Santorini island, ironically situated less than 50 miles from the island of Patmos where John wrote the final book of the Bible, A Revelation is today the scene of its own apocalypse after more than 300 earthquakes have been recorded there in the last 48 hours. Some of the quakes have been quite powerful with magnitudes of 5+ in several cases. 

According to reports nearly 10,000 people have been evacuated from the island."Everything is closed. The whole island has emptied," an 18-year-old local resident told Reuters news agency before boarding the vessel. Local media reports around 6,000 people have left the island by ferry since Sunday, and a further 2,500 to 2,700 passengers will have flown from Santorini to Athens via plane on Monday and Tuesday, according to Aegean Airlines. The carrier said it had added nine emergency flights to its schedule following a request from the Ministry of Climate Crisis and Civil Protection. In recent days, an estimated 9,000 people in total have fled Santorini - a small island with a population of just 15,500. The island welcomes millions of tourists annually, but bookings this time of year are minimal, so local residents and workers make up the majority of evacuees.
