If it blows like Krakatoa it would swamp NYC and Philly, and Baltimore.

Boston, Fla ... any place along the Atlantic coast below 2,000 ft above sea level, depending on wave height.

Its a basalt volcano ; they are not explosive - like the Hawaiian sort. The danger comes from the already slipping land on the east side of the island. The linear crack is over 10 feet deep in places, maybe more now. That mass sliding into the water will create a wave like Lituya Bay.

That’s an interesting read...thanks for posting.

From link:
Lituya Bay’s steep walls, the geometry of its seafloor, and the fact that it intersects a fault that is often a source of earthquakes suggests that Lituya Bay will see more tsunamis in the future. After scrutinizing the bay’s geology and history for years, one scientist calculated giant waves happen there once every quarter century—a 1 in 9000 chance on any given day. The threat from the tidal currents that thwarted La Pérouse is more constant. Since the 1958 wave...

 

 

Seems like we are way past due for one! or two!!
