Wouldn’t surprise me if it blew. The way things have been going this year, it does seem like a “year of catastrophes”.
Is there an index for land value changes in Wyoming? /trolol
Does it matter?
If we had a good amount of advance warning, I think the best mitigation strategy would be: "Everyone move off the North American continent and go find someplace else to live for a few years."
IOW I ain't gonna worry about this.

Finally! Something to get all of those loud-mouthed actors and actresses to MOVE out of the USA!
Go, Mother Erf! GO!
When it blows..... that’s THE END!
“U.S. Geological Survey puts the rough yearly odds of another massive Yellowstone blast at 1 in 730,000—about the same chance as a catastrophic asteroid collision.”
Sometimes I feel as if The Universe does NOT have MY best interests in mind and is going to do whateverthehell She WANTS to do! ;)

Oh noeeee! We’re all going to die....in 150,000 years. Quick, run!
Remember to stock up on your emergency food supply. After all, Glen Beck says so. OH Brother..Oh yes, he has it himself. Friggan kook.
Here is the thing. As it says, there is a very remote chance of a super eruption. There have been many smaller St Helen sized eruptions. Nobody knows.
If there was a super eruption, about 1/2 to 2/3rds of the earths population would die off. The volcanic winter would last for about ten years-at least that is what they think by comparing past super eruptions. So we could expect an ice age to form which would last for years and years-at the very least, a mini ice age.
So the survivalists would live for how much longer? Unless as the prior post states, that you are prepared to move to another area of the planet, your toast. But I cant fault anyone for trying though.
I do not know if anyone knows, but the last volcanic eruption around Flagstaff Az was about 600 years ago. The whole of the west is covered with cones, and many are not extinct. I.E-the Long Valley caldera in CA is very active and will most likely go before Yellowstone ever would. Matter of fact, they say that the magma is actually higher than the valley around there. It has intruded into the mountains and hills above the valley. THAT ONE, is truly a ticking time bomb.
Wherever I go I hope there’s Rum!
It has also been thought that the melting of sea ice at the poles and the resultant rise in sea levels in effect squeezes the tectonic plates. The resultant subductive pressure in the magmatic reservoir causes upward flow.
If there is a tiny breech in the mantle above the reservoir, the increased magmatic pressure resultant from the climate change induced pressure abnormality will almost certainly result in an eruption. The earthquake swarms can be taken as proof of the increase in tectonic squeeze
Sodom and Gomorrah -like event.
I’m a-scared...think we should throw Algore in a volcano as a sacrifice to Mother Nature.
Hope we get enough advance notice that a Gorbal Warlming Conference can be arranged...in West Yellowstone.
If it blew, we would all die in something like a Cosmic Winter. If you didn't freeze to death, you'd starve.
Yellowstone Supervolcano May NOT Rumble to Life Faster Than Thought
When conditions are right, it doesn’t take any time at all for a mountain/caldera to fill...
Remember Mt. St. Helens?
