Is this in the area of that island, excuse my ignorance, that will one day collapse and send a tsunami to destroy the U.S. east coast?

I vaguely remember, and this article seems to support that a collapse would generate far less of a tsunami and be much then originally feared. Not that any tsunami is good https://www.nzherald.co.nz/world/ca...-and-mega-tsunami/MEAOBU6BPNYO7QPCIWCNOHVU7A/

I do hope damage is kept to a minimum, if any at all.

We have been to this lovely island 3 times and would have gone again in June….if it wasn’t for the plague!

It’s a beautiful island with few tourist crowds, great for walking. This area where the volcano has gone off is so different in landscape to the green North….desolate but fabulous.

That article seems to predict waves of between 10 and 25m hitting the East coast of North America which won't do the coastal cities much good.

It says the original predictions were considerably worse.
