you are fucked. everyone is fucked.

I mean OK as in I will survive the initial blast to see the enduring winter that lasts through to the Spring of 2011, food shortages, chaos etc?

 

[Spider Silva]

This thread isn't sensationalist titled enough. A mod here should edit it to like "IMMINENT DEATH at Yellowstone, "We just hope the human race can survive."

 

[Ferrio]

Gotta admit, it'd be an interesting way to die.

 

[RobertM]

I live in NY, I should be OK, right? :lol

Don't worry, you'll sink there after.

 

[Gaborn]

I guess God wasn't happy Prop 8 passed either.

But it's always possible the eruption wouldn't be as bad isn't it?

Didn't MT St Helen's erupt again recently and it wasn't like the previous one?

It wasn't building pressure for 640,000 years. Also Yellowstones will be about 10,000 times bigger than St Helen's massive one.

The Rapture is coming. Get ready, folks! :lol

 

[Finn]

This thread is like those people in NYC who hold signs declaring we all must repent because the end is nigh, except in virtual form.

I can't wait until nothing happens and this thread falls to page 5.

More like the Rupture lololol ~_~

 

[White Man]

It's as though the planet itself is telling me to move from Bellevue and back into Seattle.

 

[RedShift]

[celebi23]

Hrm, living in CT & about 3,685 km away. So, what level of fucked am I? :lol

The last time Yellowstone erupted was just 70,000 years ago. The "big" one happens every 600,000 years on average so pretty much shit could go down anytime now.

Well 'eventually' something will happen. The earth is going to need release sooner or later. You can't stroke the stone for 640,000 years and not expect something to come out.

$20 we're all already dead before it happens, though.

 

[BakedPigeon]

Well if the big one blows every 600,000 years and its already been 640,000 years since the last one then yea I would say anytime. smartass.

Give or take 10,000 or so years, right?

 

[BakedPigeon]

Hofefully soon. I would rather go out by a super volcano then nuclear warfare.

Kind of the same effect if your in close enough proximity. If not yeah radiation sucks.

 

[wenis]

screw this...im going to the shed.

Spoiler

anyone feel like taking in a 3-d artist over in the UK? I'm toilet trained.

 

[JBuccCP]

I guess going into an underground tornado shelter would be a bad idea since I doubt I could get the door open with 6 feet of ash on it.

 

[perfectchaos007]

I think he's talking about the massive Tsunami that's supposed to destroy the East coast when this huge Island off the coast of Africa collapses.

Oh, well there's far, far more to NY then NYC. I've never been to NYC.

A tsunami would have to be roughly 3000 feet when it reached NYC, to get here. We calculated it somewhere. And a 3000 foot tsunami is pretty much impossible.

You live in Buffalo or something? You'll still be in trouble. 12 million NYC residents running your way. Good luck!

Yeah Buffalo.

I'm all for 12 million NYC residents. Price gouging :lol

You get to starve to death. Assuming some anarchist doesn't kill you first:lol

 

[Zozz]

If that shit happens I'm going out with a bang! fucking huge orgy is the on the top of my list.

 

[Insane Metal]

Any news? Did it blow up already?

 

[Insane Metal]

Holy crap

O_O

 

[The Elite]

Holy crap

O_O

Wait? 207 Earthquakes?

 

[GHG]

Yeh 207 since the 27th of December...

I picked a bad time to come back to the states, didn't I.

At long as you're east of the Mississippi, you probably have a good chance of survival. :lol

 

[kevm3]

Everything is happening at once.

Well, seems prophecy is fulfilled.

 

[sprsk]

Well, I have my plane ticket ready for the 5th, let's hope she can hold till then.




((((((

 

[iced lightning]

It's probably just a tease before the big blast in 2012...

 

[Darklord]

Isn't it the deeper the quake, the worse it is? Most aren't deep but there are a few like 16 miles down, weak ones but the lava is only 10 miles down.

 

[Ydahs]

I've watched quite a few documentaries about this! The large eruption will affect most, if not all the world, plunging the Earth into freezing temperatures as the sun will be blocked. It'll stop global warming!

[Bill_the_Butcher]

I'm just going to use the plan I have filed under "Invasion, Zombie"

I'm going to get a shit load of guns and barricade up in a grocery store or a pharmacy and shoot any mf'er that tries to get in. When the food supplies run out, I'm going to OD on pain killers.

 

[IntelliHeath]

affect most; so what place that would be more likely to be safe?

 

[XiaNaphryz]

Not really...prevailing winds will generally push all the ash and crap east. It'll take a while for it to eventually go around the world and hit the western US. In reality, the entire world's fucked, those who don't die in the immediate eruption will have a much slower, worse fate if humanity doesn't figure out how to survive the post-nuclear-like winter that's in store.

 

[Darklord]

affect most; so what place that would be more likely to be safe?

Southern hemisphere, other wide of the world I'd guess. The further, the better. Places like Australia ect.

We wouldn't be wiped out from this. Although, it could start a war. With America crippled other countries can take advantage or, hell, even America striking to get a livable area for it's people. Probably not but always possible.

 

[tak]

ah, man, yellowstone is the only good part of Wyoming. The rest is cows and grass.

 

[Mkliner]

Shit time to move into a vault I guess.

 

[JaseMath]

I live in Denver...life was good while it lasted.

 

[Ether_Snake]

Oh look more 3.0+ earthquakes on the 31st. Even a 3.6.

Hmmm! They don't put those in red for nothing!

http://www.seis.utah.edu/req2webdir/recenteqs/Maps/Yellowstone_full.html

Funny that everyone was talking about aliens, meteors, nuclear war. Nope, some random Volcano in a state nobody ever hears about will destroy the WORLD!

 

[Seth C]

Safe in england.

I got room for a gaffer or two if ye need accommodation.

Can I come live there anyway? I want to see England.
