Well, Yellowstone is far less geologically active than when Colter first described it eg the geysers are fewer and smaller. When I was growing up conventional wisdom was that the next eruptions was 100,000 plus years away.

On the other hand, maybe stories like this will keep fewer out of state nuts from moving in so it might be a good thing...

The ground in Yellowstone seems to be rising, the ground under Yellowstone Lake is rising and there are places in Yellowstone that were closed for a time. In a geological time frame it is a ticking bomb.
