Not overly worried here, my son works in the atmospheric analysis division at NASA..if he ain’t freaked, neither am I also, if you go to the USGS website and look up Yellowstone, it provides answers to common misconceptions regarding a Yellowstone blast. Granted, the column is over a year old, but the answers are still relevant.
Eat. drink and be merry, for tomorrow, next year, a decade from now or thousands of years — we die.
Yellowstone is one of my favorite places. I have been through Yellowstone 18 times. It might not be until after I buy my dream sports car (still shopping), but I’ll go back again, and again.
If (when?) Yellowstone goes off again I imagine that most of civilization will be gone. Between wiping out our food sources, destabilizing our country (Hey China - let’s attack them now!), and the world wide climate change (colder) that will affect crops around the world for tens of years - it would probably would be best to be in Cody, Wyoming when it blows.
I wouldn’t mind. A cool firearm museum, rodeos every Friday and Saturday night, etc.
Yup. The only reason these doomsday people get on is to draw attention to themselves.
As if anyone can do a thing about it. Everyone will have plenty of time to get out of the way. After that, what the hell they gonna do?
Have fun with your sports car.
If it turns out that the eruption is as bad as some say it will be the whole planet is in the kill zone. How does one prepare for that?
“Have fun with your sports car.”
That is the plan. ;>)
By moving to Cleveland. /s
Imagine what we could do with Mexico with all of its natural resources! I think we should have long ago conquered it! Then we would have had a really tiny border to guard at the south end.
“Yeah, I’m going to wait for some credible evidence, and not some doomsday fetish blog.”
One of the commenters had the exact same video - except it was an ice storm during the day, and it didn’t have that lying time stamp at the bottom.
Looks like fraud all around.
“Komezuka inside the Aso Caldera has a big old crack in it now.”
Just about every picture of Komezuka from whenever has that crack. It’s not related to the recent earthquakes.
Pretty sound thinking...IMO
look again
The video shows the same steam clouds repeatedly.
hmm...makes me happy I live in the Philippines, where we only have to worry about floods, typhoons, earthquakes and Dengue fever.
Of course, ther are a couple dozen other volcanoes in the area, but the one I see out my window is extinct...
Are you talking about the vertical crack on the left? That’s always been there. If that horizontal line near the summit is a crack, then that’s new.
I remember reading once a long time ago, before the Internet, that there really wasn’t any such thing as an ‘extinct’ volcano...........................
I see.
Thanks for that good photo.
