Tsunami could strike UK at any moment, scientist warns

TSUNAMI TIME BOMB: Top scientist warns KILLER WAVE could hit UK – at ANY MOMENT

Dr Simon Day said a huge landslide at an increasingly unstable volcano in the Canary Islands could send the huge wave speeding hundreds of miles across the Atlantic to the UK.

A volcanic eruption in the Canaries could spark the devastating incident

This collapse would create a huge tsunami, which would spread across all sides of the Atlantic, including towards the UK and Ireland. 

Dr Day said: “It could be several metres high, it depends where you are and how much energy the wave has. 

The natural disaster expert at the University College London told Express.co.uk the disastrous event is becoming increasingly likely - and urged Theresa May to prepare before it is too late. 

He said the Cumbre Vieja volcano in the Canaries archipelago was becoming increasingly fragile, and an eruption could send a chunk of land the size of the Isle of Man crashing into the sea. 

The Lisbon Earthquake of 1755 caused the deaths of up to 100,000 people in the Portuguese city - and also sent a tsunami of around three metres high to the UK and Ireland.
