You just wait, man, just wait...

If Katla blows we could be in big shit. In 1783 it killed 10000 people in Europe with its ash and caused it to be winter for a whole year. Read the other thread on Volcano's.
Even if the wind changed it would not matter as the ash has reached the Jet Stream.

USGS wrote:Scientists say 2010 is not showing signs of unusually high earthquake activity. Since 1900, an average of 16 magnitude 7 or greater earthquakes — the size that seismologists define as major — have occurred worldwide each year. Some years have had as few as 6, as in 1986 and 1989, while 1943 had 32, with considerable variability from year to year.

With six major earthquakes striking in the first four months of this year, 2010 is well within the normal range. Furthermore, from April 15, 2009, to April 14, 2010, there have been 18 major earthquakes, a number also well within the expected variation.

Here's what the USGS have to say:

Didn't you imply in another thread that these upheavals are the sign of the Great Old Ones preparing to walk the Earth once more?

Thanks for that link, I've bookmarked it to watch what happens.
What are the dangers if the second volcano does erupt?

wiki wrote:...The last major eruption occurred in 1918, although there may have been a couple small eruptions that did not break the ice cover: one in 1955[1] and another 1999[2]. Since 930, 16 eruptions have been documented. The Eldgjá canyon is part of the same volcanic system.[3][4] It is thought that Katla is the source of the Vedde Ash (more than 6 to 7 cubic kilometers (1.4 to 1.7 cu mi) of tephra dated to 10,600 years BP)[1][5][6][7] found at a number of sites including Norway, Scotland and North Atlantic cores. The last eruption in 1918 resulted in extending the southern coast by 5 km due to laharic flood deposits. The present volcanic repose since 1918 is among the longest known in historic times.[8]....
