In other words it would be equal to Hillary being elected president.

Dead bison.

"So I wonder if old Stan is now a believer."

I expect so.

[U S Army EOD]

He would not describe the event if he didn't survive.

Eyewitnesses said it was dark.

How could they know?

I mean, it was dark and all

We had this report last last week (Aug 21)that should be of interest...

Earthquake felt in Yellowstone National Park

[Kay Ludlow]

bump for later reading...

"We had this report last last week (Aug 21)that should be of interest..."

Thanks, I saw that.

I wonder if this is one of Chouet's long period events?

[MissAmericanPie]

Sorry, Mammoth Mountain in California is suppose to be an even bigger explosion when it goes than Yellow Stone.

"Sorry, Mammoth Mountain in California is suppose to be an even bigger explosion when it goes than Yellow Stone."

Nah, Yellowstone is 28x47 miles

[blam]

Sunday bump.

[Domestic Church]

28 X 47 miles!!!!!!!!!!!!! A Volcano!!!!!!!!!!

One heck of a celestial spanking when it fires up!

I would imagine something that big would trigger many many other major earthquakes as well.

Hope you like spam well done.

Yellowstone is going to blow? Wonderful, where is my hat? The tin-foil one?

Now you did it! I hope it blows tomorrow now just to prove you wrong!

It seems like something that large wouldn't all blow at one time anyway. The total of ash and gas and whatever else comes out of volcanos would be immense, but if it cascades over even a couple days it would be possible for a lot of people to get away. For the time being. What comes later, global winter maybe, would follow the script. A couple cool summers, a couple wet winters, maybe even an Ice Age. Some people would probably say we deserved it.

Actually, I believe in the case of these cauldera volcanos that the magma pools in a large reservior under the surface under high pressure. The high pressure keeps trhe gases trapped in the magma from expanding. A sudden release of pressure would cause all the gas trapped in the magma to expand at once causing an explosion rather than an eruption. They say the sound would be heard around the world. When they say "explosion", I assume they mean a time period of minutes or hours instead of a couple days would be all it would take to release several hundred cubic miles of magma.

I was kidding too. My sister in law is thinking about buying a small cabin in the Yellowstone area & I have convinced her its not going to blow for 1000 years. I want to use her cabin. ;9}

Hey, I don't make this stuff up. The truth is astonishing enough, huh?

"From: U. S. National Park Service Website, Geology Fieldnotes - Yellowstone National Park, April 2000

At the heart of Yellowstone's past, present, and future lies volcanism. Catastrophic eruptions occurred here about 2 million years ago, then 1.2 million years ago, and then 600,000 years a go. The latest eruption spewed out nearly 240 cubic miles of debris. What is now the park's central portion then collapsed, forming a 28- by 47- mile caldera (or basin). The magmatic heat powering those eruptions still powers the park's famous geysers, hot springs, fumaroles, and mud pots. The spectacular Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone River provides a glimpse of Earth's interior: its waterfalls highlight the boundaries of lava flows and thermal areas. Rugged mountains flank the park's volcanic plateau, rewarding both eye and spirit.

I know you aren't making this up...and I fear that this could be the "cleansing" that many expect. I'm just wisecracking because I'm boggled by the enormity of it and the geologic reactions to such an explosion would be "Biblical" in and of themselves.

"I'm boggled by the enormity of it and the geologic reactions to such an explosion would be "Biblical" in and of themselves."

I believe this one (linked below) may have been the end of 'Soddom and Gomorrah' and provided the imagery for Revelations. This crater wasn't discovered until Saddam drained the homeland of the 'Swamp Arabs.'

This is why the cretins worship at mecca the meteoric black rock?

Just five minutes ago the Weather Channel gave a 'Asteroids and you: It don't look good' segment.

Catastrophism IS fun, but are they trying to tell us something?

[blam]

"This is why the cretins worship at mecca the meteoric black rock?"

Probably. The angel Gabriel reportedly gave the rock to Abraham...many view 'angels' as being meteorites. Gabriel may have been a meteorite?
