Yellowstone National Park is sitting on top of a supervolcano and scientists say that it just took a "deep breath."
you have to question the validity of the scientist when his name is "coocoo"
You're looking at another Ice Age if that monster blows up and I'm not talking about a pixar film. Looks like the Mayans were right, and the cycle continues.
I was talking to a ranger there last summer and he was relating the story of a husband and wife who wanted to camp, but the wife kept insisting they had to have a campsite outside the caldera and away from the volcano. He calmly explained that the last time the volcano went off the it blanketed everything all the way east to the Mississippi River and thus it wouldn't matter where they stayed in their visit to the park if it happened, to no avail.
Here's a few quick pics I took there last year. You see evidence of a really nasty volcano all over the park.
If that blows up, pack everything quickly and come south of the Equator ASAP. We're gonna be a bit crowded but we'll have a good time
Dr. Kaku is also telling people not to panic because the volcano could blow at any moment...within the next one hundred thousand years.http://amfix.blogs.cnn.com/
Avoid a natural disaster to get killed by an 11 year old boy with an ak. I'm good.If that blows up, pack everything quickly and come south of the Equator ASAP. We're gonna be a bit crowded but we'll have a good time
Even when puny 'ol Mt. St Helens blew, the blast area was rather large.
Satellite photo, day of the blast:
Blown down trees, 10 miles away:
I worked there summer of 2009 and am very familiar with all the hype. I'll believe the eruption when it actually happens - it's been "ready to blow" for tens of thousands of years, and every once in a while someone goes "OMG THE SKY IS ING FALLING." The volcano probably sighed because it's exasperated.
If it ever does blow, and you decide you want to survive (you might not. society will fall), take a gun for backup, and go to Lowes or Home Depot and get the finest exclusion dust mask you can get. Most of the people that die from the eruption will die long after from inhaling the dust, which isn't really "dust" in the traditional sense, it's tiny sharp fragments of volcanic glass. You'll cut your lungs to ribbons and drown in your own blood and lung fluid.
Sounds like a good pickup line.
2012. i dont think everyone will die though, just millions.
not me, thats for sure
i'm like, indestructible.
plus you'd have to be pretty soft to die from a super volcano thats like 1,500 miles away
Nah, you'd die in food riots when our entire agricultural output would drop off in the ter.
I'm not reliant on others feeding me, like you people are
Magma chamber is way too deep to signify an imminent eruption.
The last few months of 2011 are really going to suck.
Balli would be the first one gone tbh.
rofl DPG got right into Balli's head that one time.
it's december of 2012 dummy, we still have almost two whole years, but yeah, you'll probably die
I said south of the equator, that's South America, not Los Angeles
