BTW, there is magma in the hills around there that is higher than the valley floor.
Hundred miles from San Francisco... Pelosi needs to ‘stay with her people’ and show them how brave she is... and NOT come to Florida.
I know this is strange - because most liberal hysteria is BS - but this one concerns me...
“We’re all gonna die, sir.”
GOD CONTROLS THE CLIMATE AND HE CONTROLS VOLCANOES.....DEAL ITH IT LIBERALS!
I don’t know where I’m a-gonna go when the volcano blow.
But, could it blow someone’s mask off and cause COVID to spread?
A Super volcano eruption anywhere, would darken the sky for months, all over the globe, scatter ash all over the globe and within a thousand miles of the crater have ash build up to several feet thick.

It happened in 535 ad, maybe twice, once in Indonesia and once in Mexico. The following years without summers killed off a large portion of the Holy Roman Empire. It replaced grain-eating Europeans with goat and cattle eating people from the asian steppes.
“It’s about 100 miles east of San Francisco.”
100 miles too far east.
Note Mt St Helens in 1980 down in lower left corner at 0.25 CK{cubic kilometers} (VEI=5 each step in the scale representing an explosivity increase of 10X) and Pinatubo in 1991 at 5 CK (VEI=7).
Long Valley 580 CK of dense rock last major eruption - small as super volcanoes go. Ash thickness at 16 kilometers = at least several meters.
Wah Wah Springs, Utah - 30,000,000 years ago 5,500 CK at estimated VEI of 8
It happened in 535 ad, maybe twice, once in Indonesia and once in Mexico.

They are not known to be super volcano eruptions - large but not as big as once thought.

And pyroclastic flows usually don't take the highway.
Can I find this written in comprehensible English?
Ever Simple English will work.
Is it possible to drill into magma to release it in less explosive events? I know it is deep, but the alternative is not a good one.
June Lake Loop is one of the prettiest areas. Too bad it’s in CA.
Pile up ice on it.
In what way?
Spent many vacations hiking and fishing up there and Reds Meadow, Devils Post-pile. Fond memories.
For years I’ve dreamed of Kalifornia slipping into the sea.And IIRC Steeley Dan as as well!
I saw a list of super volcano eruptions and the most recent one was Taupo in New Zealand around 23,000 years ago.
Quick, put a mask on it.
