The nature article (of course) comes with the warnings that landslides will increase because of global warming. No evidence was provided, just a blanket statement.You can get a massive Tsunami from just a landslide.

Yes, of course. Don't you know that the angle of repose of dirt changes drastically with a half a degree temperature change ?
Haven't you ever seen a pile of dirt melt in the hot summer sun like an ice cream cone ?

And they wonder why people don't take their warnings seriously ?

Haven’t you heard all of the scientific community is in consensus. Your obviously a flat earther

With any luck, maybe next week when I'm in Weehaukin, NJ
More recent updates posted at the bottom of this running story.
Sounds like it's still progressing. There's supposed to be some sort of meeting with local authorities telling residents to pack up bags and be ready on standby in case they have to evacuate.

Why isn't the usgs website that lists earthquakes globally magnitude 2.5+ showing any activity on their map?

About 60 miles as the crow flies from the coastline.
If a tsunami hits here, y'all better build the ark and start loading 2x2.

Earthquakes ease on Spain's La Palma as volcano alert remains
A surge in seismic activity on the Spanish Canary Island of La Palma has slowed in the past day but could return at any moment, authorities said on Friday, as they kept almost half the island's population on yellow alert for an eruption.

La Palma on volcano alert after seismic activity eases
Scientists worry a volcano may erupt on the Spanish Island of La Palma.In recent days, nearly 400 million cubic feet of magma have seeped into the Cumbre Vieja national park, south of the island.And i...
Today's updates are sounding interesting. My uneducated opinion is its trending towards an imminent eruption.
There was a 4.0 near surface earthquake and there is increasing surface bulging deformation from magma building underneath

Another update. Scroll to most recent update for Sunday morning and there are pictures that appears to show the land may be in the early stages of fracturing and splitting
Looks like it might be starting to erupt

Yikes! Good thing Utah is hydrophobic.

Volcano started at 3:15pm ... 10:15am EST and has now 7 cracks/cones blasting ash and rocks in the air. 5k people have been evacuated from the surrounding villages and they might have to evacuate a close by town of 35k people depending on whether the lava rivers divert towards that location or new cracks start on the mountain side. But according to the local news the initial high volume is a good thing as the volcano becomes more predictable than those in the past and other islands more prone to huge sudden explosions.
They are evacuating livestock, and people fast as the lava rivers will swallow the mountain side roads and whoever doesn't leave might be cut off.
The volcano live in the area of Cumbre Vieja park....

Volcano Erupts on Atlantic Island; Lava Destroys Some Homes
A volcano on Spain's Atlantic Ocean island of La Palma erupted Sunday after a weeklong buildup of seismic activity, prompting authorities to evacuate thousands as lava flows destroyed isolated houses and threatened to reach the coast.

Well, if that chunk of land was going to fall into the ocean, I would think that it would of at the start when the magma turned all the collected rain water into steam.

In the first post, the updates link, there is mention of Mt St Helens and how the eruption went on for weeks before the side of the mountain blew off

Decreased experts say.
It is good news initially but with mother nature there is nothing 100% for sure.
Experts are always great when things go well, like those wall st investors but when the thing goes caput, they are nowhere to be found for answers.

I am going to give it 20 to 40 days based on the islands average.

Holy Crap! “LAZE” is a new term to me, and sounds horrible. As described in the link:
“According to data, the temperature of the lava has risen to 1,100 ºC and experts fear that when it comes into contact with the water, it will release a large amount of toxic gases (known as LAZE) that will flood the island of La Palma, killing everything that breathes it in. The fact it is moving more slowly will be a benefit for the rate they are produced.
LAZE
Laze — or lava haze — is the dense cloud of glass shards and hydrochloric acid created when basaltic lava enters into the ocean.
The shards and acid are enough to damage your lungs severely. The glass, formed in the heat of the lava, solidifies when it instantly cools in the ocean water, and then floats in the air. When it is breathed in, the tiny shards of glass begin slicing-up your lungs from the inside. Death soon follows as victims drown on their own blood from the countless cuts on the inside of their lungs.”

Thank God for covid. Because of it, all those Islanders are wearing masks and will be unaffected by the laze.
And if they die? Just more covid deaths of course.

Well, I'm literally just feet from the water tonight
Even though I'm on the 8th floor, it's not going to be high enough
