Still, there is no way that a volcano with that much force exists...


Oh, are we forgetting the fact THAT THE BLOODY CANARIES ARE NEXT TO AFRICA???

I highly doubt that even if there was a huge wave, it would go in a 360° path, spreading up towards France, right to Africa, and in a left diagonal path to Florida and the Carribbean...

As you were saying, I just read this in this the news about the tsunami that just hit.

Around the world, seismologists debated whether to issue tsunami warnings — but no mechanisms existed to get out the word. And unlike the Pacific rim, where tsunamis are a regular threat, there were no special buoys to provide an early warning in the Indian Ocean. The last major tsunami to hit the region was in 1883, when the Krakatoa volcano erupted.

Told you so!

The reason this one would be different, GrG, is because La Palma would split in two when the volcano erupted. It would split and fall into the ocean, it's like dropping a pebble in a pond and looking at the shock wave. Imagine that times by over a million.
All this was on the news a few months ago. It's highly unlikely it'll happen anytime soon.

I've been to Gran Canaria (the biggest Canary Isle) it's a lovely place. I loved it so much, I've been there three times now. I've heard it's the best climate on the planet, I certainly agree.

Monaco is the best place on the earth, beleive me...

I enjoyed Manaco but I still prefer the whole Island thing. The only time I have been to Gran Canaria though I was only 8 and my parents did not let me enjoy it much.

Just a minor point... we are talking about several trillions of tons, so it's far more than "a million times over". How many pebbles in ton? Let's say a million... Then multiply that by several trillion. It's an unimaginonably large number... as in something on the order of...

6,000,000,000,000,000,000 x a pebble.

LOL - it's a proven fact this HAS HAPPENED many times in the past.

[DerAdlerIstGelandet]

It has been documentented and recorded throughout history.

[plan_D]

Didn't I say OVER A MILLION TIMES, not a million times over.
