McGuire urged the governments of Spain and the United States to fund monitoring of the volcanically active La Palma — a project he said could be achieved relatively cheaply.
To what end really?

So we can spend millions watching out for something that we can't do anything about? What if we were monitoring it, and it happened? Then what?

1. Evacuate the entire eastern seaboard in 7-10 hours?
2. Drop a really big bomb in the ocean and disrupt it, ala Hollywood?
3. Give us extra time to stretch so we can kiss our own butts goodbye?

Between the "Big One" that will eventually sink the left coast, and now this, I'm starting to dig the Midwest even more.
