Canary Islands, Tsunami Fears, and Volcanic Activity
Experts are monitoring the Canary Islands following hundreds of recorded earthquakes, reviving fears that a volcanic eruption could cause a massive landslide. Such an event has been theorized to create a tsunami capable of reaching New York. The hosts note that similar warnings occurred in 2011 at El Hierro and discuss other volcanic risks at Mount Shasta and Mount Rainier.
A red alert was issued for the island of El Hierro in the Canary Islands following an underground volcanic eruption. Scientists have long predicted that a major collapse of the island could trigger a massive tsunami hitting the U.S. East Coast. The hosts jokingly suggest that the government is scouting property in West Virginia as a safe haven.
Canary Islands Volcano, El Hierro and Tidal Wave Predictions
Volcanic activity on the island of El Hierro in the Canary Islands has prompted evacuations. The hosts revisit an old prediction regarding the Canary Islands breaking off and causing a massive tidal wave, noting the "pre-alert" status of the regional government.
Following a 7.0 earthquake in Alaska, attention turns to increased seismic activity at El Hierro in the Canary Islands. Geologists have long warned that a shelf collapse at Cumbre Vieja could trigger a massive tsunami impacting the US East Coast. Recent reports indicate that seismic detection equipment was stolen in Tenerife, while West Virginia officials conducted exercises for large-scale coastal displacement.
