Recently, rumors have been swelling of a danger at Yellowstone National Park. That danger? A brewing supervolcano eruption.
The fear of a Yellowstone supereruption, which ultimately went viral, may have begun back in February when a seismometer called B944 began sending senseless data to a public viewer at the University of Utah's seismographic station, as George Black reports in The New Yorker.
Luckily for most of the U.S., the likelihood this eruption would happen is pretty low: about one in 100,000 any given year. If it did happen, it would be pretty devastating, though.

Last time I looked at a Yellowstone explosion map Denver was at the edge of the “dead” zone. This map says only an inch of ash. Things are looking up!
It could never happen.
It’s a UN Heritage site!
We’ll just pay a bit more in taxes and shove that molten lava back into it hole.
Simple!
SUVs emissions and celebrity selfies would have to go to the back burner for a while.
I’ve been to Yellowstone AT LEAST half a dozen times and I’ve been to many volcanoes. Yellowstone is NO VOLCANO - there’s no mountain. Just more of the liberals trying to SCARE people.
Algore may need to sacrafice more virgins to Gaia to prevent the caldera from releasing it’s 2nd chakra.

Anything you like, but just keep that fat creep out of my neighborhood.
P.S. I have to drive through Yellowstone to get to the southern part of my county. It’s my neck of the woods...
I’m so excited.
The “mountain”, from the three times it’s erupted in the last two million years, is scattered all over the western US.
about 3/8 inch of ash for north Texas - wouldn’t that help enrich our soil and cool our summers for several years?
The mountain wases high and blown miles high at the last eruption.
The mountain and a bunch of stuff that came out of the eruption spread over the Western US.
Now there is a fifty mile wide caldera is where it used to be.
Volcado?
Yogi and Boo Boo will not make it out alive.
You don’t need to have a mountain to have a volcano. All you need is a hotspot where light, hot, molten rock from the mantle rises toward the surface. It’s under a lot, a LOT of pressure. If it blows out hard enough, the upsurging material that would otherwise make the “mountain” gets scattered over a wide area. Like, 15 states.

You’re kidding. I hope.
If it goes boom not to worry as you will soon die. No food, no water, no power, no SUNLIGHT. All that will be left will be lawyers and cockroaches.

They left and now live in Florida on a fishing boat.
