Like the rest of the Canary Islands chain, El Hierro is sharply
mountainous and volcanic, only one eruption has ever been recorded on
the island from the Volcan de Lomo Negro vent in 1793. The eruption
lasted a month. - wiki

Due to be updated today some time:

Instituto Geográfico Nacional (IGN) reported more than 900 new seismic
events at Hierro during 20-26 September, five of them felt by
residents. The maximum magnitude recorded was 3.4.

The total number of located events had reached more than 8,100 since
the anomalous activity began on 16 July. The rates of both GPS
deformation and seismic energy release had significantly increased
during the previous seven days. On 23 September, the Canarian
Autonomous Government raised the Alert Code to Yellow.

There has to be a reason why there have been so few quakes greater
than 5 M. and almost no 6+ ones.

With all these hurricanes and all there should be a lot of "problems"
seismically.
Something to do with blocking in the upper atmosphere no doubt. But Ia
m not up to that ATM.
