#7   The danger is a massive landslide on the southeast end that would spawn a massive tsunami that would eventually reach our Atlantic coast.

That's a problem?

#6  Not just LaPalma. Go on Google Earth or even Google Maps satellite view and look at the flanks around various volcanic islands. A lot of them show very large pieces of debris around them. This debris came from flank collapses of these islands. Oahu at one time was much larger until the north side of the island suffered such a collapse. One chunk of debris was that to be a seamount until surveyed and it was actually found to be actual debris. The two single largest natural disasters that could befall the United States outside of an asteroid impact are Yellowstone and a major flank collapse of the island of Hawaii. Of course Yellowstone or Hawaii would effect far more nations than the US

#5  The real issue with LaPalma is not the volcano - bad as it is. The danger is a massive landslide on the southeast end that would spawn a massive tsunami that would eventually reach our Atlantic coast.
