No I believe I read somewhere that we are about 300 years past the 642,000 years.

Not true from the projectins I’ve seen.Yes all of the west will be gone under about 400’ of ash but at about the mid way point of Indiana the ash levels will drop to less than 3’ and every mile drop by more.The east should survive as long as they don’t breath the dust and have supplies put up for the long winter that follows.

I have no idea but that date seems to be the one I keep seeing people pick? Good point about the 666 x2. :((

Come down the 395 and be sure to stop at Mammoth and check the fissures in the earth up there....

We're due. The bad news if we're up s**t creek if it goes. The good news is that if humanity can survive Lake Toba (worst eruption in 25 million years), it can likely survive Yellowstone. The last Yellowstone eruption was estimated at 1/2 of Toba.

Although if it looks like it's going to blow, I better have lots of warm clothes, ammo, hunting knives, nonperishable foods, greenhouse materials, seeds, gasoline/generators, tools, fire materials, and lots of distance between me and the big city.

Why don’t we find some way to drain off the energy and use it?

Can we move it to LA, SF or Seattle? [Washington DC is just too much to hope for at this point]

"If Yellowstone blows, we’re all cooked. Literally."

Exactly. Anyone who thinks they'll survive this 'blow' is dreaming.

If someone survives, it'll be accidental and not due to some plan to do so.

The last super-volcano was Toba, 74,000 years ago:

Late Pleostocene Human Population Bottlenecks. . . (Toba)

"The evidence from the Toba eruption indicates that the world's population of Modern Man was reduced to a total of around 10,000 adults.

Let’s drill a deep hole to let the pressure off....

Yes, and you can stand there along side the drill to make sure it's done right, OK?

Bless you son, and good luck!! :D

Oughta take about ten minutes to get from Yellowstone to our back door. If it pops off, don’t bother asking where we went - we’ll be fly ash and air pollution.

Great. I am just outside the previous ash fall estimate. This would place me just inside. Not that it would matter much.
