"Four earthquakes shook the Jackson, Wyo., area early Wednesday morning, including a magnitude 5.0 earthquake that was the largest ever recorded in Teton County."

Oops! I may need to do some grocery shopping tomorrow, lol

Interesting.....

Note that the Snopes site referred to "29 sizable" eruptions in the past 630,000 years, i.e., the odds (using the same math used by the doomies here) are 29/1 that the next big Yellowstone eruption will be "sizable" instead of "super".

Which omits the umpteen non-sizable eruptions in the same period, as in the odds are umpteen to one that the next Yellowstone eruption will be non-sizable.

I certainly hope that nothing drastic happens, but the odds are comfortable that whatever it is will be of only local biological significance.

I went to the source on Yellowstone. Here is an interview I conducted with the USGS Scientists who work on the Yellowstone project:

I suggest you do a new thread for this. It's buried here on this one.

Look at it this way...

1) It will kill off a lot of hippies.

2) It will solve the snowmobile debate.

3) It will give us something exciting to concentrate on besides seeing Kerry implode.

Always a bright to everything I guess (even the end of the world).

LoL!

Thanks for posting that. You should run a new thread as breakem mentioned. Very good stuff!
