Authorities on a mid-Atlantic Portuguese island hit by thousands of small earthquakes in recent days started evacuating people living at the bottom of coastal cliffs on Thursday.

Since Saturday, over 2 000 earthquakes, with a magnitude of between 1.6 and 3.3, have been recorded on the volcanic island of Sao Jorge in the Azores archipelago, according to the region’s CIVISA seismo-volcanic surveillance centre.

CIVISA has raised the volcanic alert to level 4 out of 5, meaning there is a “real possibility of eruption”, and said the number of earthquakes was above normal levels. The mayor of Velas, Luis Silveira, said on Wednesday plans to evacuate the rest of the population to Calheta or to other islands would only be activated if needed.
