    There has been a swarm of over 200 earthquakes in a week around the Yellowstone Caldera. A 4.5 just happened on Tuesday. Hope its not going to erupt soon. America would be fucked.

    It would have to be a cataclysmic earthquake to produce the kind of disaster you are speaking of. I am sure it will happen one day though. And for when that day happens....

    America would not be fucked. Some of the very same scientists that worry about global warming also worry about this. Global warming is fake, so is this.

    It's due. I was just reading an article about it from a couple of years ago. My numbers may be a bit off from memory.

    2.1 million years ago...boom
    1.3 million years ago....boom
    664 thousand years ago...boom
    70 thousand years ago..smaller boom

    So it looks like a span from the first major boom is 800 thousand years. Then about 700 thousand. Then to another smaller boom around 600 thousand years later. So, we probably aren't due for another huge one for half a million years but that 70 thousand years ago kinda rounds off from 664 thousand to zero. Which means we're getting a big but not huge boom any day.

    You'll only get 6-10 inches of ash on your house. Not the three feet you'd get with a major eruption.

    I am gonna check my homeowner's policy tomorrow.

    Better yet, lets sacrifice Hillary and Trump to the Yellowstone Caldera gods.

    And we'll throw in Denny and Barfo.

    So which happens first?
    Yellowstone pops a cork and kills a bunch of wolves. OR.
    California sinks into the Pacific.

    Personally, I do not care, it is a win-win situation.

    I'm happy to go, but I want my 72 virgins first. Then you can sacrifice me.

    That's the way it works, right?
