Unless there's a snoozing cousin of Krakatoa there not much to worry about, the only important things within 100 miles are the national parks, not really anything else the rest of us would miss.

Mooey Cow posted:It has been said that during the strongest earthquakes, the ground itself can be seen to move like waves moving across plains. That sounds cool as hell so hopefully now that cameras are ubiquitous, someone can capture this phenomenon. My mom was in Santiago when the 8.0 MW 1985 earthquake hit in Chile, and the yard moved like ripples in a pond. Also the electricity poles exploded and some trees fell down.

I'm definitely not worried and likely nothing will happen but I think it's interesting. I'm only an arm-chair vocanologist, but assuming any new volcanic activity did occur there it would probably be cinder cones which would give cool pictures like this:  The prevailing winds of that area would likely carry ash over Vegas though so that would suck if you live there.

Yellowstone is a supervolcano that erupts every 600,000-800,000 years. It last erupted 640,000 years ago. If it was to erupt again at the same size as the last one 90,000 people would be killed instantly, everything east between Canada and Mexico would be covered in meters of ash, and millions would starve due to the lack of sunlight and complete destruction of America's agricultural heartland.

Just like how the eruption of Mt. Tambora in 1815 caused the year without a summer in 1816, the eruption of Yellowstone would cause the decade without a summer and cause a global cooling cycle for about 1,000 years.

Earthquakes are terrible, but that is part of living on the fault. The other part is fires, but that's just how it goes. There was a big, bad one in 1989 or thereabouts. The 'big one' will come. Takes another 100 years, give or take.

Yellowstone erupts, and it sets off the CA faults, and awakens the New Madrid Fault. C-C-C-COMBO!

I am morbidly curious as to see the effects/damage of the New Madrid fault going off like it did back in uhh the very early 1800s, but mostly I DON'T because I loving live in Northeast Arkansas . It'd be loving MAD MAX over here. Nothing is built to withstand earthquakes of any magnitude.

I fully plan on blaming the quake for breaking the glass on my picture frames, and not on my not paying attention to where I put them down while doing a big reorganization.

i don't believe in earthquakes. i'm a member of the steady-earth movement. "earthquakes" are tests of advanced military gravitational technology built in 1999 to steal resources from Saddam Hussein, now it's being adapted to disrupt legal medical marijuana grows in California and around the world
