How many people in that region now? I’m waiting for Yellowstone to blow.

[BenLurkin]

Interesting.

[drSteve78]

Global warming, uhh, climate change.

[gibsonguy]

I’ve been hearing Yellowstone is “overdue” my whole life.

[Jet Jaguar]

Interesting.

“I’ve been hearing Yellowstone is “overdue” my whole life.”

Not overdue yet but we only have a few data points and scant knowledge on this stuff.

I’ve been hearing Yellowstone is “overdue” my whole life.

Your great grandchildren will probably say the same thing.

New Madrid, San Andreas, and Yellowstone are all overdue. What if they all went at once?

[volunbeer]

I was shocked to see the talking head (MSNBC I think?) attribute the earthquake to global warming.

Unreal. The stupid burns!

[protoconservative]

Yellowstone release energy every day like clockwork, if the boiling pots stopped for say 500 years would be concerned.
New Madrid has had large for what it earthquakes for at least 400 years. San Andreas, like its virtual city scape, is targeted at its worthless neighbors.

[alancarp]

The one I’m most concerned about is the Cascadia Subduction Zone. That could kill a lot of people in the Pacific NW.

[basalt]

Tang-Shaun in Northern China, 1976, was a nasty piece of work....over 250,000 dead i believe..

[crz]

Well, is you live another 10 to 15 thousand years or more, you might get lucky to see it.

[CletusVanDamme]

We could use another massive one in China now.

[Roman_War_Criminal]

And when it blows, goodbye North America - maybe all of the America’s.

It’ll be that big.

[Roman_War_Criminal]

You nail something I’ve been thinking about for awhile.

I can absolutely see that scenario play out.
