You think the ash is powder? Think about glacial snow pack—how fluffy white snow turns to glacial ice.
The first good rain and the ash turns to rock. Cement. About six feet thick. Everywhere. In everything. No machine is going to work five minutes without choking.
Small volcanoes like mt St. Helens screwed up that area for years. That would be the pimple on a super caldera explosions little brothers ass.
As I’ve said. We’re good if it happens.
Plenty of food, water and ammo.
(Unless someone has already, “Claimed,” it. Then, we’ll have to deal with half of what was in dispute......until we get the chance to rip someone’s throat out with our teeth)

My grandmother in Coeur d’Alene, ID sent me a bottle of St. Helens ash that fell in her yard after the volcano blew (270 miles great circle distance). It was fine as talcum powder and about a quarter inch deep. I can’t imagine the magnitude of disaster resulting from having that stuff many feet deep.
