If Yellowstone were to erupt, it'd pretty much be game over for the entire continent. I'd probably pack up the car and try to make a run for Mexico, rather than wait for certain death by toxic ash. I'm sure they'd welcome the massive influx of desperate US refugees with open arms, same as we would do for them.
But won't you run into a big beautiful, some say the most beautiful, fence before you get to Mexico? Or have the Mexicans taken sawzalls to it by now?
Quick, let’s shelter in place! 2 weeks to flatten the curve.
It's a euphemism for a grossly underutilized snatch.
So I have to wait until tomorrow now?
regardless, fauci says get you vax (many vaxes) and mask up
Yah...Fauci has developed a new 'ash mask'.

After viewing, "Don't Look Up", I have reached the conclusion that we are ultimately screwed by forces beyond our control and any hope of mitigating them will fail due to our collective stupidity, greed, and vanity. The dinner scene brings home what is truly important.
I no longer fear my own demise as I have no control over when and how it will happen. Don't forget to live while you are still amongst the living.
Exactly. Those forces are conservative hypocrites. I do hope to live to 100 to watch them slowly destroy this country.
I mean it’s always been possible, but it hasn’t happened in billions of years so I’d say it’s safe to bet on it not happening. I was just at Yellowstone snowmobiling and I’ll tell ya the geysers in the winter are the most beautiful thing in the world.

Pretty sure Yellowstone is related to climate change..... oh wait
Don't sleep on the Long Valley Caldera going boom. Would be bad news for Mammoth Lakes and those wealthy enough to live and train there.
No worries, Pfizer will develop a vaccine for lava burns, with the help of Fauci.
Uh no, it has erupted 3 times in the last 2.1 million years. Based on the frequency, we are about due for another eruption. It could happen later today, or it could happen in another 50,000 years.
It is on the sense that when Yellowstone erupts it will grange the climate pretty dramatically. Probably no growing food on the Earth for a few years afterward.
Yes, the Yellowsont super-volcano is a "thing", but it is a geologic "thing", and -- as someone below states -- it's likely to happen in geologic time (where thousands or tens of thousand sof years are just a blip) rather than 2022 time.
Yep, she is definitely wrong.

So we thinking about 5pm?
Geologic evidence has suggested Yellowstone had 3 massive explosions in the past 2.5 million years. These were big deals and dramatically shaped the topography of the greater Yellowstone area for miles and send rivers of lava shooting out and left big caldera's and other impacts on landscape. There was a lot of hot ash too that was found as far away as eastern Washington. The most recent big one was 640,000 years ago so there isn't any human record of the impact so everything is just speculation as to what happens when it explodes again. There have been smaller lava flows more recently (last big one was 100,000 years) but again no human records.
It could happen in our lifetime but most likely it won't happen for another 10,000, 100,000 who knows how many years.
