Someone asked earlier what to look for. To the best of my knowledge the North Atlantic doesn't have the tidal wave bowies that the Pacific has. I would bookmark live beach view from the Azores and the Bahamas. If you see the tidal wave hit the Bahamas, the East coast of the US has about 45 minutes, or less, depending on where you are...
what are we looking for in this photo?
The two pics are taken from the same location...see the road sign on the left. They're showing the pre-volcano and the current view.what are we looking for in this photo?

yesBefore and after?
indeedThat's a significant change in the landscape there!
Yes that's a new mountainIs that a wall of lava? A new mountain????

overnight.
Well, Hal has a tendency to jump, but he is referencing official info. Also he has misplaced the ridge that is the issue and shows it to be way south of where it is, which is north of the active vents.
However, having said that, the area that is lifting is a concern for sure.
Looking at the picture again, the Western coastal areas that have dropped 10cm is also a concern in that is a significant shifting of the island. Makes me wonder what is happening under the surface on the ocean floor. I think I will try to see if there is any sat radar imaging going on in the area... Hmmm
Did your geologist friend give a time frame?I've been watching the live streams and the lava streams and explosive ejections have increased in intensity quite a bit this afternoon (our time). Apparently the northern section of the island has risen by 10 to 15 centimeters today and the lower have has sunk by at least several centimeters.
Some of you may recall that I posted several days ago about a conversation I had with a geologist friend. At that time, he placed the odds of the lower western half of the island falling into the sea at 50-50. He called me this afternoon and has upped his personal odds to 60%.
That part of the island cleaving into the sea is what is predicted to cause the catastrophic tsunami which would take out the Eastern Seaboard and communities around the entire Gulf of Mexico.
Board members should keep a close eye on this. If it lets go, those in affected zones will have at least several hours to get to higher ground. I'm not predicting that this will happen, but if it does, you will only have a very narrow window of opportunity before the roads become parking lots.
DW and I are about fifty miles north of the GOM coast and are at approximately 250' above sea level. We're still considering our options, as our location is not - apparently - in critical danger, but who knows...

For the megatsunami, rock slide etc etc you need all of this stuff that is now happening in the middle and southern part of the island to MOVE NORTH.
If that starts to happen, and you can see the quakes increase in number, intensity and start to happen shallower and under the NORTHERN PART OF THE ISLAND, then Doc1 can hold his horses, cows, chickens or anything else he can get his paws on.
The volcanic eruption is not calming down as far as I can tell, but I will check with "my guy," diamond from Magnetic Reversal and see what is going on tonight.
It is not the Northern part that was ever said it was going to collapse/slide off.
Do you have a link that shows that is the part that was predicted to eventually slide/collapse? I have never seen one, but lots and lots showing the lower 2/3rds or Western section.
The ridge line in both of the documents, the dotted line in the first and red line in the second. That is where I saw that there was a fault. The largest mass of land that could slide is north of the current eruption. All of this is one environment that is affecting the rest of it. Now if the whole damn thing lets go it is going to be a big, big, problem.
