This is not a new story, though it may have taken CBS this long to get to it. We took our family out to Yellowstone last summer, and there were concerns about this bulge back then! The temperature of the water in parts of Yellowstone Lake were much higher than normal. Frankly I was nervous the whole time we were there!
A HUGH part of the park sits on top of a caldera, and when that thing blows, it will be BAD NEWS for the western part of the US, and not so good news for us in the East either. The map of the park has the caldera boundaries clearly marked, and you can see the differences in vegetation from inside and outside the lines. The stuff on top of the caldera is sparse and scrubby, while outside the lines it is green and lush.
It is really a gorgeous place, and we had a great time.

Sounds series. Let's hope
all the moose don't freak out and
start biting people . . .

I was nervous the whole time we were there! Last time I was at Yellowstone there was a massive earthquake right after I left. I deny all responsibility, but I also haven't been back and don't intend to go back.

Fine. I live in Northern Utah and may never sleep again. Terrorism, West Nile virus, super-volcanoes in my backyard, Hitlery as Veep, baby bunny murderers, carbohydrates ...
