Wrong Canary Island. That island is La Palma. This is Hierro.
There is a possibility that a seismic disturbance could cause that fault line to let go, dropping half the island into the ocean and generating a large tsunami.
The tsunami science generalhy believes the threat of a massive tsunami on the East Coast of the US from La Palma is BS.
The promotor of the La Palma landslide/giant East Coast tsunami idea is a handful of scientists, lead by one, Simon Day, who I think has let all his appearances on crappy cable science disaster documentaries go to his head.
Unfortunately said crappy documentaries do not give a balanced view, because they're all about neat-o computer animations of a 150 foot wave sweeping over the Statue of Liberty.
Lesson is: don't get your science education from cable TV.
Does this mean I shouldn’t build a tall wall along the east side of my property in Arizona?

Or National Geographic. I quit as a member after they tilted left. 35 years a member.
Because, of course, a violent volcanic eruption on one island could never adversely affect the geology of a nearby island.
I believe that your reply to me should have been addressed to user Flag_This, in their post number 25, as that was the person who’s line you italicized in your post.
You mean like the Weather Channel? They were even showing a fashion show the other night hosted by one of the on-camera meteorologists.
