How Satan is lying to everyone that the earth is billions of years old… when it’s only 6,000… and Jesus is coming soon so people should be placing their faith in him while you still have time… Bible Prophecies are jumping off the pages. We are at the end of the last days. And if you don’t place your faith in him then you will soon see plenty of disasters like never before. The only way to escape what’s coming on the earth is placing your faith in Jesus now… call on the name of the Lord What must you do to be saved… believe the gospel… God gave up his glory was born of a virgin. Jesus is 💯 God 💯 man. He walked a perfect life. Shed his blood to pay our sin debt, died, was buried and rose on the 3rd day
You mesioned Pompei, next to the vesuve there is a other supervocano (the city of neapels is parcely, if not completely, buld in that supervolcano) there are structures of acent rome that are belived to have been under water that are now over watter.
One thing the video didn't go into detail about is how heavy the ash would be when it accumulates. Apparently only 4 inches of wet ash could cause the average roof to cave in. This means that the ash would poison all the lakes and rivers it touches, We cant use cars or planes in the affected area, and it would also destroy any shelter most people could find. The consequences would truly be dire and on a scale the country has never seen before.
There are 2 other supervolcanoes in the United States. The Long Valley Caldera in California and the Valles Caldera in New Mexico. They aren't well known but They are monsters in their own right. And they are seismically active as well.
@thomasrussell7135 it's probably extinct. The are only 3 seismically active super calderas in the U.S. the Valles Caldera is one of them the rest are dormant or extinct meaning that their Hotspots have migrated to another part of earth's mantle.
One thing that I remember my geology professors explaining is that the Yellowstone super volcano is rhyolitic. Rhyolite has a much higher silica content than basalt or andesite. The higher the silica, the more viscous the magma, and the more viscous the magma, the more powerful the eruption. . Super volcano eruptions in Iceland are relatively calm because it is basaltic magma (very low silica). Eruptions in Indonesia are usually more forceful because the magma leans more towards basaltic-andesitic, which has a higher silica content. Also, the bentonite ash deposits throughout the mountain regions (Wyoming, Dakotas, etc) from former eruptions can be many feet thick, but even going east of the Mississippi there are significant ash accumulations from those eruptions. The ash fall would be truly devastating.
Just to the south and southwest in Idaho (Idaho Falls, Blackfoot, Arco, Twin Falls)there's many types of lava rock but most is basalt, and yet Yellowstone is supposed to be very violent and it's not even 100 miles away.
Just face it our Earth has been through a lot of hard times in the past and Her troubles aren't over yet. The bright side without all of those Volcanoes etc. life just may not have happened at. What the lost loves says "Its better to have loved and lost than to have never loved at all!" Rather we can say its better to have lived and lost, than to never lived at all. @@clydeacor1911
I remember when Mt. ST Helen erupted in 1980. I specifically remember a one inch layer of ash all over everything all the way in Central Texas. At noon, it looked like it was midnight. The sky was filled with ash. It was very surreal.
What's funny is that north of Mt St Helens didn't get a lick of ash from the May 18th eruption. It erupted again that August, and we got a smattering of ash in the Seattle area, like we'd driven down a dirt road.
Mt. St. Helen eruption and its aftermath proved to me the universe and our earth is only 6000 years old. When the Flood occurred, you had dozens of tectonic shifts, volcanic eruptions, tsunamis, 40 days of rain, the pushing of mountains and the formation of the 7 continents instantaneously within 14 months or so. The animals (fossils) died instantly, Trees and their trunks were buried "as is" due to the Flood. This is why some dinosaurs and other animals at that time still have proteins and food particles in their buried (entombed ) bodies. The runoff of the water and mud is what formed canyons and strata. Scientists have proven this to be true. Fossils of oceanic fish and other aquatic animals have been found at the top of some of the highest mountains. They ended up there because they floated upwards due to the high waters. Evolution is a lie. Atheism is a lie. If you believe I'm wrong, you're an idiot for ignoring solid evidence.
I was in Eastern South Dakota, and we woke up to what we thought was dirty snow over everything! No ice age, just " cloudy" skies for one day. Since then, I have been questioning the Validity of some of the "Scientific" theories about the earth and what constitutes a super volcano? I'm good with the scientific process but don't like the abuse of the peer review process.

A good friend of mine in college was a grad student in Geology from Switzerland. He chose Oregon State because of it's geology program, location in the Ring of Fire, and it was as close to Yellowstone as he could get. He did his doctoral thesis on the Yellowstone supervolcano and told me things that had me quacking in my boots, like how the ground level keeps rising every year (this was in the 90s). He eventually let me off the hook and said it was very unlikely to happen within our lifetime, but for a whole term I thought the end was near. I grew up in Oregon and saw Mt St Helens erupt in 81. I was pretty young, but I remember being able to see the ash plume from Salem, hundreds of miles away, and how the ash covered everything and turned the sky dark. My cousin lives in a neighborhood built on land that didn't exist before the eruption, made of mountains of ash washed down the river that permanently changed the river's course. St Helesn was a relatively small volcano, so I can't imagine how wild something as big as Yellowstone would be. The park itself is basically sitting in the massive caldera. Ironically enough, I live in southern Washington now and can see Mt St Helens and Mt Rainier from the end of my street, St Helens being the last to erupt and Rainier possibly being the next in the Cascade Range. I'm tempted to move to upstate New York. lol On a side note, one of the reasons NASA astronauts often train on volcanoes is because in many cases the ash is very similar to the reoalith found on the surface of the moon. It's like very fine broken glass.
I don't know if I'd be comfortable living that close to a volcano, you're braver than me. Also Upstate NY is absolutely beautiful, especially once you get north of glens falls, also especially in the fall. I grew up in the Adirondack mountains, and really miss it.
The magma dome under Yellowstone has been moving gradually eastward (or, more to the point, continental drift has been moving the surface). The last eruption, 640k years ago, actually occurred near the present location of Arco, Idaho. The Craters of the Moon National Monument, near Arco, is the lava flow from that ancient eruption.
The last few eruptions occurred in the current park. It is moving but not that fast. Did no one pay attention in school when they taught us this stuff?????? Didn’t think so
@@scrapyardprospecting3855if you paid attention in school and believe all the stuff they taught you then you believe a lie because the truth of the matter is simple no one knows how old the Earth is or when that volcano last erupted except God himself
Two things: 1. the Yellowstone hotspot has been erupting for 55 million years, much more than just 3 times. 2. The "official" term for this type of volcano is a "resurgent dome caldera." The BBC came up with the word "supervolcano."
well thats actually right, the film shockingly shows that the a moderate quake near Norris area could trigger a huge instability and trigger as shown on one of the teams monitors. a VEI 8 currently a VEI8 is deemed to be a supervolcano eruption.
The mantle hot spot currently under Yellowstone has been active for around 55Ma but its location hasnt always been under YS. As the N American plate has moved in a NE-SW direction over the stationary hot spot the centre of volcanism has migrated in a SW-NE direction.
In Eastern WA…when it blew it was a beautiful day. I put my rabbits and dog inside…filled containers w/water (we had an open water source) and went to visit my mother. A couple hours later it was pitch black and huge flakes of ash were falling. My husband and I covered our kids, loaded in the car and drove about a mile home. The next day it looked like a moonscape. I covered my face and went out and beat bushes and lower tree limbs…set out water for birds, squirrels. The advice was put it in your garden… Not only did it kill car engines…it was like a layer of cement in the soil for years. I scraped it off my garden…I think they must have picked up piles of it’s everyone had to get it off the roof. That was in May and it was a cool Summer….
for those who believe . the end is near and the government knows it and they don't want to scare us .mothernature acting like this is just giving us warnings.
I’ve been to Yellowstone in 1991 I didn’t feel safe, the ground was squirrelly feeling Some areas I “ imagined” a faint rumbling feeling on my feet. My husband felt “nothing”. I also felt strange and the goosebumps rose on my arms. When we walked around the Old Faithful area. When Old Faithful erupted it was lots worse of course After walking around the upper areas geysers I thought walking a few other areas would feel less rumbling To say the least I was on edge the whole time. What I know today Yellowstone is only the caldera of a super volcano! I also found out the Forrest Service decided to try and find an area around Yellowstone to cut another road. They thought they had found another area they could possibly use. Once they got into that area. they found hot spots and trees smoldering. Hence not suitable for a road. Everyone must understand before hand.That you are walking on a Super Volcano’s Caldera Not a strange mountain No one knows just how large Yellowstone’s volcanic area really is. Yosemite large? Grand Canyon large? No one KNOWS Period Not even the Government
You are 100% correct that the ground is squirrelly in YNP. My father was an architect who worked on high-end properties in Jackson. It takes about a year to get a building permit, another year to carve out foundation and support systems for structures. Due to CONSTANT seismic activity. I’m 1.5 from the YNP entrance, Teton NP comes first. Always DAILY quakes of varying magnitudes. And actually, there are 3 calderas underneath YNP High silica content, equals worst type of ash ever when it blows. Know where you’re going after you physically die, and be ready. All of the United States will die, some immediately, some more slowly. Horrifying. Unthinkable.
@@GodsSparrowSpeaks, I’m in northeast Utah close to the Colorado border. Can’t imagine it will take too long for the fallout to show up here. At least I do know where I’m going when the end comes.

