Old Yellowstone quietly getting ready to blow. But most people are worried about the "Kardashians".

---------------------

God says this about today....

Luke 21:8-12

8 And he said, Take heed that ye be not deceived: for many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and the time draweth near: go ye not therefore after them.

9 But when ye shall hear of wars and commotions, be not terrified: for these things must first come to pass; but the end is not by and by.

10 Then said he unto them, Nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom:

11 And great earthquakes shall be in divers places, and famines, and pestilences; and fearful sights and great signs shall there be from heaven.

12 But before all these, they shall lay their hands on you, and persecute you, delivering you up to the synagogues, and into prisons, being brought before kings and rulers for my name's sake.

Nothing to worry about, if that thing blows we’re all gone within weeks, but there’s nothing you can do about it.

Good thing I know how to make moonshine. Should come in handy in a barter economy.

An eruption, Kaku said, is long overdue: The last one occurred 640,000 years ago.

Bunk.

The last three Yellowstone eruptions have been spaced roughly 600000 to 700000 years apart.

If the next massive eruption is next year, it won't be early; if it doesn't happen for another 10000 years, it won't be late.

Why does this article quote a theoretical physicist? Are we out of geologists or vulcanologists?

“But, thankfully, we don’t need to freak out anytime soon. It is extremely unlikely that these swarms will set off the supervolcano. In fact, the USGS sets the probability of the supervolcano erupting in the coming year at 1 in 730,000, and has kept its volcano alert level at green.

“Swarms in Yellowstone are a common occurrence,” Jamie Farrell, a research professor at the University of Utah, which is part of the Yellowstone Volcano Observatory (YVO), told Newsweek.

“On average, Yellowstone sees around 1,500-2,000 earthquakes per year. Of those, 40 to 50 percent occur as part of earthquake swarms.”

Nope, we're not out of g's or v's, the author just couldn't find one willing to say what he wanted to write.

Whenever I see a headline at FR that has me immediately thinking "OMIGOD!!", I look closer and .. "Never mind, it's Zerohedge."

And "Liberty Blog" .. That sounds like a fountain of authoritative knowledge about volcanology.

Because all the vulcanologists that monitor Yellowstone have said the swarm is not near the magma chamber and is a regularly recurring event that gives no indication of magma movement or introduction. Gas venting has not changed in the area and there are no new ground deformations being detected. Volcano status is still on GREEN and there are no indicators to change it.

How can you have an earthquake with a magnitude less than zero?

theoretical physicist Michio Kaku.

Is there a bigger disaster-monger than that man?

The Yellowstone volcano is particularly dangerous because its magma is of the thick continental variety, as opposed to volcanoes located in the sea or continental edges. Being thicker, it traps the various gases, causing them to build to catastrophically violent levels. Volcanoes like those on Hawaii, on the other hand, consist of highly fluid “runny” magma. Those on continental margins, like Mt St Helens, are a combination of the two because both magma types are in the mix.

Trump’s fault. Trump and those damned SUVs.

Womyn and minorities will be hardest hit.

Why? Are they at Yellowstone?......................

We live about 35 miles east of Yellowstone Lake and I can tell you that earthquakes are pretty common here.

I can also tell you that we’re blessed to have a hot spring that we use to heat our house, barns, garage, driveway, hot tub, and pool before the water gets released into the creek.

The water temperature from the spring is a steady 187F all year long. If we see it start to rise we’ll be packing up and heading west ASAP.

Until then I’m not worried about it.
