Interesting cluster pattern at Yellowstone. Portentous activity, folks.
I was unnerved by the cluster pattern and it's proximity to the caldera at Yellowstone. I believe Mt. St. Helens behaved the same just weeks leading to her eruption. Anyone got that data?

Scary, man. Here is the image that rattled me:

Go to Wyoming. Look at the hills that have been cut by rivers over the millennia. You will see very thick layers of ash, one after another. Ash layers 30-50' thick.

Odd factoid: Wyoming used to be a rainforest. Quite a departure from the current cold, windy environment. A good consequence: the harsh weather keeps Californians out of the state except for Jackson.

Don't worry about this guy. Science obviously isn't his thing.

In addition to ash traced to Yellowstone they also have entire mountains that have been thrown 100 miles East of the caldera.

An explosion of that magnitude is terrifying to consider.

So we might actually hear or see something of the explosion here in South Texas? We're 1400 miles away. I've heard that previous Yellowstone eruptions left a few inches of ash in the Gulf of Mexico.

Living 500 miles away in Nebraska, I estimate the blast wave will arrive 40 minutes after an event... and the ash cloud 9-10 hours later. Plenty of time to bug out first to the North, then go West to escape the cloud.

That being said, there should be plenty of warnings as the magma pushes up - perhaps helium emissions, earthquakes, displacement... oops, that's already happening.

Some of you people need to really quite watching movies. Blast wave. OK

Lets look at the lava. Do a little research. This hotspot has the same lava as your tropical island that erupts all the time. It could have absorbed some granite, but probably not enough to make it explosive to that extent.

All Wyoming has mountains and has undergone mountain building. This means there are tons of old volcanos and vents everywhere that have nothing to due with Yellowstone. Think about that and all the ash.

If it erupts, it will move some ground to create an opening, then erupt lava, not explode. Anyone telling you different is full of shit.

But all the ash everywhere? Rocky mountains, tons of volcanos, that might explain it.

Re: Interesting cluster pattern at Yellowstone. Portentous activity, folks.
Yellowstone is not dead by any means, its actively getting bigger, quakes are intensifying, but typical USGS fashion you won't get a warning from them until about 10 minutes before it happens.


The USGS is the federal government, in 1980 they were more than willing to help people, i would not count on that now.


The signs you'll see that an eruption is immenent would be constant 3.5+ earthquake 'tremors', harmonics constantly, very strange behavior from animals (bison video doesn't count....), animals will act completely batty.

Other signs will be highly increased gas emissions, sulfur dioxide emissions, etc.


If all else fails, watch the USGS, because they are certainly watching yellowstone, why else would they wire up the entire place if it were dead? If it were dead there would not be any geothermal activity, what do you think is heating all that water so that old faithful can go off?


Use your brains people, it could off next year, next week, 100 years for now, who knows, all you can do is keep an eye on it, as for my opinion 2014 is as good a year as any for it to go kablooey so who knows.