Tsunamis affected Indonesia primarily. Japan was not involved in that particular event. 36,000 inhabitants were from Indonesia. Many remain un named. Even to this day. Thanks for the information.
My childhood home was on the side of the Jemez caldera complex. I used to ponder what would happen if it erupted again. It is essentially Yellowstone on a smaller scale.
This is the only video I've seen that said "we'll be ready for it". If it does Erupt in our lifetime I sure hope we're ready. Very insightful and informative, Great video 👍👍
"we will be ready for it" - If one thing the last 5 years taught me is that there will be a lot of deniers who will claim this is a conspiracy and refuse to evacuate until it's too late.
They found out about Yellowstone because of the missing mountains. If you pause the video at 30 seconds, look at the streak below and left of the Yellowstone hot spot. It heads toward the elbow of the graphic and bends back to the north and west all the way into Oregon. Geologists knew there was a volcano under Yellowstone but didn't realize it was a super volcano until they noticed that the ranges of mountains surrounding Yellowstone were missing mountains. That streak is the path of the hotspot that kept erupting, taking whole mountains as it drifted underground.
@rogerjensen5277 if history tells us anything, it's that all politicians and rich people will be kept perfectly safe while us regular, everyday working people will be left to the ashes.
This failed to mention that a) the hot spot is slowly drifting northeast - more accurately, the continental crust is slowly moving southwest. The northeast crust is extremely ancient craton, which is resistant to volcanism. Eventually, North America will drift enough to position the hot spot under Manitoba and THAT might be a mess. That’s like, several million years away though. b) Iceland sits on top of a much more active hot spot. You can see from what’s happening in Grindavik, that scientists can tell when things are getting spicy belowground. In the extremely unlikely event that the Yellowstone volcano becomes active and nears eruption, we’ll have YEARS of warning. Idk what we’d actually do about it, but minimally, they’d have plenty of time to evacuate….basically three or four states. Weirdly, this video both overstated the drama (it wouldn’t suddenly erupt one day without warning), and greatly underestimated the impact. This would be, minimally, a minor extinction event. There’s already too much carbon being pumped into the atmosphere. This could outgas enough methane and CO2 to tip the scale into runaway heating. It’s difficult to tell, honestly. It might, on the other hand hand, disrupt civilization enough to stop anthropogenic greenhouse gas emissions. It’s not something we currently have to worry about though. It’s really just a thought experiment.
Look at it another way. If we go into a volcanic ice age, then that cancels global warming. That would make a certain young lady from a very cold country very happy.
@truckercowboyed26 how dare I ?. What did I dare ?. Was it not worrying. This falls in the same category of Beetlejuice going KABOOM. Nothing I can do about it changes are nothing "Fun" will happen in my lifetime.😮😮😅.
The super volcano Wawa in Utah and Nevada is bigger than Yellowstone and if you've ever noticed they're starting to have a lot of little earthquakes I often wondered if this was lava moving possibility but it is bigger than Yellowstone and just not active
My understanding is Yellowstone is well vented and would have to have a major earthquake before it could even be concidered for eruption. It’s still a good song tho. 😀😃😃😄😁😆😂🤣
@@Wesmancan where's that article at? I would love to see it I know I live by Yellowstone sort of and I know that the roads have melted because they were too hot they've had to close them off because the lava has melted the asphalt and the lava has lifted up Yellowstone lake so I really do believe it could go but everybody does have an 0pnion..
With what is happening in Italy, we can just hope and pray things like this will not happen. There were always concerns about Yellowstone, Mt. Rainier in Washington, and Nt. Saint Helens. If there are volcanoes erupting in the equatorial regions, it may just be a matter of time for more northern and southern regions. God forbid!
In Italy or at least in Sicily, they have to keep a stern eye on Mount Etna because that volcanic mountain is always growling, spitting out ash and cinders and than erupting violently. Is that mountain ever quiet and stable?
Do you get a thrill anything that knowing that you’ll be just as bad as everybody else oh I forgot you’ve got your proper shit proper shit proper shit guy doesn’t save people Prepper shit
I wonder: Would adding more venting routes for the molten rock placate Yellowstone(and other super volcanos)? People could adapt to the lava flow areas, and it sure would beat a giant eruption.
Please explain just how we would go about doing that....I mean, what type of drilling equipment would we use to drill into molten rock w/o the drilling equipment itself also melting?
@@00Pottus00 Historically they have been catastrophic. Las time was about 700k years ago. It changed the landscape in a 75 mile radius of the center. Those geysers that spew water are completely different in that it it's only steam and water and not house size chunks of debris like you can expect in a caldera eruption.
You know, if you would adjust your numbers based on a 6,000 year creation model, you're findings would be much more frightening because that would mean that an eruption is much more likely to occur than you realize.
Good... That one could erupt in 300 years, 500 years after the last time (again). while Yellowstone's threat died with its last lava flow 70,000 years ago and it now has essentially mostly rocks in its magma chambers. I once convinced somebody that the next eruption there could be another new thing in the string of millions of years of old calderas going back into Oregon and Nevada. It was a bit of a wild guess, but it isn't impossible.
1812, I remember reading a book about that earthquake about 50 years ago when I was a teenager. I’d never heard of it. I suppose most people still haven’t heard of it. I live on the west coast.
Don't worry there's no reason to think about it and worry and fret. There is nothing we can do about the results of such a horrible experience. Just make the best of every day of this life and realize life is a gift
On the plus side, once the eruption takes place, the deposit of ash will ultimately make the soil around there more fertile, as it is in Hawaii. Also the clouds of ash in the atmosphere lowering the temperature in the Northern Hemisphere will alter the weather and possibly make it more prone to rain. So the addition of nutrients to the soil and the change in weather to a wetter cycle will ultimately cause a fluorescence of plant and animal life as it did around St Helen's in the decades since.
U miss the point of a long world wide volcanic winter due to Ash blocking the sun. Ash travels just like dust or sand my good freind a super eruption is different than a normal volcanic eruption
You DID hear the part about the air being unbreathable, that what they call "ash" is actually miniscule particles of glass that, if you breathe it in, turns solid in your lungs & you eventually suffocate? The "worst case scenario) they are talking about will make Mt.St. Helens look like a baby's fart!
Fyi yellow stone is building back her cinder cone when it really goes earth is in trouble cause last mountain was huge when it blew America isn't out of woods yet that magma can't get to ocean due to mountains fault lines under pnw could be filled if cracked we could blow one side of it and allow magma toward Alaska Canada
That being said, Yellowstone finally erupted last week, so that's now out of the way for another 680 thousand years. It's a relief to have that in our rearview mirror.
It needs a really big mountain to sit on top of it so it can build up pressure and erupt with a big explosion. Like the big mountain that used to be there a long, long time ago.
Not true. There are already hundreds to thousands of cubic miles of rock sitting on top of the underground magma chamber. What constitutes a violent eruption depends on the composition of the magma.
You are incorrect there doesn't need to be a big mountain at all what's that gonna do anyways its not gonna do anything at all that's saying that a tree should be on a giant hill and watch it get strucked by lightning that super volcano doesn't need to be on a mountain at all that's not going to do anything except cause more destruction than before
@@YeseniaCargill721 To have a really big explosion, it’s going to need something to really build up pressure. That’s why we in West Yellowstone would get nervous when stuff would get too quiet, pressure wasn’t being released. More likely to get a lake of fire than a Mt St. Helen’s type of eruption.
