Got mine on right now.
But then I have them on most of the time anyway.
Except in bed.
Usually.

We are overdue for another Yellowstone eruption. This is also the sort of volcanic activity that blocks out the sun to precipitate a new Ice Age, to boot.

Yellow Stone was one of the must see places for me in this life time.Maybe you'll see it again.
As it flies overhead.

Venturer,
No worry here. Having worked two summers at Fishing Bridge, in YNP, I know of the activity, have felt many earth quakes while working there in the early 1960s and visited last August, I just hope it is "much ado about nothing".
There are some thing one just needs to respect. My vote, about two years ago, was the Mammoth, CA was the next big go, with over 2,000 quakes within a week, as I recall.

Yikes! Had no idea it was that size.
If it erupts like St. Helens did it would be a real problem, hopefully it won’t.

It doesn’t have to be a super eruption. It could have a “normal” eruption.

"If it erupts like St. Helens did it would be a real problem, hopefully it wont."It is 40,000 years overdue for it's 600,000 event. If that happens, Mt. St. Helens would seem like a common kitchen match.

That vehicle sat for years in a lot next to the Hollywood Freeway, I used to drive past it each day and chuckle, lol. I hear it’s not there anymore though.

With the prevailing jet stream moving east those west of the Rockies should be fine. See post #82.

I think the last time she blew it wiped out an area the size of several of the current states in that area.
From what I understand if we have an event anything like the last one most life in the US would be gone within 3-6 months.
Ash would fall to the ease up to 6-7 feet and nothing would grow for years. Thw ash would kill every living yhing for over a thousand miles.
The sun’s light would be blocked and the earth would cool causing crops to not grow.
This could kill hundreds of millions of people worldwide.

I YS really blows, it will be horrendous. Actually it has had a massive blow every 600,000 years give or take a few hundred thousand years. Its last big blow left a caldera 30 miles in diameter. Mt. St. Helens crater is less than a mile in diameter. Mt. Pinitubo in 1991 left a crater 3 miles in diameter, and remember the havoc it caused here the next few years. The 500 year flood of the Mississippi, terrible snow and ice storms in various parts of the country. The state of Pennsylvania closed for 3 feet of snow. It would destroy some beautiful country about 1,000 miles downwind, and probably at least 100 miles on all sides. Also millions of people if it happened suddenly, and probably more than a billion world wide over time.

I have no idea. I came across it a few days ago. One site had all this, and then had it that it would be blown up, within the week before the Obamanation Inauguration, so that Bush and Cheney could declare martial law, and stay in office.

If my old memory serves, a super eruption has occurred at approx every 600 million years. An eruption at Yellowstone region approx every 70thousand years. The last biggie was ~640 million tears ago. The last several eruptions of non-super type have moved along a curved line leaving a partial ring of ancient caldera roughly on the edge of the last great super eruption caldera. The entire park is the super cladera, ~20 miles across.

Yup. The last that I heard, the vehicle was going into restoration.

Didn’t the last biggie deposit six inches deep of ash in Nebraska region?
