The Earthquake Thread

[Bill]

Nope. We'd pretty much all be in serious trouble.

I hope they're looking for ways to vent the pressure.

 

[Spidey-Bat]

It's the Chinese. They're digging through the center of the earth to invade us.


On a serious note, that's some scary **** about what could happen.

2012 man!

Nuke Fallout Shelter?

we need to get lead-lined refrigirators out west at once....if they can survive a nuke they can survive a valcano.

Go away.

Maybe the CHUDS are angry.

Or the gravitational flux from the planet approaching the galactic center is jamming up the Earth's core.

Scientists wonder if the shaking might presage a larger event. This month's swarm is the most intense in this area for some years, scientists said. It is centered on the east side of the Yellowstone caldera, a giant basin created in a colossal eruption some 620,000 years ago.

Researchers have long predicted that the Yellowstone supervolcano will eventually erupt again, with devastating consequences for much of the United States. Half the country could be covered in ash up to 3 feet (1 meter) deep, one study predicts. But those same researchers say nothing suggests such an eruption is imminent. They point out, however, that Yellowstone seems to blow its top about every 600,000 years.

seems like we are overdue.

 

[Bunker]

I live about 100 miles away from Yellowstone.

I'm screwed.

 

[Gennith]

Sweet - Wont effect us.

Sweet - Wont effect us.

Sure it will. America's bread basket will become an ashtray. Better start your own garden now in your back yard and learn how to make bread.

Micheal J. Fox on vacation? :???:

 

[black_dust]

Nasty stuff, glad im over a massive ocean away from it all

 

[Mike_D202]

I just dont understand how they can say that the whole nation could be under 5 inches of lava. Dont they take into account valleys, rivers, hills, mountains, etc.?

They are speaking like everything is level.

 

[enterthemadness]

Well...depressing news, but nothing I cna do bout it, cept move away. I liev in eastern nc though....so bout as far away I can get from that trouble without moving overseas.

 

[The Senator]

Um... for those of you who think this won't affect you, think again. Once the supervolcano erupts, the entire earth will experience nuclear winter, and the earth's ecosystem will be dramatically impacted.

Ah, it's nothing Tommy Lee Jones and Anne Heche cant fix.

 

[souvlaki]

seems like we are overdue.

Actually, 620,000 years is a conservative estimate. All the articles I've read on the subject have said we've gone 640,000 years without an eruption which means we are really overdue.

Exactly. It's pretty much a choice between instant death, or slow starvation.

 

[Morg]

I recall Discovery Channel doing a what if movie of what would happen if the super volcano erupted, was interesting to watch and scary too

 

[Hobgoblin]

Well, we're boned.

The good news is I can eat all the bacon cheeseburgers I want. Screw cholesterol! *prays for giant eruption*

 

[Fading]

I'm...sorry to tell you this, but the eruption won't happen in your lifetime. The fat from the bacon cheeseburgers all went to your thighs, and that girl you knocked up last night thinking it didn't matter since the world is ending? She's pregnant....triplets.

We'll be alright over in the UK - we already have a pretty crappy winter

 

[Vilya]

Super Volcano ...... run peeps

Wait.....

I had sex last night?
