    Strong=δυνατός. 'Δυνατός σεισμός' is something you'd hear in Greek, I didn't know 'strong earthquake' was fine too!

      A strong or powerful earthquake is a more common expression that a big earthquake for obvious logical reasons.

        In Hellenistic Greek, can this also mean "big storm"?
