Lots of shaking going on.... not good for the East Coast (of the US)
HIERRO
Canary Islands (Spain) 27.73°N, 18.03°W; summit elev. 1500 m
Instituto Geográfico Nacional (IGN) reported that during 14-20 December the
submarine eruption continued S of El Hierro Island. During the beginning of the
week, high-amplitude pulses were registered in the tremor signal every 5-10
minutes. On 15 December there were two long pulses around 7 minutes each, and
after the second one the mean tremor amplitude values remained similar to those
of previous weeks.
Six seismic events were located during this period, both offshore to the N
and inland, at depths between 3 and 22 km. GPS deformation data analyses showed
stability in the horizontal components and deflation in the vertical
component.

Scientists Warn Of Massive
Tidal Wave From
Canary Island VolcanoQuote:
A computer model has been designed to show the way the tsunami will build after the volcano, called Cumbre Vieja, erupts on La Palma, at the western end of the Spanish island chain. It describes the almost unimaginable scale of an event that the scientists say could happen at any time within the foreseeable future.
Aside from Cumbre Vieja, there are other volcanos erupting in the Canary Islands, and accompanying tremors are almost constant. Worth watching....
Quote:
The scientists are calling for better warning instruments to be placed on La Palma so that an impending eruption can be detected quickly enough to alert other areas that might be affected by a tsunami.
"Cumbre Vieja needs to be monitored closely for any signs of impending volcanic activity and for the deformation that would precede collapse. The collapse will occur during some future eruption after days or weeks of precursory deformation and earthquakes," Dr Day predicted.
"An effective earthquake monitoring system could provide advanced warning of a likely collapse and allow early emergency management organisations a valuable window of time in which to plan and respond," he said.
Of course, a major eruption could be decades or more away, or sooner.....
