What about the supervolcano[1] risk around Yellowstone, or the megatsunami[2] risk from intraoceanic volcanic islands on either cost or near Lituya Bay in Alaska[3], or meteors? Where do you go to avoid meteors?

- ambiguity 16y agoFrom what I remember, if the volcano at Yellowstone does erupt, pretty much everyone will be screwed.
- dfischer 16y agoIs there any speculation on how much of a forewarning we'd have if it were to erupt?
- tzs 16y agoConsidering that the ash bed from the last Yellowstone super-volcano eruption extends southwest almost to Los Angeles, south to Mexico, southeast to the Gulf, east almost to the Great Lakes, and northeast to Canada, "risk around Yellowstone" is a massive understatement. Super-volcanos are amazing in how widespread their destruction is.
