I've got some money riding on this. The board Svengali has spoken....and trust me, I know all about that "burnt feeling". **ringy-dingy** http://www.fema.gov/emergency/reports/2008/nat123108.shtm Now that FEMA is monitoring the situation, I feel so much safer.

roblindblad Posted January 2, 2009 Share Posted January 2, 2009 Well if you're looking for a Svengali it ain't me your looking for cause I'm neither evil nor a hypnotist and whether you win or loose the bet you won't be around to collect it in this lifetime anyways Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eternal light Posted January 4, 2009 Share Posted January 4, 2009 There have been 98 small quakes since this thread began. The strongest one happened before the thread started and measured 3.9 on 12/28/08. The most recent one occurred just after midnight today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

manderlyh Posted January 4, 2009 Share Posted January 4, 2009 Well, I live about five hours West of Yellowstone, so hopefully, we'll be okay. But if we're not okay, what can I do about it? Oh, nothing. C'est la vie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eternal light Posted January 4, 2009 Share Posted January 4, 2009 Stay out of the 60 mile radius of Yellowstone as long as the earthquakes persist. These earthquakes could signal an imminent eruption. If you are outside of a 60 mile radius of http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zh9zVXUv-Fs, you are far enough away that you could possibly survive the initial blast from a volcanic eruption, but close enough that you would have to deal with falling ash at the very least, and perhaps would need to rapidly escape an expanding pyroclastic flow. It's important to note that the the volcano in the Yellowstone caldera is considered to be significantly more powerful than Mount Saint Helens, so you would be in real danger. As soon as a dome begins to form in the http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jca6dsZXneM, it is time to plan an escape route, which you should take a few days in advance of the eruption. You should keep a careful eye on the daily activity of the volcano from now on. Stay in touch with friends and relatives in other parts of the country in advance of the eruption. I knew someone who was in Portland when Mount Saint Helens erupted. He told me that it was very dark in the city during the day because of the volcanic ash. You would take the same precautions as for an earthquake, flood and fire, and try to have an escape route if possible. With so many earthquakes happening now at the Yellowstone caldera, this would be a good time to prepare for an escape, before it happens. Know where the closest airports are, the routes to reach them, and have your credit card ready. Familiarize yourself with a map of the caldera and the area of the 60 mile radius; the area outside of this 60 mile radius is your first escape route, away from the center of the eruption. Get to know the roads, their names, the intersections, the features of the landscape and so on. Also be aware that the 60 mile radius is not certain; you may actually need more distance, perhaps a 100 mile radius or more. It's better to be further away from the center of the eruption before it happens. If you're in Pocatello you're probably too close for the initial blast; you would also be too close for the first eruption in Idaho Falls, Bozeman, Billings, Ogden, Evanston, Green River, Rock Springs, Sheridan, Rexburg, Cody, Riverton, Lander, Powell, Butte, Helena, Lewistown and areas inbetween. These areas are all inside of the 100 mile radius of Yellowstone. Salt Lake City might be too close for the first explosion; it's just outside of the 100 mile radius from Yellowstone. Twin Falls, Mountain Home and Nampa are outside of the 100 mile radius, so they are more distant from the first impact. Oregon might be a recommended trip if you could foresee the blast a day in advance. A light earthquake with a preliminary magnitude of 4.4 has struck 2 miles from The Geysers in California, according to emergency officials, which was report about 1 hour ago on http://twitter.com/BreakingNewsOn That is about 400-500 miles from the Yellowstone caldera. The 1980 eruption of Mount St. Helens, a composite volcano located in Washington state, in the United States, was a major volcanic eruption. The eruption was the most significant to occur in the contiguous 48 U.S. states (VEI = 5, 0.3 cu mi, 1.2 km3 of material erupted), in terms of power and volume of material released, since the 1915 eruption of California's Lassen Peak. The eruption was preceded by a two-month series of earthquakes and steam-venting episodes, caused by an injection of magma at shallow depth below the mountain that created a huge bulge and a fracture system on Mount St. Helens' north slope. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1980_eruption...ount_St._Helens Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
