I had been watching this super volcano since I was a teen many many seasons ago, way much more activity is happening in and around this area, it should take hundreds if not thousands of years to see changes, except close to its end, its getting time for a big one, its getting scary, it may happen in our life time. and I am a skeptic at heart about this....... I fear for our children.....

Just remember...if you hear a volcano erupting...duck and cover.

My grandparents work at Yellowstone every summer. They love it. I worried about this when years ago I took a college course on volcanoes (inspired to do so by the song "Born to Love Volcanoes" by the Dead Milkmen). I don't worry about it anymore. I think that it would be a really cool way to die. I know that living in Chicago I'm like in the direct ash path, but that's life. I love the city of Chicago, and I'm not going to move because of this (well, until it happens, anyway).

Interesting... interesting...

the age we live in is,,,,,,,, a moments sun rise fading in the grass.
as we age we learn to understand the moment but its all fleeting.
we learn and grow, wanting to leave our mark on the world,
but the more time that passes the more we seem to realize
that alls that worthy is in the moment of the time we Share.
masked by our wants and desires, time unfolds and becomes
our key, but with age it all becomes empty fruit,
the only thing that becomes filling is the moment, but even
that becomes hard to reach when all those around you struggle
to make their mark. to every thing comes a season, but will
the season come to late.

LOL. That's just like when I was in 3rd grade (so about 1990/91) when some guy had predicted a HUGE earthquake for St. Louis and surrounding areas and the teachers had us practice getting under our desks over and over again. ROFLMAO. *gets up, dusts off knees, shakes head, and walks off*

You mean the guy who later got the "Chicken Little" award for predicting an earthquake would happen on the New Madrid fault zone on December 3, 1990? Yep, I remember that day. Hardly anyone showed up at school and we had all these earthquake awareness tips beforehand. I thought the whole thing, with people getting that worked up over some random prediction, was hilarious. And the bad part was the earthquake was supposed to happen a day before my birthday. "Happy bir-rrr-rrr-rr-th-dd-ddd-day too-oo-oo-oo you-uu-uu-uu-uu!"

No, what I was saying is I remember going to yellow stone a few times in my youth, much has changed radically, its something to worry about, I am not saying it will happen in our life times, but soon, vary soon, it may, and our children may end up like the lifeless frozen in time people of Pompey.

on one of the rare occasions i am at a friend's house, and watcha telly, i saw a documentary on the yellowstone supervolcano. and bill bryson's science book ("a short history of everything" - i heartily recommend it) talks about it, too. fascinating stuff.

This Discovery channel had several things on the Yellowstone Caldera, including a Made for TV Disaster Movie about it. It sounds interesting, but from what I understand this area does this occasionally. It would be a horrible thing if it erupted, however.

I think that this area should be watched a bit more like the area around Naples, Italy.--Which is acually BUILT on the rim of a Caldera.

Another question that I have, though, is was the temblor that happened in Yellowstone also tied in with the quake and series of aftershocks that happened in Montana? --I'm not above ruling that out either.

Furthermore, if an Eruption happened in Yellowstone, do you think that it would involve the entire Cadera, or do you think that it might just vent to form a small cone?

We're all going to die.

YAY!! !

Even parts of Europe will be covered in ash. The kind of ash that when you breathe it in it mixes with the fluid in your lungs and creates a cement so you suffocate!

I hate vacuum cleaning.

LOL !
