From the article:
"Unfortunately, most media are driven by sensationalism and report about it as if there was strong evidence that such a partial collapse of La Palma could occur in the somewhat near future - including potential horror scenarios such as mega-tsunamis devastating the east coast of the US. Fortunately, there is no scientific evidence to support this picture. Like with other catastrophic events in nature (large asteroid impacts, super-volcano eruptions etc), they are first of all, extremely rare.
There is little to prevent them from happening, little to do against them, relatively little known about them, but from a pragmatic point of view, there is no reason to worry about them more than a 100 years ago, and currently no reason to believe we're in for one in the foreseeable future."

And so by the same reasoning no reason to believe we are not in for one. Yes? Did Puerto Rico see it coming? Just because it hasnt happened yet and we believe it will happen some day is no reason to say this isnt the day. The truth is nobody knows! (cept God). Second truth is nothing we can do! (but pray). And thank Him for what we do have at this point in time.
