I'm surprised this didn't draw more attention, espcially since that Discovery channel movie started the same way. :whofart:

Yosemite/Yellowstone. What's the difference, right?

meh, tomato - potato

im talking about that movie "Supervolcano" about the eruption under yellowstone national park that takes out like half of the red states and everyone gets buried under tons of ash clenching their shotguns and George W pics with their bloodhound "blue" by their sides. in the movie they say something to the effect of "the supervolcano erupts approximately every 700,000 years and it's been about 750,000 since the last eruption.

If that or another Super Volcano goes off, there isn't a safe place on Earth. The difference is, in some locations you'll die a little slower. Don't worry about things you can't do anything about.

Start by putting those numbers into perspective. How many years is 50,000? How many years has mankind existed?

Meanwhile, you forgot to mention events more based in reality. For example where are the most violent US earthquakes? CA? Hardly. I believe we are now decades overdue for a New Madrid earthquake. Last one was so violent as to ring church bells in Boston and knock down scaffolding around the US Capitol dome. Did the movie feed on your emotions? Or put threats into perspective?

It is something I do often to be so obnoxious. First I do the numbers. Ignoring the numbers – an essential perspective – is how junk science and WMDs were promoted by those whose history is to lie. We are long overdue for a New Madrid earthquake. And how many earthquake proof structures exist in that region? More scary numbers.

Thirty five years later - another rumble in the jungle ...

or this just just the next installment of "Death in the Tall Grass".

Either way, its all about Bush country.

Smith said earthquake swarms are common in Yellowstone. As many as 70 swarms of small earthquakes have occurred in the region between 1983 and 2006.

Probably no one felt the most recent quakes, Smith said.

Looks like the Jackson Hole paper needed to fill some space to me.
