While this wasn't meant for me, it is worth noting that, when I read this, my initial response (in my head) was, "it's hot there". 😛 

Anyway, carry on. I too, an interested in hearing smash's response....

An erupting volcano can trigger tsunamis, flash floods, earthquakes, mudflows and rockfalls. More than 80% of the earth's surface is volcanic in origin. The sea floor and some mountains were formed by countless volcanic eruptions. Gaseous emissions from volcano formed the earth's atmosphere.

I'm on Gran Canaria, 250 km away, so we're safe. But around 100 houses have been damaged and 5000 people are evacuated. Luckily, no lives have been lost! I wrote a post about it here:

The locals have a weird sense of humor, too. The fake news about mega tsunamis have been illustrated by canarians on surf boards on their way to New York (any such tsunami is extremely unlikely to happen!) and todays joke is about how someone went a bit overboard with their BBQ party this weekend. They are also sharing images of the lava fight from Star Wars. Gotta love how they handle stuff like this. When we had a sand storm it was camels in the desert but with local road signs.

Oh, I'm not worried in the slightest either. The mega disaster stuff is always overkill. And the crazy talk, here, in the USA of a tsunami that wipes out the Eastern coast is, as you said, "extremely unlikely to happen". Still, I find volcanoes to be fascinating, and I hope that those nearby stay safe. Melted rock is nothing to trifle with. 😉 Hot stuff indeed!
