What a horrible way to die. Most probably knew it was coming but couldn't outrun it. Very sad.

Oh, man. That is not a good way to go...I hope those figures are way overstated.

I hope they're overstated as well, but they could also be understated.

At this point, I'd imagine that Drudge pulled that number out of his dopey hat.

FOX has got some hellish photos of this, looks like. Unbelievable.

Makes you wonder when you consider that Yellowstone is one big volcanic caldera, the only saving grace being that it is farther from populated areas than this; on second thought, given its size, it's not far enough.

It says that 100,000 are "missing" - - I read a report in the Wash ComPost this morning that 100,000 had fled to Rwanda - - maybe that's where they're at....hopefully, not under that mass of lava.....

That's odd. MSNBC said that 500,000 have evacuated.
