Animals leaving Yellowstone Park

WYOMING – An animal exodus at Yellowstone National Park in Wyoming has residents and tourist wondering if they know something they don’t.

Bison and many other animals are leaving Yellowstone in droves, and its prompting theories that minor earthquakes in the area could soon set off the Yellowstone Super Volcano.

A series of smaller quakes have hit the region over the past few weeks, and the more earthquakes hit an area, the more chances a volcano may be activated from its dormant state

Aren’t these herds migratory?

It’s spring...they are on the move

And yeah, in the fall out area EVERY power line above ground will be destroyed. Every transformer, generator, every source of traditional power generation, and the new non traditional, will be gone. I guess if you can generate through thermal transfer you might be ok.

Consider taking a landmass equal to two or three feet of ash the size of Texas, and heating it to a thousand degrees and exploding it into the sky in a second using all of the atom bombs produced by all of the countries, ever.

Then you can begin to comprehend what it would be like. They refer to these as extinction level events for a reason.

This wouldn’t be like Mt. St. Helens. The super heated ash cloud would destroy everything as far south as central Texas. No one in Colorado would survive. Except maybe those at NORAD.

So you’re saying that all the rivers and all the lakes in EVERY direction from the Yellowstone caldera will be immediately and irreparably damaged/contaminated by an eruption, including those NOT downwind?

Perhaps you...might want to put that bottle down, give your head a shake, and THINK rather than spout utter nonsense, FRiend.

well when the Bison/and other cattle get to Florida,we can just freeze them and eat them until our weather returns back to normal.Guess McDonalds will add a few new items to it’s menu.

[Wilum]

Build a big enough one and you can go full circle.

This is definitely in the running for a double face palm of the day award

Excuse me I have some cleaning up to do. :>)

[Gadsden1st]

I need an answer. I’ve done a Google search but can’t find an answer. Does anyone know if Bison use the other side of the road in England?

That clerk either soon will OWN the food mart, or else move on to other, more challenging and remunerative pursuits.

If you see him again, make sure that he is aware of Kipling’s “If”!

[Vermont Lt]

There ya go. I guess you could make a bison shrimp étouffée.

"The water-saturated thickness of the Ogallala Formation ranges from a few feet to more than 1000 feet (300 m) and is generally greater in the northern plains.[5] The depth of the water below the surface of the land ranges from almost 400 feet (120 m) in parts of the north to between 100 and 200 feet (30 and 60 m) throughout much of the south. Present-day recharge of the aquifer with fresh water occurs at an exceedingly slow rate, suggesting that much of the water in its pore spaces is paleowater, dating back to the most recent ice age and probably earlier."

I LOVE how they are sorta Galloping along the road...

But I grew up on a farm and am a sucker for cows in motion, grant buffalo are not cows but they are close enough.

LOL, buffalo in this commercial hate cars apparently...

[GraceG]

Could be. There are lots of reports of animals leaving an area just before a natural disaster, geological especially...

A lot of animals can feel the infra-sonic vibrations through their feet and hooves...

[ am i safe here on the southern tip of Florida?

As long as you have 5000 years worth of food and a snowblower, you’re good. ]

Oh the rain will wash a lot of the ash away within a few years, earth is more resilient than we think.

So glad i built that survival shelter in that deep underground salt mine that has a mini-nuclear reactor and a freshwater well in it...

[Diana in Wisconsin]

Appears so, LOL!

[Vermont Lt]

Well then, send me your address. I am coming to live with you.

[Vermont Lt]

You are a funny guy

[GraceG]

[ You are a funny guy ]
