Zakynthos earthquake: Greek island shaken by 6.4 tremor

A powerful 6.4-magnitude earthquake south of the island of Zakynthos has been felt across western Greece.
Nobody was injured by the tremor, which struck at 01:54 on Friday (22:54 GMT), but there was significant damage to the local port and a 13th Century island monastery south of Zakynthos.
A series of aftershocks were felt in the hours after the quake and local schools were shut for the day.
The quake struck 50km (30 miles) south-west of Zakynthos, in the Ionian Sea.
Hundreds of residents spent much of the night outside in the streets as further powerful shocks were felt.
"Everything was visibly shaking up and down. The table, wardrobe and beds were all bouncing," said British holidaymaker Joanna Jones from Liverpool who was staying with her family at a hotel in Alykanas, in the north of the island.
"It felt like it lasted five minutes but realistically it was only 10 seconds. The pool was swaying all over the place and the shelves have all come down in the shops."

No, this is about considerably more than what occurred in that penthouse very nearly 10 years back. It's about visually impaired commitment. It's about the faithful, unquestioning dedication of a fan. It's about game's tendency to revere our venerated images, notwithstanding their blemishes and failings. It's tied in with declining to overlook that, underneath their p...
