- Recent eruptions, 200 degree ground temperatures, bulging magma and 84 degree water temperatures prompt heightened srutiny of park's geothermal activity...
-
- BILLINGS, Mont. -- Yellowstone National Park happens to be on top of one of the largest "super volcanoes" in the world. Geologists claim the Yellowstone Park area has been on a regular eruption cycle of 600,000 years. The last eruption was 640,000 years ago making the next one long overdue. This next eruption could be 2,500 times the size of the 1980 Mount St. Helens eruption. Volcanologists have been tracking the movement of magma under the park and have calculated that, in parts of Yellowstone, the ground has risen over seventy centimeters this century.
-
- In July, 2003, Yellowstone Park rangers closed the entire Norris Geyser Basin because of deformation of the land and excessive high ground temperatures. There is an area that is 28 miles long by 7 miles wide that has bulged upward over five inches since 1996, and this year the ground temperature on that bulge has reached over 200 degrees (measured one inch below ground level).
-
- There was no choice but to close off the entire area. Everything in this area is dying: The trees, flowers, grass and shrubs. A dead zone is developing and spreading outward. The animals are literally migrating out of the park.
-
- Then during the last part of July one of the Park geologists discovered a huge bulge at the bottom of Yellowstone Lake. The bulge has already risen over 100 feet from the bottom of the lake and the water temperature at the surface of the bulge has reached 88 degrees and is still rising.
-
- Keep in mind that Yellowstone Lake is a high mountain lake with very cold water temperatures. The Lake is now closed to the public. It is filled with dead fish floating everywhere. The same is true of the Yellowstone river and most of the other streams in the Park. Dead and dying fish are filling the water everywhere.
-
- Many of the picnic areas in the Park have been closed and people visiting the Park usually stay but a few hours before leaving since the stench of sulfur is so strong they literally can't stand the smell.
-
- The irony of all this is the silence by the news media and our government. Very little information is available from Yellowstone personnel or publications. What mainstream newsstories do appear underscore the likelihood of a massive volcanic eruption. Though geologists publicly admit Yellowstone is "overdue," they have been quoted as stating another massive magma release may not occur for 100,000 or 2 million years. Others close to the story are convinced that a massive eruption is imminent. A source that has demonstrated first-hand knowledge of the park's history and recent geothermal events stated the following: "The American people are not being told that the explosion of this 'super volcano' could happen at any moment. When Yellowstone does blow, some geologists predict that every living thing within six hundred miles is likely to die. The movement of magma has been detected just three-tenths of a mile below the bulging surface of the ground in Yellowstone raising concerns that this super volcano may erupt soon."

One national warning system for terrorist attacks and now another one for volcano eruptions.
YELLOWSTONE IS NOW AT CODE ORANGE!
But PLEASE, go about your daily routine, as if you weren't going to be covered by 5 feet of lava any day now.
That is all.

Ashfall kill, not blast at 600 miles.

This is evidenced in things like the blast damage at the OKC bombing being greater at distances farther away from the blast than directly in front of it ... OOOOOPS ... well maybe the inverse square law has some flaws or exceptions.No, really it was a single blast from a Ryder truck parked out front that sheared reinforced concrete columns....but not the sheetrock just adjacent...
To: SevenDaysInMay
600 mile radius, also with a potential building crushing, animal choking kill zone from ashfall, is the area within I-35, I-40, to California's Central Valley, to the Pacific including all of Oregon and Washington, Vancouver, Edmonton, and southeast to Manitoba. Psst, Mexico, have I got a DEAL for you on California! Still want it back? Why are you looking at me that way? It's just a little ash, it can be cleaned off. Look--it blows away!

Im not scientist, but that report is just a little hysterical.
One thousand cubic kilometres of lava would pour out of the volcano, enough to coat the whole of the USA with a layer 5 inches thick.
Give me a break! This is worse than the Y2k reports.

If it flowed evenly over the landscape which it won't. Think: spiffy new mountain range.

Y2K stuff WAS BS.
This is NOT.

LOL at your response...
Personally I would prefer to live a long prosperous life for Jesus.
I am not in a hurry to meet him...he isn't going anywhere. I mean that in a respectful sense.

There will be much more park when this is all over.
To: SevenDaysInMay
Whenever this eruption happens, the civilization of North America will never be the same. The western United States to the Mississippi River will be a solemn burial ground.
Pity we cannot just build a VERY LARGE containment and a VERY LARGE pipeline and convey this mess to some place far more deserving then America.
I am sure we can all think of some worthy recipients...

I did. And I am not God.
It was an obvious case of those who think they know technology versus those who do.
I heard someone I used to respect (Chuck Missler) describing himself as knowing "everything" about electronics and computers and in the same speech claiming that isolated "microchips" would wack out on Y2K....
Microchips that have no REAL TIME CLOCK.
It was obviously a fraud.
Sorry you spent so much on it.
