BREAKING: Yellowstone’s Supervolcano Belly Rumbling

A Sheep No More ^ | 2/3/14 | Andrew Pontbriand

[Mike Darancette]

A seismometer inside a borehole at Yellowstone National Park has begun reporting staggering underground activity near the southwest corner of Yellowstone Lake, possibly signaling the beginning of an eruption of the Super Volcano at the Yellowstone National Park

Yellowstone National Park is home to many beauties, with it’s ancient landscape, geysers, and hot springs. It is also the site of one of the worlds most destructive forces. A supervolcano.

lol....

Avoid the rush, panic now!!!

It won’t be the first time Atlas farted!

Freakin’ Frackers’ !!!

Have been to fossil sites east of Yellowstone, in the Big Horn Mountains which have fossils of sea life.

The mountains rise to over 13000 ft., and the adjacent plains are mile high altitude.

Maybe in the past there was a big uplift?

The largest blast — the volcano’s first — was 2,000 times the size of the 1980 eruption of Mount St. Helens in Washington state. A similar one would spew large amounts of volcanic material in the atmosphere, where it would circle the earth, he said.

“It would be a global event,” Farrell said. “There would be a lot of destruction and a lot of impacts around the globe.”

BTW, it would be interesting to see how a so-called, “civilized” world would react to this as I don’t think a” natural event” on a global scale in modern times has occurred.

The ensuing ‘nuclear’ winter could kill everyone on earth.

I think my Aunt, Uncle, and my two cousins were there then too! My Mom was saying they came from Nevada and took their two kids to Yellowstone for a vacation. They had to evacuate the park when it happened! I had thought it was a fire, but if it was in 1959, it must’ve been that earthquake!

"Shame on me for deriding the Doomsday Prepper who was preparing for a Yellowstone supervolcano eruption."

Preppers won't survive an eruption of this size.

I meant to say every 70,000 years not 70 years.

If you were there, you’re lucky to be here.

america as a country has done great good and great bad. the good goes with the bad, if it goes. no other country does the good we do, not even close.

[dragnet2]

I have heard that’s a possibility.

Lets hope it doesn’t go off for a few more years...

Late Pleostocene Human Population Bottlenecks. . . (Toba)

"The last glacial period was preceded by 1000 years of the coldest temperatures of the Late Pleistocene, apparently caused by the eruption of the Mount Toba volcano. The six year long volcanic winter and 1000-year-long instant Ice Age that followed Mount Toba's eruption may have decimated Modern Man's entire population. Genetic evidence suggests that Human population size fell to about 10,000 adults between 50 and 100 thousand years ago. The survivors from this global catastrophy would have found refuge in isolated tropical pockets, mainly in Equatorial Africa. Populations living in Europe and northern China would have been completely eliminated by the reduction of the summer temperatures by as much as 12 degrees centigrade. "

And then the Martinique government got tired of paying welfare to the refugees after a few months and insisted they move back home to continue payments. The scientists warned the volcano was too dangerous. They were right, another pyroclastic flow killed most in a village of 2,000 a few weeks after they returned home. I shudder to think just how bad things would get with even one of the “minor” Yellowstone eruptions. With a major one, world deaths would be in the billions, although the extinction of species would probably be no where near 60%.

The first time my wife and I were in Yellowstone, we arrived the day they dynamited the snowdrifts to open the Sylvan Pass (May 1st that year.) We hadn't yet learned anything about Yellowstone because none of the Park offices were yet open, and our hotel room was in West Yellowstone, MT, on the other side of the Park.

We decided to take a drive on the upper loop, from Dunraven Pass to Tower Falls in the mid-afternoon. There's an overlook at one spot above Mt Washburn that's around 10,000 feet where you can look down into the lower loop road of the Park. It's breathtaking: as soon as you look down, you realize you are looking into the crater of a volcano that's like 40-50 MILES in diameter.

I said, "My God. The whole Park is just a Volcano."

Very, very spooky.

Actually, info from multiple sources were posted here.

Not when I click on the link you provided. I get a community college student paper and some links at bottom. When you click on those.....

I get:

Discovery's tv line up

History's tv lineup (starting w/swamp people)

The ability to purchase the usgs.com website since the attempt to cite usgs.GOV failed.

and -

A link to yellowstonenationalpark.com that doesn't describe things in the world ending terms that the original paper does.

None of which support anything in the paper other than 'there's a caldera at Yellowstone.' ---

At the top are links to other student presentations at CCC, the geology home page, and the email address for the "geology instructor."

---

So, if you count in the first paragraph where the writer says "According to Roger Weller, professor at Cochise College," and that you can get to a yellowstone website and two or three clicks later read something about a caldera as "multiple sources".......

Then yeah, multiple sources were listed. Because otherwise, it looks like a poorly written Community College Student paper with improper (read non-existent) citations.

[FredZarguna]

Much, MUCH worse.

I can't see anything or I missed it....
