DENVER (KDVR) — On Tuesday, visitors at Yellowstone National Park fled when a hydrothermal explosion occurred a few miles north of the famous Old Faithful geyser. No one was injured, but the event destroyed a nearby boardwalk and prompted officials to close the Biscuit Basin area of the park for the rest of the year.
As alarming as the video and subsequent damage seemed, the phenomenon is a normal, common occurrence at Yellowstone, happening at least once each year. Officials with the U.S. Geological Survey told Nexstar hydrothermal explosions like the one that occurred this week are “not a sign of impending volcanic eruptions.”

Or find deep cave
Well all those prediction of days of darkness on the internet will pan out if Yellow stones goes.
The moon was made of green cheese, how would it impact the U.S.??
Ask a silly question and you get another silly question.
There are far too too many variables with any possible Yellowstone valcanic eruption to know or predict ahead of time what the impact might be. It’s a guessing game.
“If Yellowstone’s volcanic system erupted, how could it impact the US?”
Depends on the scale of the eruption...
IIRC geological samples reveal an enormous desimination of ash covering the area presently known as the United States. If memory serves strata reveals 2 such events in geological history.
Addy Bink? Where do these names come from?
What were the parents thinking?
Agreed.
“How would grocery prices be affected if the sun exploded?”
We are probably being fed a steady diet of AI generated nonsense ‘news’ content.
Boomably
How bad was Mt. Saint Helen’s eruption?????
That was the worst eruption ever in the United States...
Alaska?
Yellowstone would hundreds to thousands of time more impactful. Tens of millions would starve world wide.
2 words come to mind: Game Over.
I did a search on St Helen and that’s what I read...
Again, it depends on how bad the eruption is...
Maybe even the cave man wasn’t so dumb after all they survived many types of events?.
Aren’t volcanic eruptions like earthquakes??? They vary in size and proportionality...
Someone needs an editor. Near the end of the article, the author switches from Yellowstone to Yosemite.
If the Yellowstone Caldera goes say goodbye to Montana, Idaho, and Wyoming.
Depends on the timing. If it happens before the election, Biden can name Kamala the earthquake czar and we will all be safe.
Mayor Pete can run evacuations and the mobilization of relief operations if he’s not on maternity leave again. Timing is important there too.
