There have been lots of quakes in the Canary Islands lately.. and over the weekend, parts of the islands have reportedly been pushed up 4 inches..

Why should this matter to you? 

Maybe because of a mega-tsunami potential. That’s why.

There have been lots of quakes in the Canary Islands lately.. and over the weekend, parts of the islands have reportedly been pushed up 4 inches..

Canary rumblings.

The total population of La Restinga has now been evacuated… epicenter of seismic activity seems shifting toward the center of El Hierro.. Government raises alarm level to a red alert.. 

Evacuations amid a seabed volcano eruption..

And yes.. various rumors abound online of a big East Coast tsunami rolling after a big earth change in the Canaries.. the problem for me with this contention is that I have not, yet at least, heard any serious discussion about it besides crazed internet folks who regularly say the end is coming anyway. 

But… that doesn’t mean it can’t and won’t happen. And another reminder of how fragile the ground we walk on can so often be..

Canary shakes

Earthquakes continue in the Canary Islands.. government issues new warnings over potential El Hierro volcano.. The island was shaken late Saturday by a 4.3-magnitude quake// there have been more 4.0 s and above recently..
Surface deformations exceeding 35mm on the 280-sqkm island, where residents have been put on alert for a possible volcanic eruption.. officials have been working to tell the population of the area that a quake is not imminent..
There have been roughy ten thousands earthquakes in recent weeks in the island chain—and vast amounts of internet rumors that a mega-tsunami would form if there is a quake, a fact challenged by many. Hope we never find out for sure..
