The electric field of the Earth registered by three monitoring sites (ATH, PYR, HIO) located in Greece, is investigated and analyzed after the occurrence of the Methoni EQ (14th of February, 2008, Ms =6.7R). The period of analysis is performed for 2 days (21st-22nd of February) and 7 days after the occurrence of the main seismic event. The obtained results suggest that the seismogenic area generates electrical signals denoting a specific epicentral area. This area coincides with the already seismically activated area. An estimate for the time of occurrence of this EQ is made by the application of the Oscillating Lithospheric Plate Model. The analysis of the seismic potential of the regional area suggests that the remaining stored seismic energy is capable of producing a large earthquake in the same area. The expected maximum magnitude (Ms) of a future earthquake which could take place in the same seismogenic area is estimated as Ms = 7.24R by the application of the Lithospheric Seismic Energy flow model.
