Always be ready to meet your Maker.

Time to run away I say, let the Moslims and south of the border conquistas have it.

They want America so much let them deal with it.

If its going to happen there is nothing mortal man can do to stop it, best to just get away from it.

Yes. They need to release some pressure there. Let the lave flow instead of explode. I have to think engineers can figure this out.

I do not know about Long Valley, but I DO keep a close watch for any info on Yellowstone activity.
An eruption of that caldera could pretty much end America as we know it, but Obambie is just as bad.
With the Marxist in charge, America may be gone by 2012.

My other area of interest is the New Madrid fault, as it runs through former home location (Memphis).
One thing that really troubles me is that the more recent tall buildings (1960+)are all concrete, with no structural steel.
Remember, the last big earthquake (1812) caused the Mississippi River to flow backwards.
Here is an interesting site, http://newmadridearthquake.com/
They have posted info on the Japan quake.

"Environmental activists also remain wary about continued oil drilling in areas adjacent to the park... .In California, the Long Valley Caldera was hit by a series of strong quakes in the late 1970's. "Unrest in the area persists today," the USGS explains."

So much for credibility. "Unrest"? Well, there it is. That's what it's all about. The volcano god is angry. Meanwhile, scientists (environmental activists) are reading the goat entrails in an attempt to see into our future. I am reminded of a jaw-dropping interview conducted immediately after the Loma Prieta quake in 1989. An "expert" with the USGS went on national TV to proclaim that "the earth itself is violently angry with what man has done to it. It's expressing its outrage." Stranger still, nobody questioned the absurdity of that statement. It's not unrest. It's a zone of seismic and volcanic activity. Quake swarms and lava domes come and go, and have been doing so since the beginning of time. The ground shakes, and thunder clouds fill the sky. Japan gets hit with the biggest quake in over a thousand years, and we want to know why. Will the same fate befall us...have we displeased the volcano god? Bad things happen to good people, and we seek an explanation. Yellowstone and its caldera will still be here when your children's' grandchildren arrive to play atop it. The sun will rise tomorrow. Dress appropriately.

Life on Gods little green earth is very fragile.

The earth changes. Adapt or die.

[Paleo Conservative]

Probably not till 2012.

Apocalypse Schamakalypse.....there are 2 causes...

1. the abandonment of KYOTO...

AND..

2. PALIN hate-speech.

“Over 5,000 wells have been drilled to date, with another 10,000 approved during the course the Bush Administration, Joseph reports”.

Well, at least when it does blow, we’ll know who to blame...

[montanajoe]

Well, Yellowstone is far less geologically active than when Colter first described it eg the geysers are fewer and smaller. When I was growing up conventional wisdom was that the next eruptions was 100,000 plus years away.

On the other hand, maybe stories like this will keep fewer out of state nuts from moving in so it might be a good thing...

Pressure relief valves?

[silverleaf]

Oh, get some popcorn and watch “2012”

I especially like the parts where the Yellowstone ash destroys Las Vegas and Chicago, and tidal wave from “the Chesapeake Bay” drops an aircraft carrier on the White House

[Ditter]

Did not know of the Santa Fe NM caldera.

[blueunicorn6]

What about the wolves??? Shouldn’t they be relocated to someplace safe like San Francisco?

[Jack Hammer]

Keep your suitcase packed always - you never know when you may be called upon to check out.

[Dr. Sheldon Cooper]

That would trigger worldwide crop failures and radically alter weather patterns.

Fortunately the underground Presidential golf course, funded with TARP, warmed and cooled with secret nuclear reactors paid for with Defense funds trimmed from missile defense, whose groundskeepers are Mexican Hamas immigrants, will be OK.

Idaho is home to two calderas along the Snake River Plain, known as Island Park and La Garita.

Aren't those just earlier events from the Yellowstone hot spot.

[Gaffer]

Well, crap.....I guess we should have them shut down the Nuke Power Plants there.....no, wait...um...um.....already taken care of ......TMI and the ecoweenies have fixed that..
