“Lebanon Debate”
Residents of the city of Sidon and its environs felt an earthquake around 10:15 a.m., which lasted for a few seconds. However, the National Center for Geophysics in Bahnis, affiliated with the National Council for Scientific Research, denied this, as it confirmed that no earthquake was recorded in the city of Sidon today.
In this context, Tony Nemer, a geology researcher at the American University, explained in an interview with Lebanon Debate, “To confirm that an earthquake has occurred, the recordings must be reviewed through the Bahnes Center or in centers near the area.”
He says: “We notice during this period that there are a number of citizens feeling earthquakes, and the Bhans Center does not record them. I do not know what is the reason behind this feeling, but in any case we cannot deny people’s feelings because they may be right in this matter.”
Nimr adds: “The tremors that citizens feel in Sidon could be due to the continuous Israeli bombing of the southern regions, but we cannot be sure of that,” noting that “it is not possible to expect any tremors or earthquakes to occur, but rather it is only possible This is based on geological studies and research.
He points out that “the Bahnes Center only announces any topic related to the earthquake,” pointing out that “the monitoring centers rely on each other to monitor tremors and earthquakes, that is, sometimes the Euro-Mediterranean Center relies on the Bahnes Center to ensure that an earthquake is recorded, and this may be monitored.” Through another center in neighboring countries.”
Regarding the escalation of warnings of a devastating earthquake in Istanbul, Nimr points out that “Turkey is one of the countries in which there are many seismic lines, and every time it is exposed to a major earthquake, especially last year we witnessed two large earthquakes on the same day, and currently there are reports of an earthquake line.” Near the city of Istanbul, it may move, but talk about this matter is not new, as it has been talked about for several years, but it is expected that some movement of the line will occur, but without specifying the date or time.”
