Wouldn’t surprise me if it blew. The way things have been going this year, it does seem like a “year of catastrophes”.

we may have far less advance warning time than we thought

Does it matter?

If we had a good amount of advance warning, I think the best mitigation strategy would be: "Everyone move off the North American continent and go find someplace else to live for a few years."

If that thing goes, this could be LITERALLY of biblical proportions. I’m thinking Revelation, Daniel, Ezekiel, Matthew 24, etc.

One decade from now I could very well be dead.Two decades from now I'm very likely to be dead.And if I'm alive three decades from now I'll surely be wising I was dead.

IOW I ain't gonna worry about this.

I can dig it. That’s pretty much my attitude since I got my CLL diagnosis.

Go, Mother Erf! GO!

Yep - can’t really plan for something like that. Those who reside in the areas most affected will meet their Maker a bit before the rest of us...

“U.S. Geological Survey puts the rough yearly odds of another massive Yellowstone blast at 1 in 730,000—about the same chance as a catastrophic asteroid collision.”

Sometimes I feel as if The Universe does NOT have MY best interests in mind and is going to do whateverthehell She WANTS to do! ;)

There is some conjecture among Bible believers that the United States is not found at all in relation to the seven-year Tribulation period. One author, Hal Lindsey, suggested that it might be an atomic attack just after the rapture. Here we have another scenario.

If not saved, folks need to seriously consider their time is rapidly running out. Acknowledge that you have sinned against a holy God and allow Him to pay the sin debt you owe and receive the free gift of eternal life that awaits.

I’d love to meet some FReepers in Heaven!

Reminds me of the scene in “Day After Tomorrow” where Americans were all headed SOUTH ACROSS THE MEXICAN BORDER IN DROVES!

The Mexican Border Patrol was stunned......................

You may have heard this joke:

When you get to heaven, there will be three surprises:

1. You’ll see a lot of folks there you didn’t expect to see there.
2. There will be a lot of people missing that you expected to see there.
3. You’re there.

Also, FWIW. I don’t see the choice as “heaven vs hell”. I see it as “eternal life vs death”.

The next time Yellowstone blows someone could pick up the land for nothing. They’d hit it big if they can hold on to it for another 600,000 years.

Don’t be so grim. You won’t be dead, just pining for the fjords.

Remember to stock up on your emergency food supply. After all, Glen Beck says so. OH Brother..Oh yes, he has it himself. Friggan kook.

Here is the thing. As it says, there is a very remote chance of a super eruption. There have been many smaller St Helen sized eruptions. Nobody knows.

If there was a super eruption, about 1/2 to 2/3rds of the earths population would die off. The volcanic winter would last for about ten years-at least that is what they think by comparing past super eruptions. So we could expect an ice age to form which would last for years and years-at the very least, a mini ice age.

So the survivalists would live for how much longer? Unless as the prior post states, that you are prepared to move to another area of the planet, your toast. But I cant fault anyone for trying though.

I do not know if anyone knows, but the last volcanic eruption around Flagstaff Az was about 600 years ago. The whole of the west is covered with cones, and many are not extinct. I.E-the Long Valley caldera in CA is very active and will most likely go before Yellowstone ever would. Matter of fact, they say that the magma is actually higher than the valley around there. It has intruded into the mountains and hills above the valley. THAT ONE, is truly a ticking time bomb.
