Go read my other responses.
You think the amount of ash coming down will be like a little snow flurry—like mt St. Helens. Your understanding is wrong by about a degree of one thousand.
Again, I am not saying this will happen. This is purely a thought exercise. But you have to understand that such a tectonic event will change everything. Not kidding. If you do not have pure water in your safe place, you will run out quickly.
The water becomes horribly acidic. Just because of the minerals it will be seeping through. Think sulphur, iron, and all sorts of crappy minerals that make drinking water bad.
If you are relatively near that thing, you will either move south, or you will die.
Last time animals did this was before the tsunami several years back.
Good luck.
Do some reading. It’s a good “thought” exercise for your prepping. No kidding—such an extreme tectonic event changes almost all of the assumptions.
For example, you have plenty of ammo. That’s great. What will you hunt—because the animals will ALL be dead. Sure you will shoot raiders, but they will be dead in a. Couple of weeks. See what I mean? It is a fun exercise to do the what if....what if....what if.
Humans have survived these things. Just not many of them.
But the government will take care of us, right?
(said Mr Hey I Missed April Fools Day but what the heck)
AnD based on your user name, you get the reference....it will be more like the Stand in terms of total death in the affected areas.
That is frightening.
I have a daughter out there-—something else to worry about.

The Miracle of Purun Bhagat - Rudyard Kipling
Do yourself a favor; take the time to read the entire story. Yes, it pertains to the bison leaving Yellowstone, but it is a great story in its own right.
“...the late Sir Purun Dass, K.C.I.E., D.C.L., Ph.D., etc., once Prime Minister of the progressive and enlightened State of Mohiniwala, and honorary or corresponding member of more learned and scientific societies than will ever do any good in this world or the next.”
Not worried about a mass extinction event, that’s not described in revelation.
Compared to revelation a mass extinction event might be a lot better.
I would have said stampede but trot is a good word too. Either way the buffalo were getting out of dodge and quick. Most of the time when one sees those animals they are more or less like a Sid and Marty Krofft puppet—they barely move! Just grazing in the field or woods. To see them stampeding down a highway is shocking.
No, the guy dies on the bridge. I think a few more died too :P
I read this...
“Night of the Grizzlies”
Jack Olsen’s true account, traces the causes of the tragic night in August 1967 when two separate and unrelated campers, a distance apart, were savagely mangled and killed by enraged bears.
different park I know but still scary!
Redd Foxx and Jamie Foxx. You were close though.

Hope that makes you feel better..
My grandmother in Coeur d’Alene, ID sent me a bottle of St. Helens ash that fell in her yard after the volcano blew (270 miles great circle distance). It was fine as talcum powder and about a quarter inch deep. I can’t imagine the magnitude of disaster resulting from having that stuff many feet deep.
Excellent articles!!
Don’t worry about things you can’t control. We’re not in control, only God is. I’d suggest trusting him and giving your worry to him, it’s a great way to get weight of a person’s chest.
Good advice.
Thanks.

Well.....
Not good....that's all I can come up with.
It's interesting to connect the geo events, as it seems like it repeats..
Quake in Cali, then some bigguns in Chile, and while that was going on you have a small but rare quake in a vast caldera. While at the same exact time the earth is getting whacked by a solar event, probably straining the magnetic field.
My sense is that the Cali and the Chile quakes are related.
Last time it seems to me that another followed in the ring of fire area some days later.
As a result it seems likely that the earth shrinks a tiny bit putting pressure perhaps on the caldera even moving the ground above a small amount. I wonder if they can measure that and if they have.
But I trust animals more than scientists...They are obviously spooked..which tends to spook me, having been raised on a farm.
Thanks for the links——they made me take a deep breath and realize I was being a tad silly.
The bison migration was even addressed.
Thank God for the prevalence of cooler heads.
