British tourists have told of the scary moment they were woken up by their hotel rooms “shaking” as an earthquake hit the Greek holiday island of Crete. Michaela Melton said she and her daughter woke up at around 1.51am after feeling her hotel room “shake.”
She told The Mirror: “Myself & my daughter were woken at 1.51am after feeling the hotel room shake – at first we had no idea what it was both of us were feeling very anxious. My daughter Georgia googled earthquake only to find that there had been a 6.1 in the area. We have a car and decided to drive to hire ground after reading there was a possibility of a tsunami.”
