If the Yellowstone Super Volcano were to erupt, it would be 2,000 times bigger than the eruption of Mount St. Helens in the 1980′s. Everything within 500 miles would be dead or destroyed within minutes, 2/3rds of the entire United States would be covered in volcanic ash and the climate of the entire planet would cool within a month. On top of that, just this past week, the largest earthquake in the US took place just a few miles from Yellowstone proving hot magma is on the move.

Channeling Harry Reid:

"This is a direct result of disastrous Republican policies. President Ulysses Grant, a Republican, signed into law the formation of Yellowstone, and since that time millions of gas guzzling SUV's carrying Tea Party racists from the Deep South have trampled this pristine land which has caused the molten lava to rise to the surface. Even the lava hates evil Tea Party Republicans. Let's put the blame where it lies."

History Channel has a series called Mega Disasters. They had a show on the Yellowstone super volcano. It is past due for an eruption. If it erupts good bye USA. It would be the greatest natural catastrophe in the history of mankind. Excepting Noah's Flood. The sun wouldn't be seen for a few years.

The Ebola virus says hi.

Scale of Guinea's Ebola epidemic unprecedented -aid agency

CONAKRY, March 31 (Reuters) - Guinea faces an Ebola epidemic on an unprecedented scale as it battles to contain confirmed cases now scattered across several locations that are far apart, medical charity Medecins Sans Frontieres said on Monday.


The warning from an organisation used to tackling Ebola in Central Africa comes after Guinea's president appealed for calm as the number of deaths linked to an outbreak on the border with Liberia and Sierra Leone hit 80.


The outbreak of one of the world's most lethal infectious diseases has spooked a number of governments with weak health systems, prompting Senegal to close its border with Guinea and other neighbours to restrict travel and cross-border exchanges.

Glad to see you blaming the Republicans rather than saying it's because Obama is the Anti-Christ. You are beginning to emerge from the darkness! :smile:

Guys, I don't mean to be a smart butt, but what I was referring to was something like the flu of 1918 that killed 50 million plus people. This ebola outbreak, while terrifying if you are in close proximity to them, is really VERY tiny as the common flu kills 36k americans each year. It's kinda like taking a 2 year old out in the ocean who can't swim and being more worried about the rarest shark in the ocean killing the child than of the child drowning. Oh and just to help you guys sleep at night, most of the emergency water filtration systems that are excellent at removing bacteria and protozoa, don't remove viruses at all. Sweet dreams, I am sure that cough is harmless ;)

Oh, I blame the government If only a tax had been imposed to throw money into the fault line this would not be a problem we might, possibly have to face sometime in ten centuries.

Had we built geothermal plants around Yellowstone it would have served two purposes 1) cheap, clean electricity; and 2) taken the pressure off of Yellowstone to explode.
