I really don't get very worked up about any topic that is a doomsday cataclysmic prediction. In my lifetime none of them have ever come true. If they did come true I wouldn't be around to congratulate the person who predicted it. I do love it though when the time comes that the latest cataclysm predictor has to eat their words when the cataclysm day they predicted comes and goes. I have seen plenty of them.
Gloom and Doom???
nope..
I live in the initial kill zone around Yellowstone. I am personal friends with some of the vulcanologists who service Yellowstone. I have had my communications monitored to the point of ending friendships.. this is PERSONAL...
I watch because the information flow from our government has ceased!
You can call me a "gloom and doomer" if you so choose. I really dont care..
I watch and listen.. I also inform when I can..
its a matter of choice.. a matter of life and death for me.. if I miss the signs it kills my family.
so lets recount what is going on..
land mass rise of a 200 mile radius around Yellowstone, almost 2 feet in the last ten years.
water table flow changes out to 350 miles..
quake swarms, many of which are shallow (less than a mile in depth)
changes in geyser activity throughout Yellowstone
changes in the Magma chamber which have triggered multiple surveys by USGS (one in dead of winter)
movement of USGS office staff to a place outside initial blast and ash fallout zones.
subsurface temperatures in excess of 115 degrees F at 16" of depth.
drilling of monitoring wells throughout Yellowstone and surrounding areas some which are now steam vents.
this just scratches the surface of what I can personally confirm..
you all want to play the belittling game... ?? that's on you.. I came to share... to inform...
