The ones we have to worry about are on Vanuatu....some of the volcanoes there are spewing gas and ash right now and they're primed for a large eruption at some stage. Considering the type of volcanoes they are (Island Arc type....acidic volcanism), if one of them decided to do a Krakatoa or Tambora, we'd be in trouble. The tsunamis would hit our coast within a couple of hours...the reef would be no real protection. It might cut down on the initial severity of the tsunamis, but it wouldn't prevent the flooding from occurring.
