Calm down dude. The caldera scientists I've talked to (UNM we have some of the best) think that the ground at Yellowstone is too broken up for an eruption greater than say 10 time bigger than Mt. St. Helens. The next big eruption from a ring volcano is probably going to be the Valles caldera here in New Mexico. The ring fracture is almost complete so sometime in the next 50,000yrs or so. When you see a new cinder cone forming in the middle of Valles Grande, run.

I've always thought the Long Valley caldera in eastern California will be the next major erruption within the CONUS. Lots of earthquake swarms, near-surface geothermal activity...the right kind of host rocks...and history. The Bishop tuff is only 700,000 years old.

Who knows? But fun to conjecture.

I am calm. The scientists think......

Notice that they specify they 'think' what would likely happen.

I was reacting to the other posters statement that the lake dome would explode, but the caldera would not. That poster has no idea what will happen, and neither do scientists. If they did, they would have stated so.
