Nikki Kitsantonis covers Greece for The Times, where the island of Santorini has been rocked by near-constant earthquakes since the end of January.

Others think it may be leading up to a massive earthquake that could potentially even set off volcanic eruptions nearby. Nikki says the uncertainty has driven nearly all of the island's 15,000 year-round residents to evacuate.
