Their weight is causing the edges of America to droop and the center to rise.

Well...it's pretty obvious that Jerry Nadler is the problem on one coast. I wonder who's causing the problem on the other?

The Volcanic Explosivity Index

The Volcanic Explosivity Index

---

The volcano explosivity index (VEI) is a scale used to measure the intensity of volcano eruptions.  It is similar to the Richter and Mercalli scales, which measure the intensity of earthquakes.  The VEI measures explosivity, volume of ash (tephra), and the height ash reaches into the atmosphere.  Additionally, it gives a description of the eruption, a name for the eruption, and the total number of those eruptions in human history.  See below for the VEI chart.

Note that in human history, there have been no VEI 8 eruptions. 

This does not mean that a VEI 8 eruption has not occurred sometime in the geologic past.

Below are pictures of eruptions of volcanoes from around the world, grouped according to their VEI number

Saw a show on this a few months back. Very interesting. More info here

Click on Yellowstone Caldera.

I saw the show on the megatsunamis also. La Palma, Canary Islands

Not quite as informative as the Yellowstone site, but still it does talk about the potential for massive landslides that would cause a megatsunami to hit the US east coast.

The problem is that a flank, or large portion of land is gradually sliding towards the ocean. When this chunk of land falls into the ocean, it could produce a tsunami thousands of times larger than any tsunami ever recorded. The tsunami will head for the eastern coast of the US. The show indicated that the tsunami would probably reach inland about 12 miles.

What the scientists don't know is, if the next eruption could cause the landslide or some eruption decades or centuries into the future. What they do know is that it WILL happen. It's not a matter of IF, it's a matter of when.

Back to Yellowstone, scientists taking measurements have noticed that one side of the caldera has been rising. Because of the size of this super volcano (most of Yellowstone), scientists say that when it erupts, it could have disastrous consequences around the world. And again, it was not IF, but WHEN.

Of course having seen these shows you know this, but thought I'd comment for those that may have missed the shows.

I saw that show. Scared me. parsy the still quivering.

Junior:Great post! Check out the link below, if you missed it.

Raygun: You said,"Actually, this post is a little bizarre. I was just thinking about this in response to some other post recently.

You weren't on this post, Superplumes Rumble Inside Earth, by chance were you?

[Centurion2000]

People don't realize that one of thinnest known spots of the Earth's crust is in Yellowstone. Pretty much everywhere else the crust is several factors of miles if not order of magnitude of miles deep. However in Yellowstone it is less than a quarter mile thick.

Interesting apples; I wonder what the effect of a nuke detonated in the ground in Yellowstone would do.

Expose the magma to air and what would the overall effect be for the US?

Here will be the big question if it does blow. When did George W know about it and why did he not prevent it.

I don't know. With all the airheads on the left coast it would take someone larger than the Nadler. But perhaps there is a solution here. Truck the Nadler to Yellowstone for the summer.

Thanks for posting this, Junior.  Good info and a nice job.

Increase in earthquakes 1970 to 2001

There are lots of links on this thread [Click here] about Mt. St. Helens and the Cascades.  Also:

• Mt. Rainier in Washington has been warming up lately,
• there is an erupting Volcano on the Ocean Floor Off Oregon Coast,
• there is a bulge at the Three Sisters in Oregon,
• Mammoth Lakes in California has regular swarms of quakes and is the headwaters of the water supply for L.A.
• In Mexico, Colima is spewing,
• the NEIC Earthquake site shows that quakes are up in number and in intensity, and
• the whole Pacific Plate is rattling like a lid on the stove.

See # 74 here

We should be paying close attention.  As we see the Decline of a Nation and America's exportation of abortion worldwide, it would be wise to consider who and what is Babylon.

Jer 51:42 The sea is come up upon **Babylon: she is covered with the multitude of the waves thereof.

Mt 18:6 But whoso shall offend one of these little ones which believe in me, it were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and that he were drowned in the depth of the sea.

Re 18:21 And a mighty angel took up a stone like a great millstone, and cast it into the sea, saying, Thus with violence shall that great city **Babylon be thrown down, and shall be found no more at all.

Many are ignoring red flags and warnings which puts them in the category of being a mocker and scoffer who says all things continue as they were from the beginning of the creation.

2Pe 3:3 Knowing this first, that there shall come in the last days scoffers, walking after their own lusts,
4 And saying, Where is the promise of his coming? for since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of the creation.
5 For this they willingly are ignorant of, that by the word of God the heavens were of old, and the earth standing out of the water and in the water:
6 Whereby the world that then was, being overflowed with water, perished:
7 But the heavens and the earth, which are now, by the same word are kept in store, reserved unto fire against the day of judgment and perdition of ungodly men.

Thanks for posting this.  Your links on the VEI series are fascinating.  There is a lot of good info on this thread.  Here is a chart that seems to relate to your VEI series.

[PeaceBeWithYou]

I think you are correct.

See this link Long Valley Caldera

Also, I think Mexico City is built on a similar caldera, but can't find anything relating to past catastrophic eruptions(perhaps a lack of study). At any rate the potential is there, Popocatépetl is the second tallest stratospheric volcano in the hemisphere and has more than 30 million people living in sight of it's peak. Given the demographics any major eruption will be catastrophic to them, and if it should reach VEI 6 or more it would affect much of the Southern US, as well as, Central and South America.

What a violent and inhospitable planet we live on! But it's far better than the other 8 choices.

The other 8 choices are indeed rather bleak!

[Ernest_at_the_Beach]

It is all very fascinating!

This could be big...Really big.
