What this rumor about the geyser blowing up like a volcano ??? I heard everything for about 600 miles is going to be wipe out ????:pca1::humm:

CSS it must be night time there :humm:

It's not the geyser. Almost the entire park (2.2 million acres) is sitting inside a caldera, which is basically the crater of an underground super-volcano. Read up on it here:Discovery Channel :: Supervolcano: What's Under Yellowstone?

Here is a small excerpt from the above:

The crater atop Mount St. Helens is about 2 square miles. The Yellowstone "caldera" — a depression in the Earth equivalent to a crater top — is some 1,500 square miles.

The 1980 Mount St. Helens eruption blew 1,300 vertical feet off the mountain, sent an eruption column 80,000 feet high in 15 minutes, ejected 1.4 billion cubic yards of ash detectable over 22,000 square miles, and killed 57 people.

But the last major eruption at Yellowstone, some 640,000 years ago, ejected 8,000 times the ash and lava of Mount St. Helens.


And that wasn't even the largest eruption in Yellowstone's prehistoric past.

If Yellowstone goes we're screwed.

As long as we drive hybrids we're probably be okay though. :howdy:

If it blow will I be O.K.:humm: in FLORIDA, or am I done ????:w2:

If they give us some warning I am headed there for front row seats........what a way to go:humm:

We'll be there next to ya! Think your Shepherds will get along with our Alaskan Malamute?

We're done:ouch: I read that if it blows, most of mankind would be gone:booo:

You may survive the initial blast, only to starve to death during the 20 year "nuclear winter" it creates.

The good news? Scientists and volcanologists figure it's next eruption..... is about 40,000 years LATE!

From the US News and World Report webpage, Jan 2nd:

Over 500 earthquakes, as large as M 3.9, have been recorded by an automated earthquake system since the inception of this unusual earthquake sequence that began Dec. 27, 2008. More than 300 of these events have been reviewed and evaluated by seismic analysts. Depths of the earthquakes range from ~ 1km to around 10 km. We note that the earthquakes extend northward from central Yellowstone Lake for ~10 km toward the Fishing Bridge area, with a migration of recent earthquakes toward the north. Some of the dozen M3+ earthquakes were felt in the Lake, Grant Village and Old Faithful areas. Personnel of the Yellowstone Volcano Observatory continue to evaluate this earthquake sequence and will provide information to the NPS, USGS and the public as it evolves.

We're heading back out there in July!:choochoo: Wanna come along? It's the most beautiful place you ever see!

I would like to check it out, I think the wife wants me to take her to the CAYMAN ISLAND this year & then we have to plan the second place we will go to.
