BUG OUT SCENARIO for Yellow Stone eruption "Which way do we go?" Huge fight with husband please give input!

Everything you ever need to know about Yellowstone's eruptions. See the historic ash beds from last eruption... just scroll down the page. That should give you a good idea of what areas "could" be safer. LOL

[link to pubs.usgs.gov]

The instant it starts erupting, all the highways will become a parking lot & that's where you'll die.

The roads can't possibly handle EVERYONE driving at the same time.

So unless you leave 2 hours BEFORE the eruption begins...it's a moot point.

right. i'll set my watch right now. let's see.... 2-hours-before-the-eruption. check! got it!

If you have time to get tot the southern hemisphere that is you best chance to survive. However, if you don't have a place to set up shop there you will probably be destroyed by locals. In that case, head into the jet stream.

But you'll probably be dead before too long. If the eruption clouds out the then sun everyone dies. The lucky ones go quickly. The unlucky ones run around getting sicker every moment, watching the world die.

The locals, who are having a hard time surviving already, will NOT take kindly to a bunch of Gringo's showing up and wanting their food, shelter etc..

Gangs run rampant and are WELL ORGANIZED in almost all Central and South American countries and they already are willing to kill regularly OTHER LOCALS who get in their way. You think they will take kindly to a bunch of gringo's showing up on their doorstep?

Unless you are ALREADY ESTABLISHED in South America (own land, live there at least part of the year, know the locals and interact with them already) you WILL BECOME SOIL FERTILIZER rather quickly.

The reality is that Yellowstone is less likely to blow in your lifetime than you are to be hit TWICE by lighting in different storms but during the same year.

BINGO!

Go north now.
Canada or Alaska.
NOW!
If nothing happens you can always come back.

I'd go to somewhere around the 40th parallel like the government has done with all it's important stuff, moving it to Denver or Utah on the 40th parallel. I prefer the 38th parallel myself, since it is 19 + 19.

-The Nobody.

also in southern idaho...the way i understand it, life is gonna be mighty nasty for everyone when this happens...those of us that are close to it will be blessed with death
shrug
go outside and enjoy the show...invite the neighbors over
spending the last moments of your life running is just way more stressful than anyone needs :)

yeh, i guess now we know how the dinosaurs must have felt, huh.....

.

Head for Southern California, It is the land of plenty and year round good weather. Rich valley to mountaintop paved in gold. No need to even work there as the government will provide your every need.

yeh. the prevailing winds probably won't send the Ash Cloud in that direction.

so, you may be one of the lucky ones who actutally lives for a whole year afterwords :)

Good luck

They have been married 22 years. It sounds like they CAN work together just fine. Maybe they are just wanting advise on which way is the safest. I have always wondered that. I am glad they asked the question.

To me, it seemed like a gathering information because they can work together.

This.

People don't realize that if in fact Yellowstone really blows, its over. Nuclear winter. No crops. Better to die at home than be on the run. The atmospheric cloud will affect the entire planet.

Why would anyone want to survive?

We are all going to die someday, death via Yellowstone would be quite awesome. I'd run towards the fucker.

I'm in Colorado. My plan would be to get onto the Western slope of the Rockies and head south into southern hemisphere if possible. Lake titicaca is the highest fresh water lake so that seems like a good destination to me.

depends

if it's big one , you're too close
too late to go anywhere

Wow only a couple of folks on this thread get it.
Yellowstone is a super volcano.that is a ice age maker.not including the glowing rocks it will spew for hundreds of miles.the northern hemisphere will be fooked.
Then the hoards will run south .the whole fountry of mexico will be one giant hwy.
Then south america will run out of food and a giant war will break out.since americans will be invading with guns.we win.

The Yellowstone area is one of the most beautiful places on the planet. I can't imagine abandoning ship when she blows. No one will get out of that area, no matter how good your plans are.

Make your home comfortable and get right with God and the people you love. Enjoy the process of death... its only the be ginning.

Some of know the ice age has already started....

Expect things to get real interesting.

I feel for these people, that's where everyone is going to be looking for food.

And right past Sarah Palin and into non-radioactive Russia.

Might I suggest a blimp, because overland is going to take WAYYY too long and the air quality is going to be very crappy at ground level, even to decent heights for several generations. Moreover, plane engines die quickly in heavy ash, which is why they had to cancel all flights over Europe when Iceland's volcano recently erupted.

Once you get to Siberia by blimp and out of the direct death cloud of ash, you have about 3-5 days to get yourself to the southern hemisphere. If you hurry and have fistfuls of cash, you can charter a private jet to whisk you south, if all the pilots in the northern hemisphere haven't already buggered out to save their own skins, as well as those of their own families.

Stick to just a few degrees below the equator as, eventually, the massive atmospheric cover of ash will make the entire planet cool and fall into a global ice age.

The equator region is the only area that will not be covered in ice.

This is NOT to say that it will remain warm.

It is simply the only area that will not be covered in perma-ice more than a mile thick.

Thus, can you and you spouse STFU about the "best" way to bug out of a Yellowstone when a massive caldera explosion occurs.

You will both be toast, period.

Look, this question isn't about the short term. When Yellowstone blows it takes out the WHOLE Northern Hemisphere. You want to survive you have to get into the SOUTHERN Hemisphere.

Period.

Now, do you want to do that now or later?

This

if it blows it's game over

No way to go ! You all gonna die !

Funny how people rave about relocating to Mexico, Central, and South America. Unless you are Mexican, Hispanic, or some kind of very brown ethnicity they will just laugh at you and eat you for breakfast.

1000x above normal Helium Gas releases are a sure sign something really big is up with Yellowstone...not saying it will erupt but ...in any other volcano it would be a sure sign of it...and 1000x the normal amount of gas release? That would be about fitting for the type of eruption Yellowstone could deliver..at least 1000x more powerful than any normal volcano around those parts, the continued uplift in that area is also a good sign of up and coming trouble...

1) Vertical Ground Displacement as well as horizontal

2) Gas emissions of Helium 1000x the normal level.

3) Earthquake swarms getting more frequent and larger.

4) Cracks forming in ground surface.

I don't know about you..but this all looks pretty convincing to me that Yellowstone is getting ready to do something big..
