And a mere matter of months since that hilarious Brexit Diana Moment when all the too cool for skool kidz were going to wash their hands of the lumpenproletariat and bugger off to Oz.
Still here then? Thought so.

... despite all the UK tabloids suggesting Mount Teide may be about to blow
https://www.thelocal.es/20161005/dont-panic-tenerife-insists-volcano-isnt-about-to-erupt
'In recent days a series of mini-quakes have been detected by seismologists on the island hitting south west of Mount Teide, the volcano that dominates the skyline of the Canary Islands.
Around 100 mini-quakes were recorded within 12 hours on Sunday.
Although equipment recorded at least 100 quakes during Sunday none of them were strong enough to be felt by people on the surface so islanders were perplexed at headlines in British tabloids warning of "panic" that the volcano was about to blow.
But while the seismic activity was largely ignored in the Spanish press, The Daily Express, The Sun and The Mirror all ran sensationalist stories warning holidaymakers of an imminent eruption.'
I'm detecting a bit of a trend here - Unusual earthquake warning prompts action, anxiety in Southern California
Lava moving under the volcanoe (as above) causes tremors.That does not mean that it will erupt.Look at Yellowstone and the mini quakes they get.
On the other hand it may mean it will erupt.Science is great,there is always an answer.
Look at a satelite image of La Palma and you can see on the western side of the island a massive area that slipped into the sea and left a concave area towards the central part of that island.The same on Teneriffe but the eastern side and Gran Canaria has been hit by a tidal wave in the past as sea floor debris has been found about 500 to 1000 feet up on that islands western flank.
I seem to recall that the Bahamas which are on the other side of the Atlantic have some erratic rocks which are not coral (as the islands are) and it is believed the were deposited by giant sunamis in the past.

That is THE biggie. If/when that blows, and I believe it blows every few hundred thousand years, it will mean bye bye to much of our civilisation.

Maybe the illegal boat people issue return tickets?
No because in those days they were drowned at birth rather than by tidal waves. Or if nobility given a rather extreme form of colonic irrigation, with a hot poker.
