iStock/Thinkstock(LONDON) — The Greek island of Kefalonia is starting to return to normal following a 5.9 magnitude earthquake on Sunday.
Some buildings and roads were damaged, but it seems the biggest impact the earthquake had was rattling the nerves of residents and visitors.
Euro News reported that employees at the island’s airport refused to return to the building to complete check-ins for passengers following the earthquake. Instead, passengers’ travel documents were checked outdoors before they boarded a flight for Athens.
Previously, the island suffered significant damage following a 1953 earthquake.
