Thanks TigerLikesRooster.
I wonder how the whole island fit in a coal mine.

Worries of a potential volcanic eruption have prompted Spanish authorities to evacuate residents and tourists on one of the Canary Islands. Thousands of tiny tremors have recently intensified, with the biggest one reaching a magnitude of 3.4, they said. The seismic activity indicates magma on the move. Info
Thousands of tiny earthquakes have rattled the island of El Hierro since this July. But recently the tremors have grown stronger, prompting concern from officials, who fear that a volcano on El Hierro, one of the Canary Islands, could be about to erupt.
On Wednesday, more than 50 residents and tourists staying at the base of the volcano were evacuated, and 11,000 locals nearby were advised to stock up on water, medicine and flashlights in case of an emergency.
Some 8,000 tremors have been registered on the island since July 19, according to the Spanish National Geographic Institute (IGN). Though most of the quakes occurred at sea and were too minor to be felt, they have been increasing in intensity, with one reaching a magnitude of 3.4 on the Richter scale early on Wednesday morning.

Thanks!
Not necessarily.
You’d have to consider the shape of their respective coastlines under the sea.
If Spain’s coastline under the ocean is deeper, than it’s tsunami would largely not approach shore.
Looks like Global Warming is gonna take another punch in the gut.
INDEED.
What’s your personal assessment of the Canary Islands situation, Sunken?
Seems to me it would depend on the size and suddenness of the landslide.
A sudden 500 cubic MILES slide would have some serious impact on the Eastern Seaboard it seems to me.
That much seems quite evident from the historic tsunami a hundred years ago or 3 from Japan all the way across the bigger Pacific to the Oregon/Pacific NW coast of the USA.
Well, I don’t want to sound stupid or anything, but is anybody doing anything about the little canaries??? Can they fly far enough to get to another one of the islands???
Check out the devastating tsunami from Japan all the way across the larger Pacific hitting the West Coast many years ago.
I think your assumptions are flawed as that example dramatically illustrates.
You are soooooo bad.
All I want to know is: will the wave be big enough to clean off #occupywallstreet?
We should send some soap for the hippy’s.
Hmmmmm
LOL.
You don’t think the monopolistic corrupt folks driving so many Wall Street disasters deserve to be shaken up wholesale, if not trotted off to prison?

I think the CSI Miami episode a few years ago had a much more plausible plot. They used a 30 foot tsnunami generated from that area as part of the action. That I think is a much more likely result of a landslide into the ocean.
This c shaped island bay faces toward La Palma and the section that might collapse into the ocean triggering a tsunami. The east coast would have ~ 6 hours.

I’m betting his handle comes from Repo Man:
“Miller: A lot o’ people don’t realize what’s really going on. They view life as a bunch o’ unconnected incidents ‘n things. They don’t realize that there’s this, like, lattice o’ coincidence that lays on top o’ everything. Give you an example; show you what I mean: suppose you’re thinkin’ about a plate o’ shrimp. Suddenly someone’ll say, like, plate, or shrimp, or plate o’ shrimp out of the blue, no explanation. No point in lookin’ for one, either. It’s all part of a cosmic unconciousness.
Otto: You eat a lot of acid, Miller, back in the hippie days?
Miller: I’ll give you another instance: you know how everybody’s into weirdness right now?... “