While it's true geothermal power is a great source of electricity, this is a national park and is offlimits for development. You cannot effectively "cool" a volcano by installing a geothermal plant, or many geothermal plants, for that matter. What you might do is trigger an eruption.
@@Sara-L Triggering an eruption is genuinely your best option with supervolcanoes. Since a super eruption needs rather special requirements and are effectively an enormous plume buckling the crust in slow motion for years before breaching the surface and can potentially release magma and ash for just as long, any other eruption delays it significantly. You really can't just 'accidentally' a supervolcano.
I dont agree with the fallout data. If you look at jet stream and other wind pattern data, the west coast would be less impacted by initial blast fallout and would get most of it from secondary fallout which would be significantly less as it would have had to traverse the earth
The magma is one thing, but what isn't being considered is the massive amounts of potentially dangerous smegma that could emitted into the atmosphere. Scary stuff, indeed!
After seeing the unusual eruption out of the norm of the Geyser just recently. Makes you worried something is brewing. I hope that doesn't happen for many years because yikes we in North America would not have a good time.
Everything depends on how powerful the initial eruption is. The jet stream would play a part. Some days i dream what i would do if yellow stone blew up.
Are u mad any eruption would instantly wipe out everything withing 5 to 20 Miles that's close to 1 million people and there won't be alerts because a eruption can happen anytime and we're long over due. My advice enjoy life now don't worry you will only see a bright light and get a very nice early summer
The volcanic eruption in what is today El Salvador in 530 A.D. caused havoc for nearly 90 years. The social upheaval was probably the worst in human history. I can't imagine the disruption Yellowstone might cause.
Okay this video is a bit silly, first of Yellowstone won’t erupt, this eruption won’t be the most dramatic or even deadly on earth, and Yellowstone is only ranked below 20 on the most dangerous volcanos in the US. Okay now i may just sound like I’m ranting on nothing but hear me out first off there are thousands of huge companies constantly monitoring Yellowstone and it’s effects, and if it were to erupt we would have a minimum of several years, but if you look deep into Yellowstone we can tell what stage the magma is at by looking at the natural rise and fall of the volcano, Yellowstone does not currently have any significant magma store, instead a large portion of there there store is just hot water right now. but wait didn’t he say Yellowstone is moving, ( 6:12 ) yea every volcano on the planet moves, look at the 3 sisters in Oregon they have been moving there hole life, many volcanos in Italy move meters a year, Yellowstone isn’t different and compared to the normal historical rise and fall and movement of Yellowstone lake we can confidently say Yellowstone is acting perfectly normal,
You're so very wrong about Yellowstone National Park. It is not 'the world's oldest national park' that distinction goes to Bogd Khan Uul in Mongolia, established in 1783. It predates YNP in the United States, which was established in 1872 and is often mistakenly thought of as the first national park.
How much time would we be telegraphed ahead of time before the big event? Can we make advancements in technology to prevent a catastrophic event? What does this narrator mean when he said, we’ll be ready for it?
"We'll be ready for it." Famous last words. I'm sure they were spoken by the engineers who told the bureaucrats in Japan when they said that their sea walls would protect them from any tsunami.
Honestly if you get long term food stores, enclosed farms, good water and air filtration and make sure roofs won't cave in... you could. Your enemy is really just the ash, not the volcano itself. Getting something rated to fly through and over the ash clouds and seed them so the rain washes them down quicker would also help.
But also, scientists can give us many many years’ warning before this particular event. Hot spot volcanoes on continents aren’t as unpredictable as oceanic island volcanoes. As far as scope and impact of supervolcanoes, look up continental flood basalts. That’s when the mantle finds a way to directly pour magma over most of a continent. That’s just impossible to understand as humans. Even geologists have difficulty describing what happens in those events. Again, though, continental volcanism can’t sneak up on us. We’re not gonna wake up one day to the news that Wyoming, Idaho, and Montana have all turned inside out and RIP North America. We’ll have years, possibly a generation or more of warning signs.
Why did he brink up Japan as a major casualty event for Krakatoa and not even mention Indonesia? The vast majority of the deaths WERE in Indonesia. Also, I know I am nit picking, but he said there wasn't a super volcanic eruption during human history, then brings up the Toba eruption killing humans.
This was a kind of terrible video. Scientists would be able to give us somewhere between 5 and 20+ years’ warning. They really didn’t make that clear. Yellowstone is similar to Iceland, except WAY WAY less active. You can see from the news there, that scientists can easily give people enough warning to get out of danger, even on that much more volatile hot spot. There’s also very very very very little chance of a Yellowstone eruption. This video implies that it’s imminent and that’s simply not true. The Yellowstone hot spot is drifting slowly northeast. Well, North America is drifting southeast, actually. The continental rock into which it’s moving, is the original North American craton that goes back to the time before there was even life. That continental crust has already survived massive asteroid impacts, crashing into Africa and separating again, multiple times, three different orogenies and rifting events, multiple glaciations, and millions of cycles of the earth tilting back and forth. Scientists believe that the hot spot is already under enough of that highly stable geology to greatly reduce the risk of catastrophic eruption.
@@vivrowe2763 That's not how the ring of fire works. The ring of fire is just a pattern of volcanic activity due to tectonic plates, it's not like it's at risk for some kind of chain reaction effect.
It can though with the right amount of eruptions. They tend to all trigger one another especially since many are close together. The Cascades and Rockies alone have like.. 4 - 7 @@jaredsilvers2782
Collateral damage would be contingent upon the jet stream and pressure systems. Most of that damage would not happen if the jet stream reversed direction.
there isn't enough power , steam to erupt and have magma come to the top.but the earth quake from Missouri will head straight to Kentucky, through Little Rock, I have felt some movement in Arkansas
Just imagine the Appalachian Mountains being crowded with people Pillars of smoke lifting up to the sky from the valleys and hills around the mountains from all the camp fires
When I was in seventh grade, I studied this one in the science class. This guy is correct. This is an alarming if Yellowstone would go off. We'd be facing more than 6 years of winter. It can probably put us back into an ice age. It wasn't that long ago that we had an ice glacier in this state on the North side of Mississippi river, known as the Missouri river 2 miles of an eglacier.
It will erupt its over due and what u miss is the size of this beast its diameter is huge and its a mammoth. Nature will do its best to help but we need to adapt to the fact that we live in a dangerous world and we must prepare our social systems to cope and adapt to that fact build underground shelters is one way.
Nukelear winter. The suffering would shoot ash above where it can't circulate out. The tonga volcano forced water vapor high above where it can't circulate out. The aah would reflect sunlight. 536 ad was worst year in human history.
I'm gonna correct your "statement" a Nuclear winter is just a Hollywood myt! The only "force" in history that has produced a volcanic winter has been Super Volcano's eruption or the impact of very big asteroids or ☄ ☄ comets' The AD536 weather "problems" is so far of unknown origin! Nobody have been able to find the "guilty" volcanoes!!! en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Volcanic_winter_of_536
Only question, how strong will the next eruption be? Will it be like Tengger, with building a new volcano in the middle like Mt. Bromo? A steam explosion like many of the Campi flegrei? Or really "the big one"? The hot spot is very old, from the Columbia river flood basalts, over other younger calderas to recent Yellowstone. I think, even hotspots are not eternal and may get tired. All over the world we find remains of old super volcanoes.
Only the Shadow knows! Siesmologists, geologists and geophysicists all provide some semblence of an answer, but in reality, it's all just a guessing game.

