I’m sure I was not alone in conjuring up visions of a super volcano finally awakening. See Below.

If the Yellowstone Supervolcano erupted, it would make Mt. St. Helens’ 1980 eruption look like a muffled cough.
Helluva place to put a National Park:

GGGood job the visitors wore their running shoes today, and avoided the boiling fall-out, if Yellowstone really erupted, it would be an early test of solar engineering and a 1 in 730,000 chance, or the same as a very large asteroid hitting the Earth.
oops – Same chance as a very large asteroid . . .
That was not a “huge” eruption. It was a very small eruption; indeed, on the grand scale it wasn’t much more than a popped pimple. Given all I’ve learned about volcanoes since witnessing St Helens erupt, St Helens was barely an eruption: by definition but not much more … Yellowstone goes we might have enough time to say goodbye. If an actual honest-to-goodness hydrothermal eruption were to occur, even a small one, it would be a major event
Beats choking on our farts …
