Is Yellowstone going to blow?

What area of the country do you live in?
If you don't live within 300 miles of Yellowstone, you will be one of the people who will have to deal with the snowing ash.

I disagree. That thread doesn't reference the article in the OP.

I bet Yogi Bear is getting worried.

With any luck the next big asteroid hit will be right on top of it, that way it'll give us two less things to worry about

SUPER VOLCANO

Which we can do as much about as the sun swallowing the earth.

 

While we might not be able to stop it, if we could get a sense of when it's going to blow then we might in theory minimize the damage.

 

It's probaby a good thing just to be on the safe side to put up a sign in the middle of Yellowstone Lake stating: 'Watch Out For Broiled Fish Floating On The Surface'. That should tell you that something's up.

this isn't far from where I grew up. It was also from a volcanic explosion and most of the animals died. They said some died from starvation, but it seems to me they would have died from dehydration first.
Doe sash float on the water or sink?

 

Toba the largest supervolcano could still surprise us again someday too. If both Yellowstone and Toba ever went off again in the same century, then expect the feds. to lower the prime rate again.

 

i am gonna say BOTH. the majority will slowly sink with some residual floating on the surface. i was watching the science guy - there is my imitation.

Good post.

 

1. People don't need encouragement to panic.
2. Panic sells newspapers and so is good for newspaper proprietors.

 

Is the Yellowstone Supervolcano About To Blow?
"Apparently, Yellowstone National Park has been having a very unusual number of earthquakes. Many of the most recent tremors have been deeper underground, an ominous sign. Combine that with a rapid rise in elevation over the past three years, and the possibility that earthquake activity from surrounding areas could trigger such an eruption on its own, and you've got the possible warning signs of a supervolcano eruption that would wipe out half to 2/3 of the continental US, plunge global temperatures, and wipe out a very significant chunk of world food sources. Here's a little more info to make your New Year brighter!"

Seems a lot of people are talking about this.

On a side note.. wanna keep a backup of the site in Africa if it does go?

There is going to come a time when you just don't want to hang around the U.S. anymore, especially if the amount of earthquakes and ground rising in Yellowstone continues to increase 'Bigtime'. When should you be ready to move? Get your airline reservation early. You just know the airports are going to be extremely crowded when it does decide to blow this next time. Happy New Year everyone.

 

Of course. People like doom and gloom. And we mustn't forget that the military/industrial/political/scientific complex is deliberately hiding the severity of the problem. Indeed the current world economic crisis was doubtless precipitated in order to distract attention away from Yellowstone.

Don't you just love humans.
