Nine paragraphs into the story you’re told there’s no cause for alarm.

The poor and minorities hardest hit; they’ll be dying in the streets. Trump’s fault.

On the averages of eruptions, Yellowstone is overdue. So next week is as good a bet as a thousand years in the future.

Must be a slow news day in the old U.K. Yellowstone’s always locked and loaded. Several years ago I read Harry Turtledove’s “Supervolcano”. Harry writes alternate history like Hitler wins WWII and what happens afterwards in the US, UK and Germany and that kind of stuff. His novel about Yellowstone blowing the big one sets the scenes of what happens next and it is pretty frightening. And entertaining at the same time. Harry has a great mastery of humor.

“I’m wondering who the first seismologist will be who asks for a grant to study drilling large wells and venting to relieve pressure.”


Geothermal Energy!

Unfortunately if drilled in Yellowstone, that Genie may not be put back in the bottle. What happens when a balloon is punctured?

Why would anyone want to live above an earthquake fault, let alone puncture a pressurized magna chamber?

The US government already has such a study.

Please let it happen before March Madness.

I hope Texas survives. We’ll need adult supervision to run the rest of what’s left of the USA. Lord knows none of the Western Coastal states can do it.

Certainly not a recent photo...we have several feet of solidified di-hydrogen monoxide on the ground currently.

"occurring beneath the surface of Yellowstone which alerts experts"

"these findings are no cause for alarm"

So, it's an alert, not an alarm.

That would make the status "Code Ivory" as opposed to "Code Eggshell"

"If the Wyoming volcano were to erupt an estimated 87,000 people would be killed immediately and two-thirds of the USA would immediately be made uninhabitable.

The large spew of ash into the atmosphere would block out sunlight and directly affect life beneath it creating a “nuclear winter”.

Women, children, and minorities hardest hit, of course.

I don’t know if it’s statistically abnormal, but there seems to have been a lot of volcanic and seismic activity worldwide lately. I’ve also been noticing public service announcements on TV warning about natural disasters. Do they know something is up?
