activity picking up and news reports of glacier flood just starting

I was wondering when this would pop up. They were saying that it usually erupts within a year after Eyjafjallajokul, and I think its been about a year now.

But apparently Katla is 10x bigger.

been waiting also, had the Grímsfjall volcano go off a few months ago 1st though, looks like it's katlas turn now
been reading some blogs to keep up to date of the happenings

looks like it this was a small eruption not the big one just yet, maybe just reawakening we'll find out soon enough
so far caused a little damage with some roads and bridges knocked out
some pictures of the flood

What is the major significance of potential eruptions? What's the scale for damage? I imagine the expected result wouldn't be climatological problems for the area, but idk. Mostly infrastructure + maybe some nasty dust/ash fallout? or is there potential for a lot of civilian loss? idk the details of the "local" population and how bad the eruptions could be, but it sounds like it must be fairly big.
