Yeah, I guess the only way to know that you will definately not be burnt alive by the lava from the volcano is to get out before it happens. However, most people don't have that option or that care...

i dont think the lava here isnt really the problem, the problem about these super volcanos are the Pyroclastic flows and ash cloud that will rain over most of North America

It could be, if you live really close.

Yeah, the major problem will be the ash that will cloud the sky over a huge portion of the earth.

pretty sure anyone close to the mountain will run away from it before the lava hits the area

Yeah, they should, but remember that movie 'Dontes Peak' (I think, maybe it was volcano...anyway, it had to do with a volcano) where the grandmother was going to stay there?

I certainly hope no one is stupid enough to do that...

It also depends on how fast the lava is moving and how close they live. If anyone is on Yellowstone when it erupts, then there will be problems...Don't rangers and such live in the park?

if they do then thier gone at the first second it goes xD

I think that they do...my mom used to work at a State Park and the rangers and people lived right there at the park.

If I were them, I'd definately be thinking about putting in a transfer.

lol ya, imagine being there or near the volcano when it erupts idd get my ass out of there and run, cept the pyroclastic flow would get me so they better get helicopters

I don't think helicopters would help much either. Between the ash and the debris that would fly out of the volcano, a lot of airplanes and helicopters could go down too...

i dont think itll effect helicopers as much as planes, cuz planes got the engines and ash can slowly plug that up, but a helicopter gots a propeller so i donno if it would take down the helicopters as much

I'm not sure...if it was raining when it happened, then practically nothing would get very far...

true, also seems were the only 2 talking about this lol, i cant even imagine the panic this thing would cause threwout north america

Lol, I know. Where did everyone else go?

Anyway, the panic in North America would be great, but my guess is that it would soon spread to other countries because of the whole ash blotting out the sun scenario.

I dont think that is funny, the panic would spread , especially if the states couldnt help other countries anymore

Who said it was funny?

what did she say that was funny?


anyhoo ya panic would go all around the world due to the sun being blocked and temperatures plummeting, tropical areas would die off, farming would be destroyed, pretty much half the worlds population would prolly die off cuz of the foodd being destroyed and stuff

More than half, I think...think about all of the people who can hardly get food now. More than likely, all of them will die off along with the ones who get food now, but will be unable to in the future. Many animals will die off as well, which means even less food. In some areas, you won't be able to farm until years later...it will definately be our mass extinction. I only hope that both of them don't go at, or near, the same time...

i dont think humans will go extinct... cuz politics like govenors and presidents will hide in thier damn bunkers with enough food till its over -.-

Has anyone of you guys ever experienced a volcano eruption? I was in the Philippines when Mount Pinatubo erupted. Every time I think about it it scares the s**t out of me.

Pinatubo

no i never have been near a erupting volcano and never plan to be, and dont mind me asking but how close were u to it when it erupted?

Then that would be their main downfall. As soon as they run out of food, they will go up above ground. Because they spent all that time beneath the ground and such, they won't know what to do above ground. They won't know how to find food or how to hunt animals...at least they probably won't. But who knows? They could surprise us, lol.

Anyway, I don't know if the human race would survive or not. Yes, we are smart and everything, but there aren't very many effective ways to fight mother nature, you know? I guess, to find out, we'll just have to wait and see what happens...


No, and I don't want to. I could only imagine how much it would scare someone. Now, can you imagine Pinatubo about 1000 times worse? That's the supervolcano...A 'regular' volcano is scary enough, imagine one of these...
Link. <--- That's where I found out that a supervolcano can be as devastating as 1000 volcanos.

well i guess we'll have to wait and see what really does happen

Yep.

*waits*

Lol, I think you're going to have a lot longer to wait than that. In fact, I'm hoping it doesn't happen!

well sorry to say but as much as u hope it doesnt it will i heared theres a bible code that in the year 2010 the world will go in chaos, gloomyness, ash, etc so i guess theres some theorys itll go off in 5 years, imazing that within the next 20 years theres suppose to be a asteroid going by earth, super eruptian and a mega earthquake in california

Yeah, there have been a lot of 'doomsday theories' in the past, but to have so many of them clumped together in only a few years? I think that if the doomsday stories hold any truth, that the world, or our world at least, will end in 2012.

...Do you think that comething similiar could have happened on Mars?

its possible, but i think it was a giant asteroid that ended mars's life, i dont think any natural disaster on mars could have damaged it the way it is now...

and i think most of our major disasters are all gonna spring at the same time, maybe a ice age will come after the super eruptian? we never know till it comes, hopefully man kind survives this, imagine being in a space shuttle and witnissing all of it happening at the same time..

I was in the same province were Pinatubo was. Luckily for us there was an early bulletin about the eruption so we were asked to evacuate the town. It wasn't the actual eruption that scared me the most it was the "lahar" as the locals call it. Mud flow. Imagine a river full of lava. It totally engulf the whole province. The ash fall was horrendous as well.

well thats good it was evacuated, did u see the eruptian happen?

Yes, indeed. We were on a van going towards Manila, the capital city, it was like cotton candy from afar. It was an awesome but scary site. I remember it rained hard with thunderstorm and then ash fall...it was like snowing.

thats scary, good thing that town was evacuated

If it deos happen i wanna be there.

crazy winnipegers lol why the heck do u wanna be there?

Sad thing is still many people died because they didn't want to leave their houses.

I'm almost sure you don't wanna be there if it happens.

ya i agree, neo ur mad lol

well Yellow stone is considered a highly threatening volcano out of the other 55 on the list hehe

i wouldnt dought if it would erupt soon, it prolly will, my guess is within the next 5-20 years

Scientists predict that it could erupt right this very second or 100 years from now.
No one knows for sure.

BOOM

there it goes

id laugh if the moment i said BOOM and entered it that the volcano did blow.. then id be like.. o crap lol

Then do I get to blame it all on you?

Lol, jk.

haha, u can but you got no proof! *erases my last posts before the CIA and FBI find it*

God, you guys are really waiting for it to blow, aren't you? LOL

Lol. Actually, I'd rather it didn't, but there's no way to lighten a mood like joking about it.

I mean, if it's gonna go, you might as well get a few more laughs in, right? There's nothing you can do to stop it.

Nope, there's nothing you can do to stop it. But, remember to stay flexible so when it does you can bend over and kiss your arse goodbye.

thank god i dont live in America lol

So that means I'm safe....

Y'all may not get the lava in your back yards, but you'll definately get the after effects...

I see what you mean...well then, might as well wait here with you guys. At least we all die laughing
