There's a huge and equally active caldera near Mammoth Mtn. in CA and it's overdue for blowing. Lookout downwind for about 3000 miles! It will be a true bummer. Either Kalipornia will die by earthquake or volcano so we need a government agency's scientific analysis to know for sure (yeah, right!).

Umm, no. Mammoth last had an eruption (very small cinder-cone) 250 years ago, and the last Caldera-Forming superblast was 760,000 years ago. Nyriagongo erupts every few years.

With luck, Congress will pass a law banning volcano emissions and also pass legislation regulating the intensity of all earthquakes that occur in the United States. Other nations will be exepcted to follow. States that decide not to enact the laws will have federal highway and education funds withheld.
