Yellowstone National Park (Will Go Kaboom!)

YNP might explode soon and cause massive devastation. America's first national park, Yellowstone, sits atop one of the largest volcanoes on Earth. The supervolcano will erupt some time soon.

But the same day that Lot went out of Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven, and destroyed them all. Even thus shall it be in the day when the Son of man is revealed.

Lo, you were warned.

Well, I don't know HOW much damage it could inflict on that area of the US -- you started the thread, how about some facts like that? And when is "soon" as per an eruption date estimate?

^^The fire is already raining in Cali. Next will be the brimestone (sulfur) part which will come raining down from the sky after YNP explodes. There will be a gaping hole.

The Yellowstone Caldera is the largest volcanic system in North America. It has been termed a "supervolcano" because the caldera was formed by exceptionally large explosive eruptions. The current caldera was created by a cataclysmic eruption that occurred 640,000 years ago, which released 240 cubic miles (1,000 km³) of ash, rock and pyroclastic materials. This eruption was 1,000 times larger than the 1980 eruption of Mount St. Helens.[28] It produced a crater nearly a two thirds of a mile (1 km) deep and 52 by 28 miles (85 by 45 km) in area and deposited the Lava Creek Tuff, a welded tuff geologic formation. The most violent known eruption, which occurred 2.1 million years ago, ejected 588 cubic miles (2,450 km³) of volcanic material and created the rock formation known as the Huckleberry Ridge Tuff.[29] A smaller eruption ejected 67 cubic miles (280 km³) of material 1.2 million years ago, forming the Island Park Caldera and depositing the Mesa Falls Tuff.[28]

unfortunately, it's currently really quiet, hasn't been an earthquake swarm in a while. sorry, but it looks really quiet now, unless it's suddenly going to get a lot worse.

Soon, it will erupt yes, but I think I'll use the geographical context soon, as in sometime in the next 100,000 years.

And anyway, it could erupt smaller.
