We are about 150 miles away from Yellowstone.

Here ya go..

"Another catastrophic (Yellowstone) eruption is also possible. The effects of such a disaster are hard to even comprehend."

"Bill McGuire, professor of geohazards at the Benfield Greig Hazard Research Centre at the University College of London told the UK Daily Express, "Magma would be flung 50 kilometers into the atmosphere. Within a thousand kilometers virtually all life would be killed by falling ash, lava flows and the sheer explosive force of the eruption. One thousand cubic kilometers of lava would pour out of the volcano, enough to coat the whole USA with a layer 5 inches thick." He adds that it would once again bring "the bitter cold of Volcanic Winter to Planet Earth. Mankind may become extinct."

So basically, the ash will cover and clog up everything. Say Amen.
