Pack Your Bags Folks, We're Going Away

Oh,yeah, I forgot to mention : "WATCH OUT FOR THAT VOLCANO!" I'm sure this is just another whacko conspiracy theory so don't pay attention to it at all. I'm just going to get my laundry together here and take some food and pack it all up and drive on over to the laundromat in Maine for a minute. No, don't get up, you can stay and see if Dan Rather, or that Canadian feller y'all like to listen to, says anything about an eye on America for you.

Scientists closely monitoring Yellowstone Recent eruptions -- 200 degree ground temperatures, bulging magma and 84 degree water temperatures prompt heightened srutiny of park's geothermal activity

BILLINGS, Mont. -- Yellowstone National Park happens to be on top of one of the largest âsuper volcanoesâ in the world. Geologists claim the Yellowstone Park area has been on a regular eruption cycle of 600,000 years. The last eruption was 640,000 years ago making the next one long overdue. This next eruption could be 2,500 times the size of the 1980 Mount St. Helens eruption.

Volcanologists have been tracking the movement of magma under the park and have calculated that, in parts of Yellowstone, the ground has risen over seventy centimeters this century.

In July, 2003, Yellowstone Park rangers closed the entire Norris Geyser Basin because of deformation of the land and excessive high ground temperatures. There is an area that is 28 miles long by 7 miles wide that has bulged upward over five inches since 1996, and this year the ground temperature on that bulge has reached over 200 degrees (measured one inch below ground level). There was no choice but to close off the entire area.

Everything in this area is dying: The trees, flowers, grass and shrubs. A dead zone is developing and spreading outward. The animals are literally migrating out of the park. Then during the last part of July one of the Park geologists discovered a huge bulge at the bottom of Yellowstone Lake. The bulge has already risen over 100 feet from the bottom of the lake and the water temperature at the surface of the bulge has reached 88 degrees and is still rising. Keep in mind that Yellowstone Lake is a high mountain lake with very cold water temperatures.

The Lake is now closed to the public. It is filled with dead fish floating everywhere. The same is true of the Yellowstone river and most of the other streams in the Park. Dead and dying fish are filling the water everywhere.

Many of the picnic areas in the Park have been closed and people visiting the Park usually stay but a few hours before leaving since the stench of sulfur is so strong they literally can't stand the smell.

The irony of all this is the silence by the news media and our government. Very little information is available from Yellowstone personnel or publications. What mainstream newsstories do appear underscore the likelihood of a massive volcanic eruption. Though geologists publicly admit Yellowstone is âoverdue,â they have been quoted as stating another massive magma release may not occur for 100,000 or 2 million years.

Others close to the story are convinced that a massive eruption is imminent. A source that has demonstrated first-hand knowledge of the park's history and recent geothermal events stated the following: âThe American people are not being told that the explosion of this 'super volcano' could happen at any moment.

"When Yellowstone does blow, some geologists predict that every living thing within six hundred miles is likely to die. The movement of magma has been detected just three-tenths of a mile below the bulging surface of the ground in Yellowstone raising concerns that this super volcano may erupt soon.â

I think anyone who thinks they can predict any even vague time frame for the eruption is whacko. There is just no way to tell. By Sept ?! I'm not going to lose any sleep over it.

I'm the type of person that looks forward to natural disasters. I quess I'm bored by whats going on in the world today.
When it comes to Yellowstone I don't think there is much to worry about. I work at Palo Duro Canyon State Park in Texas. It took 250,000,000 years of deposition and the 1,000,000 years of erosion to form. Nothing in geology happens overnight. Sure, things are going on in Yellowstone, but not tomaorrow or 100 years from now. Maybe we should get O'Reilly to do an investigation. That will cause more of an eruption than the volcanoe itself.

do you people think that our goverment is really going to tell us everything that's going on at yellowstone,i can sum it up for you in one word,"no" they don't want to cause a panic,and u want to talk about a conspiracy what about the the ufo conspiracy as bad as i hate to say it our goverment just lets us know, only on a need to know bases which by then is sometimes to late,i suggest that people use there own senes on logic in determining what's the truth and conspiracy,it's but i choose to read between the line's on this myself thank you and yes i've been to yellowstone too

this is interesting.

I wonder how or when it will erupt and what indicators will arise when it does so.

end the end, this is not the astriod from outer space that we can probably stop, this is a volcano that will erupt when it feels like it.

we can all move away from it now or not and live there for 1000 years.
Personally, I am one to NOT live near a volcano that is obviously active, but with Yellow Stone, there isn't much to move away from. Whole states would be barren.

Check Google Maps
YellowStone

Its in the middle of the USA.

Now let talk about the Koran and one person stating that the US will have a sunami hit it in 2007 and wash out half of America. Maybe he was wrong and it is Yellow Sone in 2007?
