But still isn’t expected to erupt for 10,000 years. So don’t get too stressed.

Sounds like the spot Oklahoma, Texas, and Kansas need to start disposing of water used in the fracking process....

I also like the magma magnitude study. Say that fast three time. I can't say it fast even once....

Yes, but for silly fun you can’t beat “Volcano” with Tommy Lee Jones, 1997. It has the added benefits of the destruction of a lot of L.A., and a saccharine gratuitous post-Rodney King racial harmony message at the end. Those of a certain age will remember the endless promotions for “Krakatoa - East of Java” on Saturday p.m. movie showings. In my archaeology class in college in 1980 the professor began that segment by asking “Does anyone know where Krakatoa is?” At least half the class cried out “East of Java!” In fact, it’s west of Java. Good times.

I’m sure that Obama will not permit an eruption on his watch, but after Jan. 20, 2017, we’ll have to be on guard.

Yup. I remember the video from the Phillipines when Pinatubo went and felt bad for those folks driving away from the pyro as fast as they could and losing ground.

If relief drilling had an impact at all, it would be more likely to weaken the cap and begin the “unzipping”, in my opinion.

Sounds like the spot Oklahoma, Texas, and Kansas need to start disposing of water used in the fracking process...I seem to recall reading that a sudden infusion of water to that kind of system would set off steam explosions that would trigger a magma eruption. I don't remember where.

I thought for sure that “ayatollah” was going to be a very obscure, dated lyric by the time that song hit the “classic rock” stations. Alas...

So where’s the ash and cinder buildup from a previous eruption? Where’s the cone?
