>La Palma is currently the most volcanically active island in the Canary Islands Archipelago. It is likely that several eruptions would be required before failure would occur on Cumbre Vieja.[21][22] However, the western half of the volcano has an approximate volume of 500 cubic kilometres (120 cu mi) and an estimated mass of 1.5 trillion metric tons (1.7×1012 short tons). If it were to catastrophically slide into the ocean, it could generate a wave with an initial height of about 1,000 metres (3,300 ft) at the island, and a likely height of around 50 metres (164 ft) at the Caribbean and the Eastern North American seaboard when it runs ashore eight or more hours later. Tens of millions of lives could be lost in the cities and/or towns of St. John's, Halifax, Boston, New York, Baltimore, Washington, D.C., Miami, Havana and the rest of the Eastern Coasts of the United States and Canada, as well many other cities on the Atlantic coast in Europe, South America and Africa.[21][22] The likelihood of this happening is a matter of vigorous debate.[24]

How would it hit Baltimore? Would it come up Chesapeake?
God if this were to happen while I was at the outer banks this summer is be completely fucked. A wave that big would destroy the entire area. Maybe I could hop on my John boat and head far enough out into the sound to survive.

Pretty sure God doesn't plan to leave east coast liberals unpunished for much longer.

Imagine what it would do to NYC? That would be devastating. The edgy teenager in me kind of wants it to happen though.

>nobody has time for sjw bullshit anymore
Please kek make it so
What the hell would a 3000 foot wave even look like. That's just beyond imagination.

What about Yellowstone?
>>70946242
A big dark wall of water moving closer and closer. A bit before the water swallows you the darkness does first
>>70946561
Yellowstone could erupt now or in another 100,000 years it is a non issue
