Title: Earthquakes, Supervolcano, Its happening

Get that extra jar of peanut butter.  Not that it would matter much.  This could dust out the world and kill all living creatures here except roaches and anerobic bacteria.  I did not copy over all of it.  Click and read.

Yellowstone Supervolcano Hit by a Swarm of More Than 400 Earthquakes in One Week
By Hannah Osborne On 6/19/17 at 11:55 AM


Updated | Yellowstone supervolcano has been hit by a series of earthquakes, with more 400 recorded since June 12. The latest was recorded on Monday, June 19, with a magnitude 3 earthquake striking 8.6 miles north northeast of West Yellowstone, Montana.

The swarm began last week, and on June 15 saw a magnitude 4.5 earthquake take place in Yellowstone National Park. “The epicenter of the shock was located in Yellowstone National Park, eight miles north-northeast of the town of West Yellowstone, Montana,” scientists from the University of Utah, which monitors Yellowstone Volcano, said in a statement.

“The earthquake was [reportedly] felt in the towns of West Yellowstone and Gardiner, Montana, in Yellowstone National Park, and elsewhere in the surrounding region.”

Well that is the stuff of nightmares BIG Time.

Suggest people get the stuff to make windmills, grow tents and UV lamps to go with your seed banks.

I'm glad that my sister and her husband took my advice. I'm interested in Rocks and Minerals, so by default, I'm an amateur Geologist. They were going out to Yellowstone every summer to work for the park and were living in West Yellowstone while working. I told them that the number of small earthquakes was increasing and they better consider not going back out there because the Super Volcano was probably getting ready to go. Two years ago, they gave it up. Well, it looks like its right around the corner now. The TV folks are playing it up as doomsday but the reality is that here in Virginia, there should be a small amount of ash fallout. The real problem is that my wife's brother lives in Ogden Utah. They're screwed.

We may only get a small amount of ash, but we will get dust cover in the air and high temps of 55-60 in the summer for 3-5 years.  Winter?  Hello, Alaska?

dust masks and eye protection are recommended in North America if it blows.  the ash fall can cause permanent injury.  a good percentage of it is essentially microscopic shattered glass.

No matter how it goes, we will all die.  Starving, while freezing, near blind, in the dark.

Hey Nemo - I'ma think we're ok for now.  no secondary signs, like ground displacement or thermal anomalies.

mostly :)   :stir:

IIRC when Mt St. Helen blew in the 80's the ash was carried half way across the Country and that was a small explosion compared to what a super volcano can do

you are correct Grizz, at least matches my recollection. 
When that <unpronounceable to me> volcano Eyjafjallajokull in Iceland popped, it shut down air travel for awhile i had to re-arrange a flight because of it.
