Warning signs that Yellowstone may Erupt
Joe For America ^ | on Feb 27, 2014 | Joe For America

Some worrying developments are taking place at the Super Volcano located beneath Yellowstone National Park; the kind of developments that were seen shortly before other volcanoes erupted. Not only was there a sudden rise in the elevation of the ground, and development of new cracks, but a gas called Helium-4, a very rare type of Helium, has begun coming out of the surface. It is the presence of this gas that has scientists quite concerned. If the Yellowstone Super Volcano were to erupt, it would be 2,000 times bigger than the eruption of Mount St. Helens in the 1980′s. Everything within 500 miles would be dead or destroyed within minutes, 2/3rds of the entire United States would be covered in volcanic ash and the climate of the entire planet would cool within a month. On top of that, just this past week, the largest earthquake in the US took place just a few miles from Yellowstone proving hot magma is on the move. Here’s what has scientists concerned:

Since late summer 2013, the Yellowstone GPS network has tracked a small ” ground deformation episode” in north-central Yellowstone National Park.

During the past five months, the NRWY GPS station has recorded about 3.5 cm (1.4 in) of uplift (the ground is rising) and about 1 cm (0.4 in) of southeastward ground movement, relative to a stable reference station north of the Park.

Measurements from other GPS stations in northern Yellowstone show smaller displacements, forming a circular pattern of deformation (circular — as in the round mouth of a volcano) consistent with a minor pressurization (building-up underground), about 6 to 10 km (4-6 miles) deep, near Norris Junction.

What has scientists very concerned is that Yellowstone has suddenly begun emitting massive amounts of Helium-4. Helium-4 seems to be the predictor of activity, as proved with other volcanos.

Sounds like the timing was perfect for the introduction of my new book on disaster preparedness. Unfortunately I’m about to relocate to a part of the country that could be affect by that bad boy! :(

Between Hannibal, Mo. and Natchez, Ms. bridges most likely no river crossing. I-40 bridge was upgraded but the approach ramps would need a rebuild if the span survives. River crossings for utilities damaged.

Dean Ings toilet paper roll fallout filter might work for volcanic fly ash.

Yes, that’s true, and imagine what that would do to the movement of commerce by rail and truck.

Don’t count on it. It could just be the event they will “not allow to go to waste”.

Most of the country east of the Mississippi would be fine. So would SoCal and maybe all of the PNW. I think Texas would be ok, too. The affected area would be the most conservative Midwestern and Mountain states with the largest amount of row crop and cattle production. Oil production in NoDak would be impacted by ashfall. Pipelines run through the affected areas.

The world would see reduced sunlight and reduced crop growth. Think this winter is bad? Next year could be 10x worse if Yellowstone blows. People would be clamoring for Big Government to “do something”. EPA would fulminate about the overload of particulate matter and effectively block wood burning and energy production in the rest of the USA. Those who made it out of the ash zone would be displaced persons. Historically, that is not a great category.

Frankly, I can’t see a silver lining.

And maybe they will declare war against Russia, arrest those in the USA that take sides with Russia and will place them in internment camps labeled as traitors.

Sooner than later this country needs something to shake it up, may be this will be it. So far mankind has had a pretty easy ride, without too many natural disasters but eventually our luck may run out.
