, including defining Special Flood Hazard Areas (SFHAs). SFHAs are areas at high risk for flooding. Community leaders can use these maps to make informed decisions about building standards and development that will make the community more resilient and lessen the impacts of a flooding event.

FEMA stresses that flooding can and does happen outside of the most vulnerable areas.

Review the revised preliminary flood maps by visiting the local floodplain administrator (FPA). A FEMA Map Specialist can help identify community FPAs. Specialists are available by telephone at 877-FEMA-MAP (877-336-2627) or by email at [email protected].

The revised preliminary maps may also be viewed online:
