2. This sort of geographic stability is why we have so many nuclear missile silos there- wait, WHAT?!?

Crazy crazy.

6. They are on the eastern side of the state... to my knowledge..

12. Sounds like you've never been to WY so don't know all the local geography, but

I will clue you in.

Eastern WY = western NE, SD = pancakelike across large areas
Western WY = Rocky Mountains, Yellowstone, Tetons, etc

5. Beyond the earthquake fault along the Tetons & supervolcanos

in Yellowstone, this area is exceedingly vulnerable to an incredible disaster. (even without Cheney in the works)

7. "When don Genaro farts, the mountains tremble"

[Ruby the Liberal]

8. wow - that looks dangerously close to Yellowstone

[Poll_Blind]

10. Geologic activity next to the Yellowstone Caldera is something I actively put out of my mind.

It may, literally, be the one or two things I actively remain almost entirely ignorant about since learning far, far too much about the matter.

There are few facts in this world, nomatter how depressing, that I usually don't what to know about, but that one....well...I can make an exception.

11. a big "me too" on that. along with near earth orbit asteroids.

[awoke_in_2003]

13. yep- if it goes there will be

nothing that can be done

[Ruby the Liberal]

16. I hear ya.

The thought of the caldera going off is terrifying to me. This EQ is waaaaay to close for comfort.

9. I've been having a feeling

Since yesterday that we have something big coming. I sometimes get feelings up to a week before major earthquakes, etc.

Hopefully I'm just having some random anxiety but this report validated that I'm feeling "something"'.

Hope everything is okay out there!

[Ruby the Liberal]

17. You and me both. Something is up.

:(

[kestrel91316]

14. The caldera speaks.

[meow mix]

15. crap, when the super volcano blows ive got about 3 minutes to live

they said on tv the blast wave will reach us at about 800 mph. (20 miles north of the park)

not happy to see this!!

[AC_Mem]

18. Ugh - still feeling the anxiety

I'm still getting that anxiety feeling I get before big earth shakers, volcanos, etc. And I had a dream night before last where I saw a big "7.9" -that was it - just those numbers.

Again, hopefully it is just general anxiety because I'm so keyed up about the elections, but I wanted to actually record it. Is anyone else feeling anxious about something big happening, earth wise?
