So I take it you haven\'t head of the rock outcrop island near the Canaries then?

Yeah I heard about that, the big rock shelf on La Palma in the Canaries that\'ll send a bulldozing monster of a wave towards the American coasts as well as European coasts, when it slides off. But horribly destructive as it is, I don\'t see it as an extinction level event. If the Yellowstone caldera explodes with the magnitude they predict it will, we\'ll all be dead one way or another.

But for an extinction level event, I\'d still put my money on the supervolcano Tongue
