El Hierro (Canary Islands) Volcano Waking Up?
2012-07-03
Nearly continuous earthquakes about 20km under El Hierro Island in the Canaries. This is about 6 months after the end of a moderate offshore eruption but this time is different. Over the past few days most of the island has deformed upwards 9 to 10 centimeters, much more deformation at a much faster rate than before and during the previous eruption. Residents are reporting nearly constant shaking, booms, and rumbling. The largest quakes so far have been in the M4 range. Government officials are keeping a nervous eye on the situation.

#4  That slide-generated tsunami would have a wave-length measured in kilometers and a peak of several meters. Yes, it would inundate most of the east coast.

#2  Not good if this particular hot spot erupts in a major way. Could result in large chunks (yeah, that's a geological term, too) of the island falling into the Atlantic.

Tsunamis with major areas of the New World's eastern seaboard under water, etc.
