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

The bigger question is: how can Rats capitalize on the crisis?
Panic now! Don’t wait!
Worry more about what is happening with Iceland’s hotspot...right this moment...lol
If that super volcano goes off it will eradicate most earthly life forms.
I’m pretty much directly downwind. My plan is to break out the good Scotch, put on REM, snuggle up to Hubby, and toast TEOSWAWKI.
Wow. I bet Abe Lincoln constantly worried about this possibility.
Many things could end the world tomorrow. This is just one possibility. And it’s remote. So for now, I’ll go with the “Not this sh-t again!” meme.
The Obama Administration is busy working on a plan to respond to this issue that will clearly explain how it’s all Bush’s fault.
Or global warming.
Or gun owners.
Or the Tea Party.
I won’t be impressed with anything less than a super duper eruption.
Would probably really upset the EPA .... someone would get sued and have to pay!
Probably racist “black ash” resulting in hate crime charges against some white/white Hispanic geologist.
Well if we crashed into the Sun we would burn up but I don’t think that’s going to happen. Neither is the Yellowstone eruption. Your chances of being killed in a drone strike are way better.

BY ERIK KLEMETTI 02.06.14 gives a far different impression both about the likely eruption ( not in the near future ) and the size of any eruption ( small and moderate are in the historical range as well as super eruptions ). It is certainly one of the most watched and monitored volcanos in the world
As is the case in so many areas of science, charlatans and rabble-rousers are selling books, TV documentaries, and internet sites with tales of imminent doom and disaster.
With TIME running true to form in that they discovered just a few years ago that men and women are in fact different, they just managed to get to the breaking geological news in their editorial closet from 1492.
