Yes, sorry about that. My broadband's down at the moment and that post was sent from my wife's phone. Anyway, Wilk's kindly posted the clip.

Was impressive! But not as impressive as the La Palma one will be, when/if it happens.

Is that why you own a rib, because if it does go you might have a waterfront condo

We could all moor up at Andys place for BBQs

Were about as high as you can get above Sea level in our area Pete. I take it you'll be floating over for the BBQ? Any orders?

I'll need about 10m of waterfront, but anyone else can tie up alongside me as those funny squashy things round your boats should act like a fender.

What are those toob things for anyway? they don't seem to touch the water

Update

Turns out it was not a chance recording but more an expert doing his job. A geologist filmed this whilst at work expecting it to happen.

Still amazing though!
