Oh, please! What a crock of used food. This guy never heard of the inverse-square law.

Actually, 600 miles is a very conservative estimate. Blast effects would me minimal more then a few tens of miles away but at that point "inverse square" is as useful at protecting you as Spongebob Squarepants.

Imagine the local devastation caused by the ash fall from Mount St. Helens in the area of volcano. Now make the vent of the volcano 25 MILES IN DIAMETER instead of a few hundred feet and multiply the volume of magma HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS of times over St. Helens...

Still feel warm and cozy with your "inverse square law"?

Don't unless you live on another planet or have the means to transport yourself there. This would affect every lifeform on the planet.

A proclaimed Muslim Daleel from Death Squad 8 on a Yahoo website that has been shut down claimed that is God Allah was going to be responsible for this thing going off very soon.

My girlfriend's 10 yr old heard me telling her about the Volcano and he chimed in telling Mom what he was watching and following on a tv program about it.

Could this be the diaster impending in the Mid West?

Not a nuke as some are thinking.

I think I'll hang onto my sailboat here in San Diego. The one I've crossed a couple oceans on. Might be a good thing to have if this sucker blows.
