Speaking of math challenged, 15.5 is the square root of 240, not the cube root.
You are correct. I was thinking everything between Yellowstone and the river. It didn’t occur to me right away that the areas west of the area would be largely spared.
Anyway….it’s a fun mental exercise. But in reality it’s one of those “it’s just too big and bad” to get excited about.
I guess the east coast shouldn’t put away their snow shovels.
yeah but they live in Jellystone so they’ll be fine.

Yeah! N0! Jellystone is just 305 miles to the north and would be in the 1st wave kill zone.
I suggest immediate action be taken to preserve those natural treasures. I will start a ‘go fund me’ page.
The friggan idiots!
Went and visited the Long Valley Caldera last fall and ran into a couple guys taking samples there for the USGS keeping an eye on that one.
I had a nice discussion with those kids. Managed to give them a little info on the Midcontinent rift or Keweenawan Rift which they had heard of, but never got a chance to really read up on it. The study of geology is so vast that one has to concentrate on a specific thing and try to gather “some” information on other things as one goes along.
It was right about the time the minor earthquakes were hitting OK and TX. We all agreed that since that rift is still rebounding from the glaciers, that earthquakes will most likely occur for century’s along that region.
Up at Eagle Harbor in the UP of Michigan, you can stand on the exposed crust of the earth, meaning if you try and dig to get under that rock, you wont be able to, it IS the earths crust. Not sediment, but the actual crust. It just happens to be very thick.
And low and behold..a while ago one of these panic punks put up a click bait post on youtube claiming a hot spot under that crust. YA there was! Over a billion years ago!
Quite ironic about “math challenged.” You mean a 1-mile high SQUARE 15.5 miles on each side. The cube root of 240 is about 6.21.
Oh...snap...lol
Thank you for calling me out!!
Who’s the moron?
...um...that would be me
Dammit!
I’m blaming beer
Thank you for calling that... lol
(Emily Patella voice)...”never mind”
6.2 miles on a side.
Now time for more beer and Les Nesmond
You expect us to believe a government agency? They only tell us what they want us to know. (See UFOs, our banking system, and our illustrious FBI).
Jet stream generally blows west to east.😎
Not refundable haha...You bought it, you keep it!
see post 61.
I owned it Mr Rubitinski =o)
No worries. What’s a dimension one way or the other? Enjoy the beer. Might have one myself.
That was the second of two snot bubbles I laughed into my beer today.
Thank you for that.
Cheers
I see what you did there
