One of the stations at GIMPA recorded this event so we can confirm that it was a small earthquake. For the magnitude, we have only one of our station\u2019s data but it tells us that the magnitude is not up to 5, it is somewhere a little above 4 so we are going to some of our other stations to retrieve data then we can have enough data, analyze it and give the exact magnitude and location of this earth tremor.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>While indicating that there were adequate signals that an earthquake was imminent, he said there is the need for preparation to avoid surprise.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>The small ones also happen very frequently but the big ones don\u2019t happen frequently. The small ones [tremors], when they happen frequently, give an indication that there is a big one [earthquake] there that may happen in the future. It is a signal that we have to prepare for so that we are not taken by surprise.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Some of the residents took to social media to share experiences of Sunday\u2019s earth tremor.<br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-466703 disappear mom_appear\" src=\"https:\/\/citinewsroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/Earth-Tremor-3.jpg\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 527px) 100vw, 527px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/citinewsroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/Earth-Tremor-3.jpg 527w, https:\/\/citinewsroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/Earth-Tremor-3-300x246.jpg 300w\" alt=\"\" width=\"527\" height=\"432\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-466701 disappear mom_appear\" src=\"https:\/\/citinewsroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/Earth-tremor.jpg\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 482px) 100vw, 482px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/citinewsroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/Earth-tremor.jpg 482w, https:\/\/citinewsroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/Earth-tremor-300x107.jpg 300w\" alt=\"\" width=\"482\" height=\"172\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-466709 disappear mom_appear\" src=\"https:\/\/citinewsroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/Earth-tremor3.jpg\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 466px) 100vw, 466px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/citinewsroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/Earth-tremor3.jpg 466w, https:\/\/citinewsroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/Earth-tremor3-300x122.jpg 300w\" alt=\"\" width=\"466\" height=\"190\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-466700 disappear mom_appear\" src=\"https:\/\/citinewsroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/Earth-tremor2.jpg\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 490px) 100vw, 490px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/citinewsroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/Earth-tremor2.jpg 490w, https:\/\/citinewsroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/Earth-tremor2-300x139.jpg 300w\" alt=\"\" width=\"490\" height=\"227\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-466702 disappear mom_appear\" src=\"https:\/\/citinewsroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/Earth-tremor1.jpg\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 495px) 100vw, 495px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/citinewsroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/Earth-tremor1.jpg 495w, https:\/\/citinewsroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/Earth-tremor1-300x43.jpg 300w\" alt=\"\" width=\"495\" height=\"71\" \/><\/p>\n<p>A similar incident occurred in March 2018 with residents experiencing the tremor as many as three times within a day.<\/p>\n<p>\u2013<\/p>\n<p>Source: Citinesroom.com<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Ghana\u00a0Geological Survey Authority (GGSA) has warned Ghanaians to brace themselves for a possible earthquake following the earth tremor which hit some parts of Accra on Sunday.
