Crustal stretching, that usually happens
at the Cellulite Boundry.
Example: Speaker Pelosi used Botox to stop her
Crustal stretching.
No, but do you think it would be too late to blame Bush?
I blamed Bausch and Lamb.

The hits keep rolling in.
Talk about jumping to conclusions based on limited data.
That “path” down across Idaho is in fact the historical path Yellowstone has followed over history. As the surface plate slowly migrates, the caldera has “moved” eastward across southern Idaho to its current location - leaving that huge flat path of farmland in southern Idaho as it migrated.
One would think, if a volcano is conductive, so also its former location(s) would be.
IMHO that is nothing more than a trail of more-conductive now long since cooled and rock-hard lava from Yellowstone’s travel.
From one caldera to another, right?
It blows and nearly everything east and south east will be in a big hurt due to prevailing winds.
They might even be connected....way down below.

My understanding is that the cooking will be restricted to a few hundred miles around the caldera, and volcanic ash should finish off most of the US west of the Mississippi. I am in Florida and will be ok until the polar caps are melted by this thing.
Interesting data.
>> “DC already blows.” <<

No, DC sucks!
In recent years there was a fascinating National Geographic article showing the past 18 million years of Yellowstone superplume eruptions. Very awe inspiring. I wonder how big the one 70,000 years ago was? If it was big enough, on top of Toba 74,000 years ago, it could really have had an impact on human development. Mankind only began to rebound in numbers about 50,000 years ago. I wonder if Yellowstone was big enough to be an additional blow to man?