They say it would be a catastrophe of human lives lost even during after shocks. They claim it could happen in 2024. 🤷♂️ which will come first, an eruption or an earthquake??
The last time it happened, it happened three months after the last time a path of totality from a solar eclipse made an "X" over the united states. This is set to happen again in April. Maybe July will be a good month to go on vacation out of the country? haha
@MyFatherLoves and when that happened, bells rang in New York and James Madison and First Lady Dolly felt it in the White House. It actually woke them up from their sleep.
If you're ready for the ash, you're ready for the volcano. And to be ready for the ash you just need supplies, water cisterns, filters and indoor hydroponics. And a lot of plugs and protective roofs over streets. Get ready to shovel ash and wear a mask for a living.
Yep… and I was serving in the Philippines when Mt. Pinatubo erupted. Craziest thing I’ve ever been through. I’m reminiscing now… The ash cloud is no joke. By 1130 in the morning, it was pitch black. No sun at all. It remained that way, raining with ash & sand until the next morning. Multiple tremors and aftershocks hit us while we were staying at our barracks, drinking warm San Miguel beer, and singing… “It’s the end of the world as we know it, but I feel fine!”. 😆🌋
Mt.St. Helens is one thousand the size of Yellowstone. I remember when it went off in California, a week later, while washing my new white Ford, it began to rain and Mt.St. Helens ash was mixed with the raindrops. And the raindrops made a dirty circular splash in my freshly washed white car hood. I was in Pittsburgh. That ash will coat Vermont and Florida. I'd bet on it. There will be a lot of thick ash.
I lived in CA when Mt St Helens blew. My 1st wife and I rode a motorcycle almost 1000 miles to view the still smoking volcano and brought back a gallon of ash to spread on my garden. Did it make any difference? Not that I could tell.
Your map doesn't agree at all with USGS projections. Taking weather patterns and prevailing winds directions (always west to east) the west coast, especially Washington and Oregon would barely get any ash from a Yellowstone eruption. When Mt. St. Helens erupted west of it was essentially untouched but east of it had tons of ash.
@@stephenjargiello3735The video is a bit misleading on how volcanic activity actually works. If we even had the technology to bore down to the magma intrusion (we definitely don’t), opening tiny holes would do absolutely nothing. The volume of the hot spot is miles deep and hundreds of miles wide. It’s not like Dr Pimple Popper. 😂
This smells suspiciously like click-bait. For one thing, Yellowstone is NOT overdue for an eruption. Volcanoes do not work in predictable ways and their eruptions do not follow predictable schedules. Even so, the math doesn’t work out for this volcano to be “overdue” for an eruption. In terms of large explosions, Yellowstone has experienced three at 2.08, 1.3, and 0.631 million years ago. This comes out to an average of about 725,000 years between eruptions. That being the case, there is still about 100,000 years to go. Also, although another catastrophic eruption at Yellowstone is not impossible, scientists are not convinced that one will ever happen. The rhyolite magma chamber beneath Yellowstone is only 5-15% molten (the rest is solidified but still hot), so it is unclear if there is even enough magma beneath the caldera to feed an eruption.
what are you on lol many schools out west do trainings for scenarios like yellowstone and you obviously dont understand active volcanoes. the chambers below would crmble from such pressure and half the us will shift and be covered with thick ash.
I have considered writing a piece of fan fiction where the Mass Effect game universe is one in which Yellowstone's super-eruption occurred on June 27, 2089, long before the events of the first game. It would be fascinating to explore how this event -- in what characters like Commander Shepard would consider to be the past -- altered human social, economic, and political affairs. If one were to suppose that such a thing happened, then that might be part of the in-universe reason why North America in the Mass Effect universe is not divided into the same number of countries as it is today.

