YELLOWSTONE REGION (INTELLIHUB) — U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) seismology reports conclude that a massive swarm of earthquakes swept through the park triggering more than 60 separate events in which seismographs spiked to magnitudes of up to 5.0. Friday.
Experts fear that the supervolcano is long overdue for an eruption capable of wiping out a vast amount of human, animal, and plant life in the Continental United States.
Scientists currently believe that there’s a 10% chance that a “supervolcanic Category 7 eruption” could take place this century, as pointed out by theoretical physicist Michio Kaku who appeared on a segment for Fox News.
The grey haired physicist told Shepard Smith that the “danger” we are now facing with the caldera is that it’s long overdue for an eruption which Kaku said could “rip the guts out of the USA.”
Kaku said that a “pocket of lava” located under the park has turned out to be twice as big as scientists originally thought.
Scientist concur that the last eruption of the caldera took place some 640,000 years ago.
The U.S. is currently under contract with at least 4 countries all of which have agreed to house displaced U.S. citizens in the unfortunate event the Yellowstone supervolcano were to erupt. Hundreds of billions of dollars were paid to foreign governments to facilitate the agreement which spans a ten year period from its signing, ending in 2024.
An excerpt from an article I authored in April of 2014 titled: “Report: Brazil, Argentina and Australia sign contracts worth hundreds of billions of dollars to house displaced U.S. populace when Yellowstone supervolcano erupts” reads:
The U.S. plan for relocation was formulated after a recent scientific analysis of the park revealed that Yellowstone’s supervolcano has the potential to...

The magma pushed the surface rocks (1/2 mile thick or so cover layer) up” as it flows up from far below the surface. This bulges up the surface far above its original near-level condition. Eventually, the cover rocks break, and the magma (now called lava) is free to spill out of the caldera. But the trapped gasses and steam are violently released in eruptions as the pressure is reduced when the cover rocks fail. So you have combinations of flowing lava (like the Hawaii eruptions) and ejected gas and rock - like St Helens.
I saw on You tube that some roads have been closed. Have you read anything else about this?
If they relocated the West coast liberals to Brazil, or Argentina, that would get rid of some of the commies, and illegals in “sanctuary cities”.
I’m thinking that having a green house, plenty of plastic covers for raised beds, seeds for plants that grow in the shade and cool weather, numerous bags of potting soil, that I often have on hand could become even more useful.
