Billy_Bob, in reference to your post
here, I asked you what do we do. It's all fine and good to post a mountain of data and speculation, but it all comes down to "okay, what do we do?".
Second, I asked why it is you continue to live in the
initial kill zone of a super volcano if you have a deep suspicion that it is going to blow and end life as we know it. Since I have been accused of having ulterior motives and trying to pry into your personal life, let me expand and give you some kind of idea why I ask this.
I live in an area that would be the #2 target (behind Washington DC) in the event of a nuclear strike. If I were to be listening to my radio and hear the EMS broadcast that the balloon had gone up (ICBM launch), there would be precious little I could do to survive it. Missile flight time from Russia, over the pole, is about 30 minutes; much less (around 15 minutes) for a launch from a SSBN. At that point, it would make sense to hug and kiss my family, climb up on the roof and get a front row seat for the end my little area of the world. Point being, I understand there is a bit of a fatalistic attitude when it comes to events of mass destruction that one can do nothing to alter or abolish.
However, if I had ample warning of such an event, I would be doing everything that I could to move my family as far away from that area and to a more safe one; one in which I could eventually join them. That, in my opinion, would be the safe thing to do. Trip and yourself have been sounding the alarm on Yellowstone for well over a year and it seems that the longer it goes, the less you seem to "hear" from anyone that may be able to pass you data and the more serious the situation seems to become. It would seem that would be enough to get my family moving somewhere safer than where you are.
That, Billy_Bob, and nothing else is the basis for my question. If you find your way back here, I would like to know why it is you continue to stay where you are with the knowledge you have.