One thing the video didn't go into detail about is how heavy the ash would be when it accumulates. Apparently only 4 inches of wet ash could cause the average roof to cave in. This means that the ash would poison all the lakes and rivers it touches, We cant use cars or planes in the affected area, and it would also destroy any shelter most people could find. The consequences would truly be dire and on a scale the country has never seen before.
Good thing the American Indians have the underground tunnel systems from Florida to Kanata

There are 2 other supervolcanoes in the United States. The Long Valley Caldera in California and the Valles Caldera in New Mexico. They aren't well known but They are monsters in their own right. And they are seismically active as well.
There is also the Valle caldera north of Cuba New Mexico on Jiccarilla Apache Reservation
@thomasrussell7135 it's probably extinct. The are only 3 seismically active super calderas in the U.S. the Valles Caldera is one of them the rest are dormant or extinct meaning that their Hotspots have migrated to another part of earth's mantle.

One thing that I remember my geology professors explaining is that the Yellowstone super volcano is rhyolitic. Rhyolite has a much higher silica content than basalt or andesite. The higher the silica, the more viscous the magma, and the more viscous the magma, the more powerful the eruption. . Super volcano eruptions in Iceland are relatively calm because it is basaltic magma (very low silica). Eruptions in Indonesia are usually more forceful because the magma leans more towards basaltic-andesitic, which has a higher silica content. Also, the bentonite ash deposits throughout the mountain regions (Wyoming, Dakotas, etc) from former eruptions can be many feet thick, but even going east of the Mississippi there are significant ash accumulations from those eruptions. The ash fall would be truly devastating.
Just to the south and southwest in Idaho (Idaho Falls, Blackfoot, Arco, Twin Falls)there's many types of lava rock but most is basalt, and yet Yellowstone is supposed to be very violent and it's not even 100 miles away.
Blimey! All I remember is that Italy is shaped like a boot!
I think I remember reading that Florida was covered in a few millimeters of ash from the last eruption.
Yeah, You got your tomb ready.
Just face it our Earth has been through a lot of hard times in the past and Her troubles aren't over yet. The bright side without all of those Volcanoes etc. life just may not have happened at.

I remember when Mt. ST Helen erupted in 1980. I specifically remember a one inch layer of ash all over everything all the way in Central Texas. At noon, it looked like it was midnight. The sky was filled with ash. It was very surreal.
What's funny is that north of Mt St Helens didn't get a lick of ash from the May 18th eruption. It erupted again that August, and we got a smattering of ash in the Seattle area, like we'd driven down a dirt road.
Mt. St. Helen eruption and its aftermath proved to me the universe and our earth is only 6000 years old. When the Flood occurred, you had dozens of tectonic shifts, volcanic eruptions, tsunamis, 40 days of rain, the pushing of mountains and the formation of the 7 continents instantaneously within 14 months or so. The animals (fossils) died instantly, Trees and their trunks were buried "as is" due to the Flood. This is why some dinosaurs and other animals at that time still have proteins and food particles in their buried (entombed ) bodies. The runoff of the water and mud is what formed canyons and strata. Scientists have proven this to be true. Fossils of oceanic fish and other aquatic animals have been found at the top of some of the highest mountains. They ended up there because they floated upwards due to the high waters. Evolution is a lie. Atheism is a lie. If you believe I'm wrong, you're an idiot for ignoring solid evidence.
😂 I am from the Coquille tribe along the coast of Oregon. I was in Bandon on the beach the day it erupted did not effect us at all!
I was in Eastern South Dakota, and we woke up to what we thought was dirty snow over everything! No ice age, just " cloudy" skies for one day. Since then, I have been questioning the Validity of some of the "Scientific" theories about the earth and what constitutes a super volcano? I'm good with the scientific process but don't like the abuse of the peer review process.
We live in Houston and remember ash from Mt. St. Helens appearing here too.

A good friend of mine in college was a grad student in Geology from Switzerland. He chose Oregon State because of it's geology program, location in the Ring of Fire, and it was as close to Yellowstone as he could get. He did his doctoral thesis on the Yellowstone supervolcano and told me things that had me quacking in my boots, like how the ground level keeps rising every year (this was in the 90s). He eventually let me off the hook and said it was very unlikely to happen within our lifetime, but for a whole term I thought the end was near. I grew up in Oregon and saw Mt St Helens erupt in 81. I was pretty young, but I remember being able to see the ash plume from Salem, hundreds of miles away, and how the ash covered everything and turned the sky dark. My cousin lives in a neighborhood built on land that didn't exist before the eruption, made of mountains of ash washed down the river that permanently changed the river's course. St Helesn was a relatively small volcano, so I can't imagine how wild something as big as Yellowstone would be. The park itself is basically sitting in the massive caldera. Ironically enough, I live in southern Washington now and can see Mt St Helens and Mt Rainier from the end of my street, St Helens being the last to erupt and Rainier possibly being the next in the Cascade Range. I'm tempted to move to upstate New York. lol On a side note, one of the reasons NASA astronauts often train on volcanoes is because in many cases the ash is very similar to the reoalith found on the surface of the moon. It's like very fine broken glass.
I don't know if I'd be comfortable living that close to a volcano, you're braver than me.
Also Upstate NY is absolutely beautiful, especially once you get north of glens falls, also especially in the fall. I grew up in the Adirondack mountains, and really miss it.

The magma dome under Yellowstone has been moving gradually eastward (or, more to the point, continental drift has been moving the surface). The last eruption, 640k years ago, actually occurred near the present location of Arco, Idaho. The Craters of the Moon National Monument, near Arco, is the lava flow from that ancient eruption.
Interesting. That must explain the ashfall fossil beds.

Two things: 1. the Yellowstone hotspot has been erupting for 55 million years, much more than just 3 times. 2. The "official" term for this type of volcano is a "resurgent dome caldera." The BBC came up with the word "supervolcano."
well thats actually right, the film shockingly shows that the a moderate quake near Norris area could trigger a huge instability and trigger as shown on one of the teams monitors. a VEI 8 currently a VEI8 is deemed to be a supervolcano eruption.
Yes, I remember 50 million years ago when I was there......
The mantle hot spot currently under Yellowstone has been active for around 55Ma but its location hasnt always been under YS. As the N American plate has moved in a NE-SW direction over the stationary hot spot the centre of volcanism has migrated in a SW-NE direction.
The earth hasn’t been here for millions of years.

I put my rabbits and dog inside…filled containers w/water (we had an open water source) and went to visit my mother.
A couple hours later it was pitch black and huge flakes of ash were falling.

