Yellowstone about to blow

There are few real contingency plans in place to deal with the ticking time bomb, which they conclude is likely to go off within the next 80 years.

The world's most dangerous active volcanoes include Yellowstone, Mount Vesuvius in Campagnia, Italy, and Popocatépetl i near Mexico City.

If Yellowstone blows everything within 1000 miles will be affected.

It's gonna be YUGE!

Might be a good time to get that Service Master franchise. There's going to be a lot of clean-up work.

I warned you all this would happen!!!

663 to Malheur National Wildlife Refuge. Just sayin'.

No need to change yet. I've read, or seen on Discovery or TLC, that we get about 10 years notice. We're not due for another 250,000 years, although there is no guarantee. It could be another 250,000 years after that, or start showing the warning signs next week. I wonder if the Four Corners area is safe, but I'm thinking not. It looks like the Four Corners is right on the edge of the primary ash zone, and the secondary ash zone will be no picnic.

This scares me, even though I'm sure we're millennia away from the upcoming disastrous event.

I'll bet it would be safe in Hawaii!

Yes, you should go there. Now.

I'd like to know what headline writer actually believes that a 5 to ten percent chance of something happening at "one of the major volcanoes" is considered "likely."

Yellowstone is fearsome, no doubt, but I'm much more concerned about the danger and lack of preparation for an earthquake in the Pacific Northwest.
