“Makes me wonder. I don’t know how close Oklahoma is to the New Madrid fault, but just think if the “unthinkable” happens:
1. The Yellowstone Caldera erupts”

Most of the articles about the Yellowstone Caldera have included hysterical exaggerations. The Caldera is very long, very wide, very shallow, less than 10% of it molten, with many outlets and very generally weak. But yes. If all of the hypothetical events in your list did happen, the effects would be very costly and difficult for many.

What will really happen when the Yellowstone supervolcano erupts?

That’s a very interesting article, and I bookmarked it for future reference. Many of the comments after the article are enlightening also.