Me
I’ve been to Yellowstone in 1991
I didn’t feel safe, the ground was squirrelly feeling
Some areas I “ imagined” a faint rumbling feeling on my feet. My husband felt “nothing”. I also felt strange and the goosebumps rose on my arms. When we walked around the Old Faithful area. When Old Faithful erupted it was lots worse of course
After walking around the upper areas geysers I thought walking a few other areas would feel less rumbling
To say the least I was on edge the whole time.
What I know today
Yellowstone is only the caldera of a super volcano!
I also found out the Forrest Service decided to try and find an area around Yellowstone to cut another road.
They thought they had found another area they could possibly use.
Once they got into that area.
they found hot spots and trees smoldering.
Hence not suitable for a road.
Everyone must understand before hand.That you are walking on a Super Volcano’s Caldera
Not a strange mountain
No one knows just how large Yellowstone’s volcanic area really is.

You are 100% correct that the ground is squirrelly in YNP.
My father was an architect who worked on high-end properties in Jackson. It takes about a year to get a building permit, another year to carve out foundation and support systems for structures. Due to CONSTANT seismic activity.
I’m 1.5 from the YNP entrance, Teton NP comes first. Always DAILY quakes of varying magnitudes.
And actually, there are 3 calderas underneath YNP

They found out about Yellowstone because of the missing mountains. If you pause the video at 30 seconds, look at the streak below and left of the Yellowstone hot spot. It heads toward the elbow of the graphic and bends back to the north and west all the way into Oregon. Geologists knew there was a volcano under Yellowstone but didn't realize it was a super volcano until they noticed that the ranges of mountains surrounding Yellowstone were missing mountains. That streak is the path of the hotspot that kept erupting, taking whole mountains as it drifted underground.
"We'll be ready for it." HARDLY
How could you be ready for something on this massive of scale? Well, maybe if you're super rich!
Pompeii probably said the same thing.

@rogerjensen5277 if history tells us anything, it's that all politicians and rich people will be kept perfectly safe while us regular, everyday working people will be left to the ashes.
Good thing American Indians know where the underground tunnel systems are from Kanate to Florida
This failed to mention that
a) the hot spot is slowly drifting northeast - more accurately, the continental crust is slowly moving southwest. The northeast crust is extremely ancient craton, which is resistant to volcanism. Eventually, North America will drift enough to position the hot spot under Manitoba and THAT might be a mess. That’s like, several million years away though.
b) Iceland sits on top of a much more active hot spot. You can see from what’s happening in Grindavik, that scientists can tell when things are getting spicy belowground.
In the extremely unlikely event that the Yellowstone volcano becomes active and nears eruption, we’ll have YEARS of warning.
Idk what we’d actually do about it, but minimally, they’d have plenty of time to evacuate….basically three or four states.
Weirdly, this video both overstated the drama (it wouldn’t suddenly erupt one day without warning), and greatly underestimated the impact.
This would be, minimally, a minor extinction event. There’s already too much carbon being pumped into the atmosphere. This could outgas enough methane and CO2 to tip the scale into runaway heating.
It’s difficult to tell, honestly. It might, on the other hand hand, disrupt civilization enough to stop anthropogenic greenhouse gas emissions.
It’s not something we currently have to worry about though. It’s really just a thought experiment.
Look at it another way. If we go into a volcanic ice age, then that cancels global warming. That would make a certain young lady from a very cold country very happy.
All of the eruptions in the past haven't caused "run away heating" in fact quite the opposite.

It was a bit of a wild guess, but it isn't impossible.

@@mattserraes8561acting like the United States is the entire world
On the plus side, once the eruption takes place, the deposit of ash will ultimately make the soil around there more fertile, as it is in Hawaii. Also the clouds of ash in the atmosphere lowering the temperature in the Northern Hemisphere will alter the weather and possibly make it more prone to rain. So the addition of nutrients to the soil and the change in weather to a wetter cycle will ultimately cause a fluorescence of plant and animal life as it did around St Helen's in the decades since.
U miss the point of a long world wide volcanic winter due to Ash blocking the sun. Ash travels just like dust or sand my good freind a super eruption is different than a normal volcanic eruption
Depends on the season and jet stream activity
You DID hear the part about the air being unbreathable, that what they call "ash" is actually miniscule particles of glass that, if you breathe it in, turns solid in your lungs & you eventually suffocate?

It needs a really big mountain to sit on top of it so it can build up pressure and erupt with a big explosion. Like the big mountain that used to be there a long, long time ago.
Not true. There are already hundreds to thousands of cubic miles of rock sitting on top of the underground magma chamber. What constitutes a violent eruption depends on the composition of the magma.
Sorry, you are incorrect.
You are incorrect there doesn't need to be a big mountain at all what's that gonna do anyways its not gonna do anything at all that's saying that a tree should be on a giant hill and watch it get strucked by lightning that super volcano doesn't need to be on a mountain at all that's not going to do anything except cause more destruction than before
@@YeseniaCargill721 To have a really big explosion, it’s going to need something to really build up pressure. That’s why we in West Yellowstone would get nervous when stuff would get too quiet, pressure wasn’t being released. More likely to get a lake of fire than a Mt St. Helen’s type of eruption.
Could we drill alot of small holes to help relieve pressure?

Don't understand why that isn't tapped for its energy potential which is enormous. You'd also cool it (by removing heat).
Look up the Indonesian mud volcano that was triggered by a gas well blow out. It's been going for 17 years now.
While it's true geothermal power is a great source of electricity, this is a national park and is offlimits for development. You cannot effectively "cool" a volcano by installing a geothermal plant, or many geothermal plants, for that matter. What you might do is trigger an eruption.
@@Sara-L Triggering an eruption is genuinely your best option with supervolcanoes. Since a super eruption needs rather special requirements and are effectively an enormous plume buckling the crust in slow motion for years before breaching the surface and can potentially release magma and ash for just as long, any other eruption delays it significantly.
You really can't just 'accidentally' a supervolcano.
I dont agree with the fallout data. If you look at jet stream and other wind pattern data, the west coast would be less impacted by initial blast fallout and would get most of it from secondary fallout which would be significantly less as it would have had to traverse the earth
Pay attention to what has been happening the last few couple years or are you to blind to see it?
Or just to ignorant to see it.
@jonas... My thoughts exactly
Exactly! Just like st. Helens. Ash did fall all over the earth but not as bad as right around the blast
The magma is one thing, but what isn't being considered is the massive amounts of potentially dangerous smegma that could emitted into the atmosphere. Scary stuff, indeed!

After seeing the unusual eruption out of the norm of the Geyser just recently. Makes you worried something is brewing. I hope that doesn't happen for many years because yikes we in North America would not have a good time.
Its common for it i read so relax man

Everything depends on how powerful the initial eruption is. The jet stream would play a part. Some days i dream what i would do if yellow stone blew up.
You would die...
Hopefully, I have a depends on.
Are u mad any eruption would instantly wipe out everything withing 5 to 20 Miles that's close to 1 million people and there won't be alerts because a eruption can happen anytime and we're long over due.

