Been watching yellowstone for many years now.... the Super volcano does have Earthquake swarms on Occasion..... this one today is pretty wicked looking..... roughly 200 Small quakes have occurred in the NWest corner of the caldera.... join us live for the Discussion...

Popcorn ready.

Although sometimes in life some of us think to ourselves 'damn, my life is boring, gee i wish something would happen', for instance, i love storms, i love it too when cats and dogs are falling from above. It seems where i live there may be a huge invisible dome above our town. Storms come to us, split up, go around each side, then join again. It sucks.

What i'm trying to say is, this is an event that would be massive for our lifetime, i hope for my American friends that it doesn't , but what a ride it would be.

From what I've heard and read if Yellowstone went off we'd be screwed. But is that true? Humans are resilient. I'd think it's possible an entire State could be ruined but we'd all survive, right??

It all depends on the level of any eruption. A full on blow with the vast portion of the magma chamber emptying out and you can kiss goodbye to most of Northern USA and Southern Canada. It is THAT serious. The rest of the USA would suffer badly too. The impact would be world wide and could lead to millions dying from direct and indirect effects.

Personally I hope it’s nothing more than an aggressive rumble.

Your town has the heat-island effect. All the heat from cars, building air conditioning creates a permanent "high" around the town so all the storms just have to move out the way.

Could someone give us an idea of how significant 200 small quakes are? What’s average? What’s the range?

(Sorry I can’t watch the video - the question might be answered already there.)

Went to the link on youtube and see there is a discussion going on but it is mostly grid coordinates of where things are happening. Unless Im missing something.

the supervolcanies wont erupt for sometime, the only reason for that much lava to travel would to be a cleanse of all the quadrillions tons of metal & materials we brought across the earth & melt them back into earth. itll be like another noahs ark lol but not for awhile now the bible says we got a war ways to go before the science & time & god & earth & animals & science & time lol says its time.

we figured this out before we came to america. noones dumb enough to take a sextillion tons of metal wood gems plastic & put them in one place like say ny city & not think that all that weight aint gon do anything to the land with all of that pressure. it was well thought out, we have it mapped, no need to worry unless you on where we wan split the contentinant again.

I have been keeping an eye on Yellowstone for years. I hope to never witness the eruption, people about saying bring it etc. It’s a world changer. The US would be covered in a foot of ash, you wouldn’t see a Summer worldwide for several years. It would be like nuclear winter without the bombs

lol, yeah a whole state or 2 blowing up will be a local event.

Nepal might be ok.

It would be awesome to live through it, tho.

Only redeeming quality of it going off is that it's not in the water.

It's still active and as of Feb 18th more than 200 quakes have been detected. Looks like experts are keeping the alert level at normal. Too bad some experts have exited would like to have seen their take.

Well, my family and I would be screwed. We are on the edge of the blast zone.

Long term, there would be the functional equivalent of a nuclear winter. The entire globe would be impacted. Millions would starve, government, social and financial systems would collapse. Some may ride it out intact and still be able to serve their people, but life for everyone would be forever changed.

The last super volcano humans saw was Toba, and well we barely survived that. I think it would be different now and the human race would go on, but life would be very different than what you and I know now.

So they are trying to make some effort to reassure the public. This seems like a significant swarm though compared to others in the past but I'm certainly not an expert. I also am of the opinion that they would not tell the public if the thing were going to go so...
