Its been rumbling for a long time, when it finally blows trouble's going to be everywhere. I have to say I'm not a fan of the site or its reliability though as a fan of the Singularity I got a kick out of this which takes it way off base.http://asheepnomore.net/2014/02/01/will-humanity-survive-singularity/

Here's some good info: http://www.livescience.com/28821-yellowstone-supervolcano-bigger-plume.html

Like Chris has said its been rumbling for quite awhile, but when it blows we can kiss our behinds good bye if it happens in our lifetime tho.

[Tom]

The article indicates the rumblings have increased dramatically over the last couple of months.

[Cr33p3r]

Yes it has, the national geologic agency has been worried about it more now than ever before. The waters around the region has started seeing a drastic rise in temps and off gassing too.

Volcanoes don't really worry me much, growing up with people always talking about how Mt. Rainier was gonna kill us dulled me to it lol. But if Yellowstone did blow it would not only blowup everything around it but would have a massive effect on the Weather and Temperatures worldwide.

I've heard about the rumbling of Yellowstone since I was a kid. It may have increased, but I'm not going to worry about it. If it goes, it goes and we're gone. No biggie for me. I just want a ringside seat.

Top-O-Mount Evans might work just fine for that!

[Rick]

If it goes, it goes and we're gone.yep

You're going to meet me up there, right? Maybe we can try to plan a trail run for the "big event"

[Tom]

Top-O-Mount Evans might work just fine for that!Yes it would. I didn't start this thread due to fear. I find the whole process intriguing.

[javaman34]

Yes it would. I didn't start this thread due to fear. I find the whole process intriguing.

Oh, it's intriguing. I just think we should plan a trail run and call it the "Big Bang Run":steer::2thumbup:

You folks might like this movie: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1307068/ (Seeking a Friend For The End Of The World)
Was a good movie - and if Yellowstone gets mad enough, ... See you all on Mt. Evans for the show!

(Do we need a "food planning run for that? ... Nah...)

[Rick]

(Do we need a "food planning run for that? ... Nah...)dont think we'll need charcoal!!!

[Chris]

Top-O-Mount Evans might work just fine for that!

Not so sure I want to go out stuck in a traffic jam on Mt Evans.

[javaman34]

Not so sure I want to go out stuck in a traffic jam on Mt Evans.

Won't everyone else going to be going in the other direction?

[Jim]

You beat me to it!!


dont think we'll need charcoal!!!


As for traffic jam - it's a 4x4 run - and if it's the end of the world - I'll be off-roading in the "most likely to survive" direction!

Found this from USGS


A borehole seismometer called "B944", located near the West Thumb region of the Park, has been malfunctioning in recent weeks with strong bursts of electronic noise contaminating its data. These noise bursts appear as wild excursions on the B944 webicorders that can appear alarming to the inexperienced eye.

Ping two options:
1) c'mon - let's not have some reality spoil our fun
or
2) cue up the conspiracy folks...

So does that mean no trail run for the "Big Bang"?:confused:

[Jim]

Don't worry, it's gonna happen, I can _FEEL_ IT

...now just to know when ;-)

[Cr33p3r]

C'mon Jim give us a prediction for when it's going to blow!
