On Sunday, the worst earthquake in about 30 years rattled the Yellowstone supervolcano. Overall, there have been at least 25 significant earthquakes at Yellowstone National Park since Thursday, but it is the 4.8 earthquake that has many observers extremely worried. Could such a large earthquake be a sign that the Yellowstone supervolcano is starting to roar to life after all this time? And if it does erupt, what would that mean for the rest of the country? As you will see below, a full-blown eruption at Yellowstone would be absolutely catastrophic. It is estimated that such an eruption could dump a 10 foot deep layer of volcanic ash up to 1,000 miles away and render much of the nation uninhabitable for years to come. In essence, it would instantly bring the United States to its knees.
It is true that it is normal for Yellowstone to experience up to 3,000 earthquakes a year. But most of those earthquakes are extremely small and nothing to worry about.
But the 4.8 earthquake that struck on Sunday is definitely raising eyebrows – especially considering what else has been going on at Yellowstone lately.
For example, the scientists that monitor Yellowstone are telling us that the area where the earthquake was centered has been experiencing “ground uplift” in recent months…

The Seekers - Well Well Well
Refrain:
Well, well, well, who’s that callin’?
Well, well, well, hold my hand.
Well, well, well, night is a-fallin’,
Spirit is a-movin’ all over this land.
Lord told Noah, build him an ark,
Build it out of hickory bark.
Old ark a-movin’, and the water start to climb,
God said a fire, not a flood next time.
(refrain)
God said fire comin’ judgement day,
He said all mankind gonna pass away.
Brothers and sisters don’t you know?
You’re gonna reap just what you sow.
(refrain)
World’s not waitin’ for the lord’s command,
Buildin’ a fire that’ll sweep the land.
Thunder out of heaven, comin’ gabriel’s call;
And the sea’s gonna boil and the sky’s gonna fall.
God will not be mocked.

Congrats on that! lol.
Don’t worry, FEMA would have the situation well under control.
he he he
Good catch.
In addition even in areas where there is not heavy ash, it will be difficult to grow food as the ash is sterile. Combine that with extended cooling (SWAG, years) things would be very challenging.
It would accomplish Obama’s goal instantly.
Heck, I just started SSI in January (64 in Dec), and go on Medicare in September (3 mos early), but I’m not holding my breath. When “it” comes, it comes.
Well, the NFL would authorize yellow arm bands for the rest of the season and plans would be underway for a super star concert in NYC to raise money for the DNC.
The last super volcano eruption was a near ELE - only a few hundred people survived worldwide. Given today's civilization - only those living in the most isolated and primitive of societies would have any chance of survival.

Yeah... That’s what is making him such a charming fellow... What’s not to adore?!?!
Detroit. It would look like Detroit.
On the bright side, we wouldn't have to listen to The Won and his minions bloviating-on incessantly.
MUST you bring obama into every discussion???
2. Humans survived Lava Creek. Humans survived Lake Toba. Humans survived Lake Taupo eruptions (twice, most recently 180AD). Tambora, Santorini (Atlantis story), Krakatoa.
Disasters are a part of nature. They happen. How people deal with them, be it the big earthquake, tornado, fire, volcano, cold snap, drought, etc is what's important. Adapt or die.
Volcanism is a young science. Western civilization has little experience with volcanism until the "new" world. Vesuvius, Mt Etna, and a few others. An old World Book encyclopedia listed Mt St Helens as "extinct." Krakatoa opened some eyes. Mt St Helens opened more. Pinatubo was a game changer. There's a lot people really don't know about volcanoes.
You try being totally omniscient for a few billion (or even 6 thousand) years and see if you get bored!
