The Supervolcano Under Yellowstone is Alive and Kicking

I remember hearing a ranger saying the exact same thing nearly 50 years ago when I'd work in West Yellowstone for the summers while in high school.
Back then everybody would just yawn, today there are folks who actually worry about this crap. More evidence of the wimpification of America.

Here’s a little bitty teeny tiny one, if anybody’s interested -

How about the 1959 Yellowstone earthquake and landslip which created Quake Lake & threw Old Faithful’s timing off?

We love this place . Packing up right now to head home to Texas . It was a beautiful week and saw everything except moose . Next time !

what if the supervolcano was named Ditka ?

Then keep Jim McMahon away from Yellowstone.

Latest polls show Trump beating everyone except Supervolcano.

Is that the Lucha Libre guy? You know I think his American identity is Jeb something.

Just look at the types running the EPA now. The types that believe that humanity is a virus infecting “Mother Erf”, and that the human population needs to be drastically reduced, maybe even destroying civilization in the process. Some talk about releasing a deadly virus.

You forgot to add your /sarc.

If Ditka had run instead of Keys, Dog Food might be an obscure name known to only Freepers.

Great video...

[nuconvert]

It’s a neat place to visit

It gives you pause to realize that the eruption in that video is less than 1/100th of what they are speculating with Yellowstone.

Which is exactly why I don’t worry about it.

No place to run - no place to hide.

We went to Yellowstone in 2010 and did the 7 mile hole down to the Grand Canyon of Yellowstone. Fishing was out of this world. But it freaked us out. Half way down, the ground became hot to the touch and feet. It seemed to me that this place is going to blow...given our reproach of God these last days...I think it could be a judgment from God like Pompeii, Sodom, or Crete

That would be bad in a way that would make the Krakatoa eruption look like dinner theater. It would make Mt St Helen look like a controlled burn. It would look like the alternate ending to _Armageddon_; heck, it would be Armageddon.

With time for some of us to say, adios. Others, not so much.

[onona]

I can use this though !

Gonna tell my wife, honey, this might be our last night on earth.........