The volcanic eruption in what is today El Salvador in 530 A.D. caused havoc for nearly 90 years. The social upheaval was probably the worst in human history. I can't imagine the disruption Yellowstone might cause.
Europeans can go back to Europe, Africans can go back to Africa and everybody else can go to Mexico
Your right!
Everyone in the US will die if humans are around when it happens
Okay this video is a bit silly, first of Yellowstone won’t erupt, this eruption won’t be the most dramatic or even deadly on earth, and Yellowstone is only ranked below 20 on the most dangerous volcanos in the US.
Okay now i may just sound like I’m ranting on nothing but hear me out first off there are thousands of huge companies constantly monitoring Yellowstone and it’s effects, and if it were to erupt we would have a minimum of several years, but if you look deep into Yellowstone we can tell what stage the magma is at by looking at the natural rise and fall of the volcano, Yellowstone does not currently have any significant magma store, instead a large portion of there there store is just hot water right now. but wait didn’t he say Yellowstone is moving, ( 6:12 ) yea every volcano on the planet moves, look at the 3 sisters in Oregon they have been moving there hole life, many volcanos in Italy move meters a year, Yellowstone isn’t different and compared to the normal historical rise and fall and movement of Yellowstone lake we can confidently say Yellowstone is acting perfectly normal,
I saw a National Geographic show about this when I was maybe 7 or so, I didn’t sleep well for months. Nowadays I kinda can’t wait for it
You're so very wrong about Yellowstone National Park. It is not 'the world's oldest national park' that distinction goes to Bogd Khan Uul in Mongolia, established in 1783. It predates YNP in the United States, which was established in 1872 and is often mistakenly thought of as the first national park.
No one knows what kind of eruption could happen. I'm ground zero in Jellystone

@@JanisGruber-u8ume too janis im your neighbor 😁
I live in Houston, the same Gulf of Mexico that pelts us with hurricane after hurricane would ironically be our savior in an eruption event
How much time would we be telegraphed ahead of time before the big event? Can we make advancements in technology to prevent a catastrophic event?
What does this narrator mean when he said, we’ll be ready for it?
That volcano busting reminded me of some 😂
Get your mind out of the gutter. Lol
"We'll be ready for it."
Famous last words.
I'm sure they were spoken by the engineers who told the bureaucrats in Japan when they said that their sea walls would protect them from any tsunami.
Finally, a video where my expertise can shine...
How in the hell would we "be ready for it"?
By getting a camera.
Locating all the American Indian tunnel systems, specifically the ones used en the underground railroad from Florida to Kanata
Helps depopulation Gov. Quotas
Honestly if you get long term food stores, enclosed farms, good water and air filtration and make sure roofs won't cave in... you could. Your enemy is really just the ash, not the volcano itself.
Getting something rated to fly through and over the ash clouds and seed them so the rain washes them down quicker would also help.
If you're warned in dreams. That's about it lol then you gotta leave!
People jave a hard time understanding the scope of a super volcano. They can't imagine it.
But also, scientists can give us many many years’ warning before this particular event.
Hot spot volcanoes on continents aren’t as unpredictable as oceanic island volcanoes.
As far as scope and impact of supervolcanoes, look up continental flood basalts.
That’s when the mantle finds a way to directly pour magma over most of a continent. That’s just impossible to understand as humans. Even geologists have difficulty describing what happens in those events.
Again, though, continental volcanism can’t sneak up on us. We’re not gonna wake up one day to the news that Wyoming, Idaho, and Montana have all turned inside out and RIP North America.
We’ll have years, possibly a generation or more of warning signs.
Probably because "super volcano" is a made up term and is not quantifiable.
@@odellgreene234 It's god damn ridiculous that you believe that.
@@joester4life quantify it please. Look up the definition of "super" the adjective has "0" quantifiable characteristics. Get it "0" 😂
Someone needs to do something about these volcanos. They’re outrageous.
Going by the thumbnail… me just chilling in Florida away from the action 🤣
Thats cute the ash alone would be a problem for the entire country not just stares around
Nothing is worth living in FL.
Why did he brink up Japan as a major casualty event for Krakatoa and not even mention Indonesia? The vast majority of the deaths WERE in Indonesia. Also, I know I am nit picking, but he said there wasn't a super volcanic eruption during human history, then brings up the Toba eruption killing humans.
We'll be ready for it? What evidence? I live in New Mexico and would likely die. I don't sound ready.
This was a kind of terrible video. Scientists would be able to give us somewhere between 5 and 20+ years’ warning. They really didn’t make that clear. Yellowstone is similar to Iceland, except WAY WAY less active. You can see from the news there, that scientists can easily give people enough warning to get out of danger, even on that much more volatile hot spot.
There’s also very very very very little chance of a Yellowstone eruption. This video implies that it’s imminent and that’s simply not true.
The Yellowstone hot spot is drifting slowly northeast. Well, North America is drifting southeast, actually.
The continental rock into which it’s moving, is the original North American craton that goes back to the time before there was even life.
That continental crust has already survived massive asteroid impacts, crashing into Africa and separating again, multiple times, three different orogenies and rifting events, multiple glaciations, and millions of cycles of the earth tilting back and forth.
Scientists believe that the hot spot is already under enough of that highly stable geology to greatly reduce the risk of catastrophic eruption.
You must not know about the American Indian tunnel systems from Kanata to Kansas to Louisiana to Florida to Arizona to Texas
If this happens will it cause the Ring of Fire where other volcanos erupt ?
That is correct! This has been foretold for some time, so I won't be surprised when it does erupt.
@@vivrowe2763 That's not how the ring of fire works. The ring of fire is just a pattern of volcanic activity due to tectonic plates, it's not like it's at risk for some kind of chain reaction effect.
It can though with the right amount of eruptions. They tend to all trigger one another especially since many are close together. The Cascades and Rockies alone have like.. 4 - 7

Collateral damage would be contingent upon the jet stream and pressure systems.
Most of that damage would not happen if the jet stream reversed direction.
Yes and usually, the jet stream goes West to East!!
Often shifting North to South, between hot and cold.🥶🥵
there isn't enough power , steam to erupt and have magma come to the top.but the earth quake from Missouri will head straight to Kentucky, through Little Rock, I have felt some movement in Arkansas

