00:01welcome to a new episode of your show was sayer al-awal an earthquake struck a little while ago
00:15a new earthquake just hit morocco now actually not just a little while ago
00:21by the time you're watching this episode it will have already happened
00:28the earthquake struck about half an hour ago it was a mild earthquake with a magnitude of about three
00:35on the richter scale its epicenter was the city of benimelal which is roughly in the northwest of
00:46morocco people generally felt this earthquake in benimelal and maybe some people felt it in the
00:54cities of kenifra and sapat and a few also felt it in marrakesh
01:03since the earthquake was mild on the richter scale and was at a relatively great depth about
01:1085 kilometers below the surface this means it was mild and deep
01:18the result is that only a very small number of people in kenifra benimelal sapat and marrakesh
01:24actually felt this earth but what matters to me is should we be afraid yeah kind of
01:35the earthquake struck at around 1 pm morocco time today friday as we said it was at the depth of
01:4485
01:44kilometers below the surface is this earthquake significant
01:52that that's what matters to me i had already warned about this earthquake and i said three days ago and
01:59four days ago since the dangerous earthquake swarm began it is hitting spain especially the city of
02:06granada our people in algeria and our people in morocco have been affected there have been light and
02:13moderate earthquakes and i told some people exactly light earthquakes moderate earthquakes will hit morocco
02:19primarily and then algeria secondarily for a clear reason granada is close to the moroccan border you
02:29know the alboran sea is only in the mediterranean sea it's the divider between granada and northern
02:35morocco and the distance is relatively small so it's it's natural for the seismic energy to transfer or
02:42for there to be an effect from the earthquake swarm or tremors that's what they are when it hits spain
02:48it has a direct effect on morocco it has a direct effect for seeing light tremors
02:55in morocco and algeria and it also has an indirect effect so if a strong earthquake hits spain
03:03if its magnitude is more than 5.5 its effects will reach and be felt by our people in the
03:10moroccan
03:10cities in northern morocco especially those directly overlooking the mediterranean sea or the alboran sea
03:19let's stay reassured based on the current data only light
03:23or moderate earthquakes or moderate earthquakes are expected ahmad al dhura with the show sayer program
03:28stay safe
