“Does the phrase “Famous last words” occur to anyone else?”

Along with “The Calm Before The Storm.”

Something the hysterians fail to understand. There have been a few small eruptions there since the last big one.

Yup.
There is a rhyolitic dome and other stuff within the caldera showing post caldera eruptives.

I don't believe scientists anymore unless they can launch a vehicle into space and mate with the ISS in 19 hours.

Here's the previous "science" on the caldera. At 500,000 years we may be overdue (ymmv) - this is Wikipedia after all.

Yep - We're all gonna die. Remember you heard it here first.

For you math experts I just took the two latest eruptions and the average is 407,000 years. We’re overdue.

This really pisses me off..these hysterians.

The level of known eruptable lava is WAAAAYYY less than is usually required to force a large eruption there. Or any eruption for that matter.

Yet all we hear from some of those hysterians on say..youtube for example is..ITS READY TO BLOW!!!!

Now I wonder WTH they have not checked the Long Valley Caldera, or Mono Lake? Huh? The lava is up into the hills round abouts there.

Yet all they have in their pea brains is Yellowstone, Yellowstone, Yellowstone. Just because it has a bunch of geysers.

OH! Old Faithful looks to be spewing some off color steam! ITS GONNA BLOW!!!

Stupid. Then the one I am thinking of signs off with crickets chirping.

There’s a spreading zone buried below the southern end of the Salton Sea.
Couple years back a minor earthquake swarm indicated fluid injection at depth.
There are obsidian domes that had been mined for obsidian in recorded history.
So eruption there is a possibility.
Sciboys say “no”.