I live in Earthquake country. Near geyser pipeline in No. Calif. Quakes are nearly daily, and there is a dormant volcano in the same area.
When I was in seventh grade, I studied this one in the science class. This guy is correct. This is an alarming if Yellowstone would go off. We'd be facing more than 6 years of winter. It can probably put us back into an ice age. It wasn't that long ago that we had an ice glacier in this state on the North side of Mississippi river, known as the Missouri river 2 miles of an eglacier.
Maybe if it does erupt, it doesn't necessarily have to be the all encompassing super eruption.
It will erupt its over due and what u miss is the size of this beast its diameter is huge and its a mammoth. Nature will do its best to help but we need to adapt to the fact that we live in a dangerous world and we must prepare our social systems to cope and adapt to that fact build underground shelters is one way.
Nukelear winter. The suffering would shoot ash above where it can't circulate out. The tonga volcano forced water vapor high above where it can't circulate out. The aah would reflect sunlight. 536 ad was worst year in human history.
I'm gonna correct your spelling here friend. Nuclear. That's how it's spelled.
Nuclear, I stand corrected. Never tweet asleep
I'm gonna correct your "statement" a Nuclear winter is just a Hollywood myt!
The only "force" in history that has produced a volcanic winter has been Super Volcano's eruption or the impact of very big asteroids or ☄ ☄ comets'

@@morganoverbay8783 That's "sbell" how they wahnt.
Only question, how strong will the next eruption be? Will it be like Tengger, with building a new volcano in the middle like Mt. Bromo? A steam explosion like many of the Campi flegrei? Or really "the big one"? The hot spot is very old, from the Columbia river flood basalts, over other younger calderas to recent Yellowstone. I think, even hotspots are not eternal and may get tired. All over the world we find remains of old super volcanoes.
Only the Shadow knows! Siesmologists, geologists and geophysicists all provide some semblence of an answer, but in reality, it's all just a guessing game.

There is already a 17' deep layer of ash in Nebraska from ancient Yellowstone eruption.
Buncha fossils buried under it too. Still haven't gone up there to see them yet.
Wouldn`t it cause a shift in the tectonic plates thus causing a chain reaction of other volcanos?

When you wash your car after the eruption float the ash off. If you brush it off dry or rub it you will ruin the paint job.
Iceland is a Super Volcano and it erupts all the time! 😊
They have 32 volcanoes. I did not know that
Iceland's volcanic activity is caused by an ocean rift. Not a super volcano. The earth spreading apart allows magma to surface.

I’ve been hearing a lot about the new Madrid fault line that goes between KY and Missouri and how it could be strong enough to split the country in half. They say it would be a catastrophe of human lives lost even during after shocks. They claim it could happen in 2024. 🤷♂️ which will come first, an eruption or an earthquake??
My guess is an earthquake and I probably only live a couple of hours from there.
The last time it happened, it happened three months after the last time a path of totality from a solar eclipse made an "X" over the united states. This is set to happen again in April. Maybe July will be a good month to go on vacation out of the country? haha
Stop doomscrolling.
@MyFatherLoves and when that happened, bells rang in New York and James Madison and First Lady Dolly felt it in the White House. It actually woke them up from their sleep.
You said we would be ready for it! Not a chance!
If you're ready for the ash, you're ready for the volcano. And to be ready for the ash you just need supplies, water cisterns, filters and indoor hydroponics. And a lot of plugs and protective roofs over streets.
Get ready to shovel ash and wear a mask for a living.

Bet your mommy still tells you that you’re smart huh. 😂🤣😂
Yep… and I was serving in the Philippines when Mt. Pinatubo erupted. Craziest thing I’ve ever been through. I’m reminiscing now…
The ash cloud is no joke. By 1130 in the morning, it was pitch black. No sun at all. It remained that way, raining with ash & sand until the next morning. Multiple tremors and aftershocks hit us while we were staying at our barracks, drinking warm San Miguel beer, and singing… “It’s the end of the world as we know it, but I feel fine!”. 😆🌋
viewing this from Alaska saying "whew", lol
How will we be ready...?
Mt.St. Helens is one thousand the size of Yellowstone. I remember when it went off in California, a week later, while washing my new white Ford, it began to rain and Mt.St. Helens ash was mixed with the raindrops. And the raindrops made a dirty circular splash in my freshly washed white car hood. I was in Pittsburgh. That ash will coat Vermont and Florida. I'd bet on it. There will be a lot of thick ash.
Exactly yeah I remember in Georgia 😮
I lived in CA when Mt St Helens blew. My 1st wife and I rode a motorcycle almost 1000 miles to view the still smoking volcano and brought back a gallon of ash to spread on my garden. Did it make any difference? Not that I could tell.
In eastern WA. we were dealing with deep ash and dark days from Mt St. Helens 🤔
FYI, Mt. St. Helens is in Oregon, not in California.
@@arieljoyfine8833 🤨 It's in Washington State dear. Check yourself before trying to inform others 😉
Both political parties will find a way to blame each other for it happening and a way to profit from the disaster.
USA as a country will collapse if this ever happens imo.
There's a really cool caldera in Tanzania called Ngorongoro with several species of predators and prey essentially confined within it.
Your map doesn't agree at all with USGS projections. Taking weather patterns and prevailing winds directions (always west to east) the west coast, especially Washington and Oregon would barely get any ash from a Yellowstone eruption. When Mt. St. Helens erupted west of it was essentially untouched but east of it had tons of ash.
When people complain about climate change then forget that volcanoes not only exist but dump on all their statistics.
LOL.....your comment proves that you haven't even looked at any statistics. Go off an look at the data and then we can have an intelligent discussion.
@@Kiwigeo8339no one believes you

@@stephenjargiello3735The video is a bit misleading on how volcanic activity actually works.
If we even had the technology to bore down to the magma intrusion (we definitely don’t), opening tiny holes would do absolutely nothing.
The volume of the hot spot is miles deep and hundreds of miles wide.
It’s not like Dr Pimple Popper. 😂
This smells suspiciously like click-bait. For one thing, Yellowstone is NOT overdue for an eruption. Volcanoes do not work in predictable ways and their eruptions do not follow predictable schedules. Even so, the math doesn’t work out for this volcano to be “overdue” for an eruption. In terms of large explosions, Yellowstone has experienced three at 2.08, 1.3, and 0.631 million years ago. This comes out to an average of about 725,000 years between eruptions. That being the case, there is still about 100,000 years to go. Also, although another catastrophic eruption at Yellowstone is not impossible, scientists are not convinced that one will ever happen. The rhyolite magma chamber beneath Yellowstone is only 5-15% molten (the rest is solidified but still hot), so it is unclear if there is even enough magma beneath the caldera to feed an eruption.
what are you on lol many schools out west do trainings for scenarios like yellowstone and you obviously dont understand active volcanoes. the chambers below would crmble from such pressure and half the us will shift and be covered with thick ash.
Winds would take the ash in that direction. It is more likely to blow towards the Atlantic coastal states than to blow south.
I have considered writing a piece of fan fiction where the Mass Effect game universe is one in which Yellowstone's super-eruption occurred on June 27, 2089, long before the events of the first game. It would be fascinating to explore how this event -- in what characters like Commander Shepard would consider to be the past -- altered human social, economic, and political affairs. If one were to suppose that such a thing happened, then that might be part of the in-universe reason why North America in the Mass Effect universe is not divided into the same number of countries as it is today.
