Isn't this island regarded as the potential source of a rather large, east coast tsunami? Some sort of shelf of land, poised to slough off into the Atlantic?

"experts are worried that the mounting pressure could be released in a powerful blast."Yeah, I felt that way after eating in Bickford's.

There was a Mega Disasters program on THC concerning the island of La Palma in the Canaries. I don't know if Montserrat has the same charactaristics.

That's almost as bad as an SUV polluting our clean air.

Oh, dear.
This used to be such a beautiful little island - very Irish in flavor of all things (it was originally settled by the Irish). Very green and tropical. We stayed there several times at a tiny little hotel on the NW coast -- the Vue Pointe -- with a great beach and very nice staff.
I'm sorry they're having more trouble with the Soufriere . . . shades of Mt. Pelee and St. Pierre . . .

If you haven't seen it yet, go to Google maps and look up Montserrat. They don't have really high resolution images of the island, but the orange glow of the lava lake in the caldera is unmistakable...it was apparently caught mid-eruption.

That jokes getting a little old.

'There was a Mega Disasters program on THC concerning the island of La Palma in the Canaries." There is a new one now that disputes all those conclusions about the mega-tsunami aspect of La Plama.
" I don't know if Montserrat has the same charactaristics."
No. I'm not aware of any tsunami concerns from Monserrat.

No, no. Haven't you heard? It's now Pelosi's fault.

All of the carribean volcanoes have some danger of local damaging tsunamis from flank collapses, and it's happened before, but none pose a tsunami threat to the US mainland.
