So on the good to bad scale “pushing earth” is how high?
Well, it looks like we won’t be having to debate the assorted Obama follies much longer...
[and you think it was all over]
It’s never over till Obama has a trillion dollar bailout plan for it.
If the entire U.S. of A. is covered in 2 to 100 feet of volcanic ash, who do we apply to for a bailout?
Boy, it just gets better and better, doesn’t it?
Awww, geez. As if 0bama isn’t enough.
The red outline almost looks like Obama’s face.
It is a sign! He is the messiah!
/sarcasm intended
Damn Obama! His fault the jerk!
Who do we blame? Is this President Bush (43) or is it a side-effect of the Cheney-Rove weather machine?
All right people, just calm down. Yellowstone ain’t gonna blow. That event might harm some of those precious wolves.
So, the message we get from this is: I you’re taking the family to Yellowstone this summer, go in early spring - while it’s still there.
And sing along with Jimmy Buffet: ...I don’t know. I don’t know. I don’t know where Ima gonna go when the volcano blows.
I hoped it was over.
Yellowstone has about 15 calderas actually. The shapes of the mountains as you follow the Snake River into Idaho you can see somewhat on a relief map of the area. It is a wonder of geo-thermal activities. Even “Old Faithful” is out of time to a certain degree. But how does one know when its going to blow? 640,000 years ago or so. I love the park, it is always changing.
....and my apologies to Flavious for stepping on his lines and not paying enuff attention.
OK. Can we drop a big heat pipe into it and hook that up to a generator?
There was a map in the recent past predicting that the ash would blow straight south. There’s no way, and that’s an error. The Caldera is not on the west coast any more, and the weather must be considered.
It would only blow to the west-southwest for a couple of hundred miles during the middle of winter. Beware in states to the east, then the Great Lakes area.
As for the ash, we’re not cave people any more. Plan and build filtering for your houses, if it comes to that. For those of you with enough land, build more indoor spaces with plenty of windows to the south. And stock-up on dust masks, rain coats (with hoods or hats) and ski goggles.
And if it happens, gardening will be great afterward.
