And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.

Now it's La LAVA flow on Palma, the Canary Islands. Watch out below!
The Canary Islands are volcanic in origin, so this isn't too unexpected. I remember reading a few years ago: One of the islands - I think it's this one, La Palma, the westernmost - has a large fault bisecting the island that is thought to be questionably stable. If it were to fail, and a large piece of the island were to slide into the ocean, the resulting tsunamis could wipe out the Caribbean, Florida, Bahamas, etc.
and they talk about the "Ring of Fire" in the Pacific: it appears that we have a "Ring of Fire" in the Atlantic as well
