Just like the plantations in the American South, they were taken from us too soon. I'm going to have to go back and read through the sixty-eight pages of this thread to see if we can blame this one on the niggers, too.
La Palma is rumbling - What are the implications of a 40 foot Tsunami along the east coast?

The population boom made Africa too heavy, and it's pushing the magma out.
Imagine dealing with earthquakes so much that you're no longer impressed.

I assume that these guys had permission to get as close as they did. Shades of Buster Keaton.

That's a great video, the rock is incredible.
Here's another video showing all of the ash. This guy's channel has a ton of great videos of La Palma as well

The National Geographic Institute has reported that this morning at 7:24h Canary time, there was an earthquake of magnitude 5.0, the highest recorded since the beginning of the eruption. (Source)
A new mapping is being carried out to calculate the amount of pyroclastic material emitted by the volcano. The scientific committee estimates that the figure will be between 80 and 100 million cubic meters. (Source) Compared to previous eruptions:
Tacande 1430-1447 (424 hectares)
Tehuya 1585 (338 hectares)
Tigalate 1646 (296 hectares)
San Antonio 1677-1678 (210 hectares)
Charco 1712 (441 hectares)
San Juan 1949 (323 hectares)
Teneguía 1971 (276 hectares)
La Palma 2021-? (More than 900 hectares at the moment)

Volcano's being messy again, and the wind isn't blowing the smoke and ash away.
Can all that nastiness get into the drinking water? I imagine it would mess up even the hardiest of filters.

It would be hard to predict exact death toll, but the issue is less that its "OMG BIG WALL OF WATUR! JUST LIKE INDOONESIA AND JAPANORINO!!!" and more to the fact that everywhere from Novo Scotia to Florida, most of the Atlantic-facing Antilles and even down to Venezuela & Guyanas are going to get hit by *something*.
While the "wall of water" racing 12-25 miles inland is extremely unlikely (if not outright impossible, depending on which oceanographers/geo- & hydro-physicists you believe) even in a "perfect collapse" scenario, even a series of 12-48 20m-45m waves breaking on the beaches & oceanside cities of the East Coast is going to cause a lot of damage, especially when it fucks with clean water supply, causes a short-term refugee crisis and looters be lootin'.
The biggest carnage would be in NW Africa, the other Canaries and Iberia, which are 1) closest to the point-blank epicenter of the tsunami with less ocean space to disperse the energy and 2) no shallow-water continental shelf to break up the wave force with an undular bore.
The real east coast doomer everyone seems to be hoping for would come from a slide or large enough earthquake on the Atlantic Continental shelf

I'm going to guess they are a University Geology team. They kind of have that look abojt them. Homeless Hobo fashion aesthetic but with high visibility gear mixed in.
Geology Hub put out another la Palma video. Which is a lot for him to cover on a single subject. He's talking about the Laval Fountains and Lava Bombs. Plus some info on the 5.0 Earthquake today. Which seems to be getting everyones attention.

Would it be a wall of water? Or would it be a large swell just like Japan?

Japan basically was a "wall of water".
Same thing with Indonesia, except Indonesia had like a 1 - 2 punch, with a smaller horizontal wave preceding a larger wave just seconds later.
Basically because the geography of the Atlantic Continental shelf, the unified force of the tsunami is disrupted, which causes a series of taller waves, but ones with less horizontal force & stability behind them.
Again, said waves would be destructive to anything right on the water but it's not the same scenario as Japan or parts of Indonesia.

Plus most of the US Atlantic Coast has a series of Barrier Beach Islands which would absorb the brunt of any Tsunami force. Anything on them would be wiped out. But will anybody care if we lose the Kennedy's, the Hampton's etc?. I mean it sucks for the people who live in the Rockaways and other places where normal people chose to live on the barrier beaches, but by and large it will wipe out rich annoying people that everyone hates.

I unironically care more about the endangered shorebirds and coastal rattlesnake populations on the uninhabited or lesser-developed barrier islands than I do coastal elites in their multi-million dollar beachfront properties.

The incorrigible wickedness of those same coastal elites is why we will be hit with the megatsunami to begin with. This world is wracked with cataclysms; the earth strains to shrug off the vampires. God is fed up with their shit. We must pray every day without ceasing for their utter destruction.

Hectares has nothing to do with cubic volume.
One is a measure of 2 dimensions, the other 3.
200 Hectares at 10 meters deep is a greater volume than 900 hectares at 1 meter deep. "Hectares" means nothing in comparing emissions.
But either way, this is a small eruption by reasonable standards thus far.

It is larger than any previously recorded for La Palma. It also seems to have a lot of staying power. In a slow steady creeping doom sort of way.

Smokier than a crack house on disability paycheck day, and ashier than a Harlem anime convention on the cams tonight. Seems to still be spouting shit, you can still see the occasional bomb, and the gas eruptions appear to still be going strong. I don't think this thing is anywhere near done, given all the cone building and the upsurge. Also, it's kinda fun to mildly tweak the AfarTv mods. I put the first half of that first sentence there and I got sent to youtube timeout.

It is nowhere near "larger than any previously recorded".
This island consists of of at least 1500 Cubic Km of rock and has most certainly had eruptions in the past that have gushed out more than a mere 0.1 cubic Km (what it currently is at give or take).
It would be more accurate to say most likely the largest eruption of very very recent times (meaning within the last 1000 years).
This eruption by any standard is a small scale eruption. Yes, it is spectacular to humans even on this scale, but in geological terms, it is a pimple.
