And just in case anyone wants to keep an eye on a real time spectrograph from a working station on Tenerife, the island next door to La Palma, you can watch that here:

The station is at the bottom right of the last panel.

Since this station is about 80km away from the quake swarm at La Palma, it is only showing the larger 3+ quakes. However, if the flank collapsed, there is no question this would be visible in the form of a lot of low red on the spectro. This is live data in real time, and there will be no faster notification of a massive landslide at La Palma.
