   BBC: What is happening in Santorini?

   ""It is really unprecedented, we have never seen something like this before in [modern times] in Greece," says Dr Athanassios Ganas, research director of the National Observatory of Athens.

   ....Experts say they're seeing many earthquakes within a relatively small area, which don't fit the pattern of a mainshock-aftershock sequence, says Dr Ganas....

   But what is happening now are not volcanic earthquakes, say Dr Ganas. Volcanic earthquakes have a characteristic signature of low frequency wave forms and these have not been exhibited here."

     ""I'm not afraid at all," says one Santorini resident, who decided to stay put on the volcanic island despite thousands of her neighbours fleeing amid the ongoing earthquakes.

     Chantal Metakides insists that she would not be joining her compatriots. "For 500 years, this house has lived through earthquakes and volcanic eruptions and it's still standing," she told AFP news agency, adding, "there's no reason why this should change"."

     *** First, the expert: "we've never seen this before, this doesn't fit any pattern we've seen... it's not a volcano" LOL
     *** then the resident: 500 years is a long time in human terms, but a mere blink of the eye in terms of the processes which drive earthquakes/volcanoes/tsunamis. Trying thinking 20,000 years

     "geological and radio dating indicate that major explosive events on Santorini are separated by more than 20,000 years time gap."
