I'm not sure which forum this should go in ... since the main/general forum is locked down, but I just want to alert our friends on the East Cost of the U.S. that there's likely an impending eruption on La Palma ... one of the Canary islands off Western Africa.  If a chunk of that island were to fall off as a result, it could conceivably lead to a major tsunami off the Eastern cost of the US (and in other places as well).

Good to know.  People on the East Coast don't normally think about the possibility of tsunamis.

It's anyone's guess.  Currently there has been an earthquake swarm at La Palma, getting more and more shallow, suggesting that magma is working its way up.

IF there's an eruption (it's not certain but appears increasingly likely), depending on how violent, a part of the island could break off, creating a tsunami that would reach the East Coast of the U.S.  It would reportedly take 7-9 hours to make its way across the Atlantic.

So there's a worst-case scenario which could see a 30-meter tsunami hit the East Coast, and others just a few meters.  Nevertheless, even a few-meter one would really hit the US ports hard and would result in even more supply chain problems that they're already engineering for us.

New York gets wiped off the map by tsunamis in many disaster movies.  There can certainly be serious storm surges on the East coast, ie. Hurricane Sandy.  In the 1938 hurricane, people were washed, in parts of houses across the Great South Bay in NY and Narragansett Bay in Cape Cod, the lucky ones, that is.  New Haven CT had over 300 fatalities in the downtown area, from drowning.  In a recent storm, aftermath of Hurricane Ida, at least 10 New Yorkers drowned as they slept in their basement apartments.
If the entire Ring of Fire were to go up, the East coast would be no more.  In certain cities, that might not be a bad thing!  NYC and Philadelphia could use a good cleaning, and a tsunami could do what Trump couldn’t, drain the swamp!

I live on the East Coast. If a tsunami came and killed all of us, I would consider it a mercy.

Hey, there's a thought.  Maybe I'll come visit you when it's imminent.
