Santorini, Greece. Some residents and tourists are choosing to evacuate from the island of Santorini after a series of strong earthquakes.
After a swarm of more than 200 earthquakes, authorities advise caution. (edited to sound less alarming)

Some people were evacuated. The tremors are tectonic, rather than volcanic.
People are advised to avoid the beaches and shoreline. In the case of a tsunami, residents are advised to head inland to higher ground. Schools are closed.

@EugestShirley It's amazing, and maybe fortunate, that this is ramping up over time... i.e. if you want to get out, you can. Versus your house getting thrown off a cliff, etc. (or really... no one can say for SURE there's not magma moving around down there)

@ai6yr
I hope it calms down without either a bigger quake or an eruption.
Quakes do make people nervous. We like to believe in terra firma.

@EugestShirley Oh yeah, definitely don't need either, the human suffering would be terrible either way.
