Thanks for that graphic. I think even drudge has something up on it now. If anything ever did happen it would be a life changing event worldwide. A lot of people dont realize the destruction such an event would do to the planet. Mt St Helens would be a very tiny burp in comparison.

You’re welcome!

I saw the Discovery Channel program about the supervolcano at Yellowstone—absolutely boggles the mind the size of that caldera and the possibility of complete annihilation of life here as we know it if it erupts again! {shudders}

1) Swarms like this are routine at Yellowstone.

2) Only a tiny fraction of the eruptions at Yellowstone are supervolcanic. There have been 30+ eruptions since the last supervolcanic one. None of these were catastrophes beyond the boundaries of the park.
