Rain is filling up vertical water reservoirs in the mountains of the Canaries. THe reservoirs are caused by vertical strata (well, you know what I mean) of impervious rock - lava from previous eruptions. When water pressure exceeds cohesion, the side of the mountain falls off. THat's the theory. The date, however, is a matter of geological timing, when the next second and about a million years are both "soon".
