Not a good time for a vist to Yellowstone.

Why does it never occur to any of these ‘reporters’ that Mother Earth is going to do what she WANTS to do...and screw the rest of us? We’re parasites to her. ;)

Man, if that place blows, it’s going to be spectacular.

Not a good time for a visit to Yellowstone? I dunno, the lines at the gift shop and cafe are really short this time of year........

[Red Badger]

If that place blows, Global Warming will be the LAST thing anybody has to worry about............

"They're certainly not normal," Smith said. "We haven't had earthquakes in this energy or extent in many years."

That's not saying much. FWIW, I'll worry when the thing goes quiet.

If you’re going to go see it, do it now while it’s still there.

[Abathar]

Spectacular? Even in Wisconsin you will be having problems if the wind is right.

[mewzilla]

Unless this is harmonic tremor...?

Anyone know?

[SatinDoll]

I’ve read that pretty much the whole National Park is the caldera of a super volcano.

Do you suppose we’re not getting all the information?

And for anyone who can't make it....

What I think is the scientist have no idea what will happen. They are just along for the ride like us.

Hmmm “ He said the quakes have ranged in strength from barely detectable to one of magnitude 3.8 that happened Saturday”

??? it is not on the map which should show quakes in the last week???

The lava dome is filling quickly.

[BigSkyVic]

I live about 40 miles north of the park...so if it blows..I guess I’ll be freeping from the ethers 8^)
