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."

Some amateur astronomer would post something on teh web though no doubt.

FR is behind on this topic.

Not at all. This is merely the latest thread on topic. We are up to date and state of the art in FReepertown.

Where are you going to get the hills from

Since all of the water will be tied up in glaciers, the ocean level will drop far enough to ski off the edge of the continental shelf.

time for lunch but there is nothing in the 'fridge

Don't you have any left over Y2K spam, or are you saving it for after Yellowstone blows?

Go to my homepage, then click on Links, then scroll down to 'Yellowstone.' Several URL's there!

Ah, my brain fart. Gotcha.

Oh, the Hugh Manatee!

LOL!

Uh oh.

Now remember....

All of those things "could be" true.

And then again, maybe not. Just because the worst-case scenario "might" happen, is no guarantee that it "will" happen.

Sure, it's best to be prudent, to be careful, and to have a fallout/fallback/cover-up plan.... Even more important the closer you are to the park.

Or other natural hazard, such as the Mt's outside Seattle. Or the earthquake regions in CA. Or the volcanos on the island of HI itself.

but that's prudent anyway.

And, given some basic precaution to help your own family.... What can you do to stop it anyway?

[Robert A Cook PE]

Did you get your answer on the inverse square law adequately explained?

[Robert A Cook PE]

Yes, apparently the lake water level has risen to flood many nearby acres as the lake bottom has gone up.

Hell getting too full?

Maybe it's democrats underground!

I must develop my cabin/tent decorating skills in the New Year so I can be of service to the militia community.

I'm just certain they'll need someone to cater the social mixers too.

[Snowy]

it shows how far the Ash reached.

Well, I'm safe. On to another thread.

[Snowy]

Wind carries ash a long ways....

Yep, wind certainly can haul ash...

[Robert A Cook PE]

Good graphics, thank you.

That's the reason they predict it's overdue: the next blast should have already occurred.

But will it begin tommorrow, has it already started to "blow" - but won't release until 4-40-400-4000 years from now?

They don't knwo - but "aren't covering it up" - it's regularly reported on Discover, national geographic specials, and Edu. channels.

Just not in the lamestream media press corpse yet, since it can't be blamed on Bush.

Major UH OH.
