Yellowstone Alert Level raised to ORANGE!!

What tkwasny said.

I can add that the American public are the last to know what's really going on.

1. "Destruct sequence 1, code 1-1 A."
2. "Destruct sequence 2, code 1-1 A-2B."
3. "Destruct sequence 3, code 1 B-2B-3."



"Code zero zero zero. Destruct. Zero."

why don't they evacuate people from there? i'm seeing people through the cam :S

what the fuck does that mean lmao!

Death will have to march through a lot of us common folk before it reaches DC. They might have time to depart. We have nowhere to go but the next realm.

nonono
we are all out of our tiny little fucking minds remember?
I sincerely hope all the people who live there and think everything is ok are right.

We panic to the death over Black Friday sales inventory shortages. Remember Gulf War 1? Did you know our warriors ran through the entire war in simulators before the 1st air strike wave was launched? Thousands and thousands in simulators. How much did you hear?

The public, not just the American public, are the last to know EVERYTHING.

I know it`s just a movie but if you have ever see Super Volcano the BBC docudrama they have these EXACT event sequences from minor tremors, to a swarm, to eventually harmonics and a huge ELE eruption.

They also have the Federal Gov`t and FEMA getting the USGS agent to lie and tell everyone that everything is normal and to go on about their daily lives all while they know that something major is brewing...

It just doesn`t sit right.

But there is no place to go. Very few lives would be saved. Many more killed in the panic if they were wrong. FedGov would be chicken little for the next 3 generations. The FedGov is in a very tough position. Please think about it. If there was absolute certainty AND (big AND) there was something that could be done early enough, FedGov would pull the trigger.

wow.

or could be tomorrow 01/1111/10

It's from Star Trek. On Constitution-class starships, three senior officers were required to initiate the destruct sequence, using the following, concurrent codes.

Each officer would state their name, rank and corresponding code:

1. "Destruct sequence 1, code 1-1 A."
2. "Destruct sequence 2, code 1-1 A-2B."
3. "Destruct sequence 3, code 1 B-2B-3."

The computer would then reply:

* "Destruct sequence completed and engaged. Awaiting final code for one-minute countdown. (In TOS: "Let That Be Your Last Battlefield", the countdown was only 30 seconds.)

The commanding officer would then state:

* "Code zero zero zero. Destruct. Zero."

The default setting was for a one-minute countdown, but this could be altered during the sequence initiation. The sequence could be aborted at any time up until T-5 seconds by the captain or highest-ranking officer, with the code "Abort destruct sequence, code 1-2-3-continuity." (Star Trek III: The Search for Spock; TOS: "Let That Be Your Last Battlefield")

In Mr. Scott's Guide to the Enterprise, it was stated that if the code "0-0-0-Destruct-1" is given, it will result in an overload of the warp core (most likely an intentional warp core breach, although that term was not used until TNG). This version of the auto-destruct was meant for use in deep space, nowhere near a planetary environment. In a deleted scene for Star Trek: The Motion Picture, he told a lower-rank Engineering crew member that such a warp core breach would be an explosion equivalent to about 100 megatons yield. The "0-0-0-Destruct-0" code, instead, initiates a multitude of small explosive charges to incinerate the hull section by section, followed by a large explosion to destroy much of the saucer section. In the case of Star Trek III: The Search for Spock, the saucer explosion was powerful enough to knock the Enterprise out of its orbit around the Genesis Planet.

"Code zero zero zero destruct zero..."

lol

just because those particular volcanos or sites are normal doesn't mean there isn't trouble brewing elsewhere. if you'd a read the screenshot, there are ones in idaho and colo that are orange. there are also plenty or areas around world in the red.

The Rosco site is back up and their Orange alert was downgraded to a green with a watch. Strange how that happened.

they may just run old footage, we would never know the dif. the thing is the vast number of quakes there since the 16th or whenever, it hasn't let up, and seems more ferocious than the ones last year around this time.

What would happen:

US television networks would probably bring the first news of a Yellowstone super-eruption to the UK. It probably wouldn't take long for the first physical signs to appear.

Within 3-4 days, a fine dusting of ash could fall across Europe, according to a UK Met Office computer forecast commissioned by the BBC. The computer model predicts how ash would spread following a nine-day June eruption of 1000 cubic km of ash and gas from Yellowstone.

The model shows that the fallout from a Yellowstone super-eruption could affect three quarters of the US. The greatest danger would be within 1,000 km of the blast where 90 per cent of people could be killed. Large numbers of people would die across the country – inhaled ash forms a cement-like mixture in human lungs. Even the US East Coast could be paralysed by 1cm of ash.

Many people think that lava flows are the most dangerous volcanic hazards, but ash is often the biggest killer. Because supervolcanoes are highly explosive, much of the magma doesn't get a chance to become lava. Instead it is blasted into countless airborne ash particles – tiny scorching particles of jagged rock.

Ash can:

* Kill and sicken humans and animals
* Reduce sunlight
* Trigger rainfall causing mudslides known as lahars
* Severely disrupt air, road and rail transport
* Crush buildings – 30 cm of dry ash is enough to collapse a roof
* Contaminate water supplies
* Kill crops and other vegetation
* Clog machinery such as air filters.

The worst of these effects would not be experienced in Europe where the ash covering would only amount to a dusting.

Climate change
The most wide reaching effect of a Yellowstone eruption would be much colder weather.

Volcanoes can inject sulphur gas into the upper atmosphere, forming sulphuric acid aerosols that rapidly spread around the globe. Scientists believe sulphuric aerosols are the main cause of climatic cooling after an eruption.

Aerosols in the upper atmosphere would also scatter sunlight making the sky look like a cloudy winter morning all day long. The skies in Europe would appear red in the days after the eruption.

To predict how the climate may be affected, the BBC relied on historic data from the Toba supervolcano in Indonesia about 74,000 years ago and computer model forecasts commissioned from the UK Met Office and the Max Planck Institute in Hamburg.

Experts believe a Yellowstone eruption would inject 2,000 million tonnes of sulphur 40-50km above the Earth's surface. Once there it would take 2-3 weeks for the resulting sulphuric acid aerosols to cloak the globe – with devastating effects.

Global annual average temperatures would drop by up to 10 degrees, according to computer predictions. And the Northern Hemisphere could cool by up to 12 degrees. Experts say colder temperatures could last 6-10 years, gradually returning to normal.

Scientists predict that the Monsoon would fail as a result of even larger temperature changes in the Southern Hemisphere, causing mass starvation in the Asian countries that depend on these life-giving rains.

Temperatures in Europe could be at least 5 degrees cooler the summer after the eruption.

The actual effects of a Yellowstone super-eruption could be different depending on the size of eruption, the time of year and any number of other factors.

How likely is all of this?
An event as massive as a super-eruption would change the Earth and our society forever. It's difficult to predict the full devastation that would follow. We know there would be great loss of life and ill health, changes to our planet and major economic losses.

Scientists believe another super-eruption will happen someday. They can't completely discount a Yellowstone eruption in the near future, but the chances of this happening are extremely remote.

i think nothing will happen, there are people there, and the most important is that animals feel/predict when things will happen.. does any animal runaway from there?

by the way, is there any glper that live near from there and could take a look?

They're trying to calm the masses on GLP.

Not that I doubt it is okay as we have seen swarms like this on many occasions, but the USGS site has not updated since 1-19-2010...

Simple: Depopulation.

ok, nothing happened.glp effect again.
bye

Bring me your sweaty multitudes...

Does this look calm to you
