‏ Revelation of John 16:18

And there were ( κα εγενοντο ). "And there came" (same verb ginomai). See 8:5; 11:19 for this list of terrible sounds and lightnings, and for the great earthquake ( σεισμος μεγας ) see 6:12; 11:13 (cf. Lu 21:11).

Such as was not ( οιος ουκ εγενετο ). Qualitative relative with γινομα again, "such as came not."

Since there were men ( αφ' ου ανθρωπο εγενοντο ). "Since which time ( χρονου understood) men came."

So great an earthquake, so mighty ( τηλικουτος σεισμος ουτω μεγας ). Quantitative correlative τηλικουτος rather than the qualitative τοιουτος, to correspond with οιος (not οσος ). And then ουτω μεγας repeats (redundant) τηλικουτος. Cf. Mr 13:19 for οια--τοιαυτη about like tribulation ( θλιψις ).
