Numerous videos of the hydrothermal explosion in Biscuit Basin were recorded by visitors. The boardwalk was damaged. No reports of injury. Biscuit Basin is temporary closed. The Grand Loop road remains open. Yellowstone National Park geologists are investigating the event.

Hydrothermal explosions occur when water suddenly flashes to steam underground. They are relatively common in Yellowstone. An explosion similar to that of today also occurred in Biscuit Basin on May 17, 2009

That would certainly make that visit memorable.

A steam explosion at least not a volcanic explosion.

Still not a lot of fun if you are close.

What was that, 150 - 200 feet tall?

I bet they’ll have a story to share from that visit.

Not as good as an idiot being tossed by a bison.

"A steam explosion at least not a volcanic explosion."

That's on the way I'm sure.

Haven’t there been earthquakes in the area recently?

A lot of those people were like “OOh, it’s an explosion. Let’s stand around and watch.”

I was reading about these Yellowstone hydrothermal eruptions and they can be quite massive. If I was there I would be sprinting away and encouraging others to do so as well.

And that’s why they don’t want you warming up your cans of pork and beans in the thermal pools....

What Happens If Yellowstone Blows Up Tomorrow?

It would be a fitting end to Biden’s reign.

‘At blowed up REALLLL good!

[SaveFerris]

Looks like he was doing what he loved

[logi_cal869]

Assuming that no one was killed from flying rocks...

I saw some big ‘uns.

[Tell It Right]

Queue the “...because of global warming...” hysteria.
