The main risk is the big piece of rock which is expected to fall

Apparently a tsunami hit the west coast of Ireland in 1775 ? after
a
seismic event near the Azores and Canaries causing some
considerable
damage..
A recent article I read somewhere said that if the predicted bit of
La Palma
falls off in one slab the resulting tsunami will lead to the
disappearance
of the Isles of Scilly (among other damage!)
As well as New York
