you are right and this el hierro thing is a really big deal. if you google it and put in today's date, you will get a local paper article (in spanish, which you can translate using google translate) that says they expect this thing to blow. but nothing in the new york times. and you have to ask yourself, if this thing blows, and if there is a huge tsunami producing landslide, even though there is a six hour window to warn new york city residents, will anybody bother? I mean, if it doesn't even hit the mainstream media, how do we know we will be told?

this is what leads me to ignore my huge workload and spend my day checking earthquakes and volcanoes. which has resulted in my grown children threatening to have me committed.
