Like I said, stock up on canned food and shotguns. A geyser at Yellowstone has erupted for the fourth time in 18 months. "Not a big deal, they go off all the time right?"
No. This one historically has erupted every fifty years.
"Big deal, it's just a geyser, right?"
No, it's the biggest geyser in the world and it's sitting on a geological timebomb that could drive the human species to the brink of extinction. So like I said, stock up on canned food and shotguns.

From the December 2003 Idaho Observer:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Scientists closely monitoring Yellowstone
Recent eruptions, 200 degree ground temperatures, bulging magma and 84 degree water temperatures prompt heightened srutiny of park's geothermal activity
Keep in mind that Yellowstone Lake is a high mountain lake with very cold water temperatures. The Lake is now closed to the public. It is filled with dead fish floating everywhere. The same is true of the Yellowstone river and most of the other streams in the Park. Dead and dying fish are filling the water everywhere.
Many of the picnic areas in the Park have been closed and people visiting the Park usually stay but a few hours before leaving since the stench of sulfur is so strong they literally can't stand the smell.
The irony of all this is the silence by the news media and our government.
Others close to the story are convinced that a massive eruption is imminent. A source that has demonstrated first-hand knowledge of the park's history and recent geothermal events stated the following: “The American people are not being told that the explosion of this 'super volcano' could happen at any moment. When Yellowstone does blow, some geologists predict that every living thing within six hundred miles is likely to die. The movement of magma has been detected just three-tenths of a mile below the bulging surface of the ground in Yellowstone raising concerns that this super volcano may erupt soon.”
