You're correct. I edited my post. The newscaster misspoke. The Cyprus Embassy and the Cyprus Visa Offices are within 5 miles of the blast.They said the island. 149 miles away.In this case, Cyprus is a city about 5 miles from Beirut.I heard it was even felt in Cyprus.Reports are coming in that it was felt 100 miles away.
