S.O.S Surfs up at Yellowstone.
 

Just giving my fellow subsimers a heads up . During the month January 2010, starting on the 17 th USGS detected 1700 earthquakes on the northwest rim of the Yellowstone Caldera the largest of them a 3.8 on january 21 2010. Check USGS Yellowstone Observatory, or search yellowstone volcano. USGS released statement Feb 3, 2010 about increased activity in the last 24hrs. Activity inside a volcano not volcanic makes sense to me brouht to you by the same people that gave you Katrina.

Not to be a dick, but what does this have to do with US submarines in the pacific and modding SH4?:06:

NO offence taken
 

No offence taken . Just once in awhile you got to pop the hatch and take alook around . So if it looks like a duck, and acts like a duck , it must be a duck. So when you:haha: hear a little rumbling and it gets alittle louder and louder, while you are trying to figure out why a mod dosen't work you'll know it's not the beaney and wheannies that your mommy fed you. That's what it has to do about US submarines in the pacific and modding SH4, you look out for your buddies or did you forget that.

USMC.

OH-RAAH!

Semper Fi,:salute:

Has anybody heard this on the news
 

The way I found this out was from a homeless guy I know.Then ckecked it out online. HELL of way to find this out. Don't support people that are not:rock: willing to take care of thier own.

ok where did I move to?
 

where did I go?:salute:

Welcome to the General Topics forum, home of revolutionaries, counter-revolutionaries, political assassinations, backstabbing, stabbacking and all manner of ill behaviour...

...Or maybe that's just my imagination...

I feel much better now
 

feels like home all warm and fuzzy like

all warm and fuzzy

That's scary stuff. If the heat vent that feeds the Yellowstone region every gets plugged up, that could cause the mother of all volcanic eruptions:o, destroying most of the Western US.

Geologist have known there is a 'super volcano' of sorts buried deep beneath that region.

It is also well known for hundreds of events its almost a constant thing.

However that being said there has been a greater frequency and magnatude of rumblings there as of late.

Therotically it has the potential of massive destruction but no one really anticipates it.

Sounds like she's planning on an active year this year. I wonder what the geysers are doing, more or less active than before? :hmmm:

Well, that's something at least. :) Quite the swarm though, something to keep one eye on as the month goes on.

EDIT: EDIT:
Disregard that. That's 2009...THIS is 2010

No, that's just your graphics card and/or router :yep:

Doesn't Yellowstone get like that every year?

Arrgh, stop reminding me of my router, I'm trying to make myself forget that thing exists!

Some years more than others, 1985 was the last record with 3000 quakes registered over three months. If this continues for the same time period at its current level of activity it will probably exceed the '85 record, however there's just as much of a likelihood that it will peter out over the next three weeks. All the initial signs point to the swarms being caused by fault movement as opposed to magma movement, so that's good and the surface warning signs aren't prevalent, although like the release says, it's winter, there's snow on the ground so some signs might be missed. Data on how the ground is moving is being gathered at the moment so we'll see whether it's a subsidence or growth, since it's in the north-west corner of the caldera I'd put my money on growth.
So, business as usual at the moment, but like I said, it's something to keep one eye on in case things change, but not something worth running to the hills about, although like the opening post says, might be a good time for surfing in the lake, particularly if any slides take place! :haha::hmmm:

hmm if she does"blow" wounder how that would affect the east us coast.:hmmm: probably get covered with ash... and stuff...

probably like the Pompeii from hell.:o

There was a "docudrama" about this on... I think was it NatGeo, or maybe Discovery Channel, a few years back.

The estimated guess was that pretty much everything west of the Mississippi would be either gone or take enough ash fallout to kill anything and anyone that breathed and did not manage to get far enough east in time (which would be made difficult or impossible by the failure of mass transit systems and general panic). Landscape would be utterly devastated, all agriculture in those regions wiped out. Goodbye, Breadbasket of America.

East of the river I'd think it wouldn't be so great either, depending on how much ash made it how far. Even without that to deal with, you'd be looking at a tremendous loss of natural resources at the very least including food production which (it was speculated) would cause problems in any part of the world that depends largely on North America as a source of grain and other agricultural products.

That's not even considering the masssive loss of life involved. :cry:

Yeah, pretty much. No sun for quite a few months, no air travel, road travel difficult unless road sweepers are out non-stop, average temperatures plummet (there was a dip after Mt St. Helens went up IIRC), roof collapses after ash build up (that's one of the main things you need to look out for), mass crop devastation, supply shortages due to panic buying, hoarding, civil disorder, brown-outs, black-outs, loss of telephonic communications (overground cables pulled down by settling ash, transformers shorting out).
Off the top of my head that's some of it, although looking at the distance between Yellowstone and the eastern seaboard, you'd probably be spared the worst of the ash but would receive at the very least 1cm of it (all of the US would get min/max 1cm).
I've heard it referred to a mini-nuclear winter, of course the likelihood of a nuclear winter occurring after an exchange is something which has received much debate, particularly during the Cold War, and thus some of the descriptions of a 'nuclear winter' might not apply to such a scenario, however it'd be pretty reasonable to assume that a northern hemisphere average temperature drop of a few degrees would be likely.

Although TF, if I were you, I'd be more concerned about the volcano at La Palma:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Megatsunami#Canary_Islands

Although, it's a fair bit more likely that the Yellowstone caldera would go up, than a mega-tsunami would be generated by the collapse of the Cumbre Vieja, however it's still something that cannot be counted completely one hundred percently out. Certainly nothing to lose sleep over though, both Yellowstone and the Canary Islands :03:
