If Yellowstone erupted into a massive, ash-spewing volcano, how far might the plume travel across the continental United States? From coast to coast, blanketing every city in ash, according to an unsettling new study.

Geophysicists developed a computer model of a Yellowstone

Then the meaning of Ash Wednesday will take onna whole new meaning...

Women and Minorities hardest hit....

[Hoffer Rand]

Penetrating insight into the obvious. Wonder how much they spent on this study.

Meh, a collision with a super-duper asteroid could be bad too.

Or a really big solar flare.

Or space aleins looking for a new home that have to terra form our planet to suit their needs.

More Ash = more boomstick.

I fail to see the issue here.

They could have just watched any of the dozen Discovery Channel shows that already went over all this.

Did they manage to blame global warming at least, to make the study more important?

It looks like we’ll all be hauling ash.

Who hasn't known this for forty years?

[E. Pluribus Unum]

And an asteroid could smash the world to smithereens.

I saw a map a few years ago that placed Denver out on the edge of the death zone from a Yellowstone eruption.

39 year olds?

Old news. This could happen tomorrow.
Or in 60000 years. Either way I will not sleep well tonight because the POSOTUS is a communist.
The Yellowstone supervolcano bothers me not.

I think they blamed GWB

What does Yellowstone volcanic ash have against cities?

What could it be about our cities that this Yellowstone volcanic ash will blanket while not covering the more wholesome rural areas of our country?

And there’s not a damned thing any of us can do about it.

Not even if we quit driving our cars, give up plastic bags and recycle.

Excellent reply and I agree. Better to prepare for the more likely massive ash fallout resulting from the conflagration we are about to unleash confronting Islam. A super volcano event unlikely to occur in my lifetime is unworthy of my immediate concern.

[sportutegrl]

Good thing I have volcano insurance.

LOL!
