spud the mackem Posted October 13, 2017 #3 Share Posted October 13, 2017 Yea it has a limited shelf life, but the same thing was quoted more than 45 years ago, around the time the guys were going to the moon, which eclipsed the Yellowstone story. 1 Top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Essan Posted October 13, 2017 #4 Share Posted October 13, 2017 Since it has long been expected to erupt sometime in the next few thousand years - and , if anything, an eruption is overdue - it cant erupt earlier than thought They mean, it could erupt with less warning than previously thought. the question is: if there were signs of an eruption within the next 20 years, what would the POTUS do?

Solipsi Rai Posted October 13, 2017 #5 Share Posted October 13, 2017 I'm more worried about a M8+ earthquake along the San Andreas fault in CA than the Yellowstone caldera "supereruption" prediction. Not sure how much area it will devastate, might be as far away as Salt Lake City, UT or the Canadian border in Montana. Volcanic ashfall clouds can cover most of the mainland US, parts of Canada and even travel across the Atlantic to western Europe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nzo Posted October 14, 2017 #6 Share Posted October 14, 2017 There is literally nothing we can do about it. It spans 3 U.S. States if I am not correct. Drilling holes may actually make the problem infinitely worse. Now we get Doomsday scenarios from the academics as well as psychologically damaged individuals. Enjoy your lives, dont hurt anyone or anything and dont worry about the doomsayers. Newsflash you were born to die. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glorybebe Posted October 14, 2017 #7 Share Posted October 14, 2017 (edited) I have been aware of this and my thought is what would happen if there was a shifting in the San Andreas? Would that increase the threat or reduce it? If western US was bombed by NK, could that increase the likelihood of an eruption due to the tremors caused by explosions? We have seen how some studies link fracking to small earthquakes Edited October 14, 2017 by glorybebe Typing on my mobile with spell check and I still make typos!

+DanL Posted November 20, 2022 #10 Share Posted November 20, 2022 IF the idiot that runs North Korea were to launch a missile I seriously doubt that it would get a hundred miles out of their air space before we shot it down... AND then blew huge parts of North Korea into dust. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MysteryMike Posted November 21, 2022 #11 Share Posted November 21, 2022 When you say sooner, that could mean thousands of years from now. Nothing to worry about, move along. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
