I’ve heard past eruptions of Yellowstone were bad, millions of years ago and such.
I wonder how much is hyperbole and how bad a real eruption would be in terms of the US continuing to function, and people continuing to survive, given our 300+ million population?
I’m not the least bit worried, but a volcano barely qualifies as Catastrophism most of the time, well, pretty much all of the time, but one may wind up on the list once in a while.
NYC is covered with brownstones, no one worries about that. ;’)
