Well the discovery channel had something about the super volcano aspect awhile back......
I used that as reason not to permanently move to Wyoming....
So yellowstone blows, polar ice caps melt, 2012 happens, polar shifts etc.......and then the asteroid slams into earth and the Aliens return!
Lions, tigers and bears .....OH MY!
Seeing how I am not pretty locked into my location ........I figure I am screwed, just let me know when to kiss hubby and kids goodbye!
I *heart* volcanoes. I've a strange fascination with them.
I've even put it in my will that I want my ashes scattered in one. The religious say I am effectively asking to go to Hell. I see it as creation in action--this is where new land comes from. I'd be guaranteed to be far away from wt headquarters, and to never be cold--very important to me.
Hopefully I will be visiting my first one later this year. Yay!
.....if it turned out to be one hell of a disaster ....would she then decide it is Jehovah instead of satan?
Well, if it was a major disaster, then people would be killed indiscriminately, and God is not supposed to do that at the big A. So, just how would it be explained?
There is now a possible bulge developing!
You can find more info from this blog. The original info comes from earthchangesmedia.

Also, if you are curious as to how serious this might be, the following information comes from observations of rapid changes of Yellowstone back in 2003. http://www.cuttingedge.org/news_updates/nz1170.htm
excerpt:
If more steam vents appear, that means a continuous pathway for pressure release has been established to the magma chamber. If that happens, the pressure in the magma chamber will continue to drop until it reaches a critical stage when the superheated water within the magma explodes. When that happens the super-volcano will blow violently, blowing out a chunk of its cap-rock and sending millions of cubic feet of ash into the atmosphere in a Pompeii-like explosion, but 100,000 times worse.
When you hear those reports, you will have about two days to “get out of Dodge” before the eruption. Unfortunately, as the steam venting subsides, there will be a false sense of security. People will think it was just another cyclical event, and the danger is over. But that will be the farthest from the truth. It will be the quiet before the storm. A major earthquake will suddenly rock their towns for hundreds of kilometers around Yellowstone, and soon thereafter 1,000+ degree pyroclastic flows will descend on them at hundreds of miles per hour, extending out to 600+ km (373 miles).
That 600 km radius around the caldera will experience total devastation. The next 600 km out may receive as much as 5-10 feet of ash, depending on wind direction. The thickness of ash will decrease away from the super-volcano, but will reach the crop belt in the Midwest (Missouri, Iowa, Kansas,
Nebraska, etc.), destroying most of the fertile croplands of the United States. California will be hit hard by falling ash, with its central wine valley severely damaged .... Agriculture will have to shift east of the Mississippi for years. The Garden State will once again live up to its name.
I have my volcanic emergency kit: two bags of marshmellows, choc. syrup, graham crackers, and weenies. (beer too)!
Remember Mount St. Helens? This could make that look like a bonfire.
Hope Old Faithful does not blow up. I was in Jackson Hole last winter - awesome.
Things like this have been happening for millions of years. The roaches will survive.

"California will be hit hard by falling ash, with its central wine valley severely damaged .... Agriculture will have to shift east of the Mississippi for years. The Garden State will once again live up to its name. "
The prevailing winds go from west to east, I'd think that places on the west coast would fare better than on the east coast.
YELLOWSTONE VOLCANO OBSERVATORY INFORMATION RELEASE

YELLOWSTONE VOLCANO (CAVW#1205-01-)
44.43°N 110.67°W, Summit Elevation 9203 ft (2805 m)
Volcano Alert Level: NORMAL
Aviation Color Code: GREEN
Yellowstone Lake Earthquake Swarm Update: 2 January 2008
The University of Utah Seismograph Stations reports that as of 1800 MST on 2 January 2009, seismicity of the ongoing Yellowstone earthquake swarm continues. Over 500 earthquakes, as large as M 3.9, have been recorded by an automated earthquake system since the inception of this unusual earthquake sequence that began Dec. 27, 2008. More than 300 of these events have been reviewed and evaluated by seismic analysts. Depths of the earthquakes range from ~ 1km to around 10 km. We note that the earthquakes extend northward from central Yellowstone Lake for ~10 km toward the Fishing Bridge area, with a migration of recent earthquakes toward the north. Some of the dozen M3+ earthquakes were felt in the Lake, Grant Village and Old Faithful areas. Personnel of the Yellowstone Volcano Observatory continue to evaluate this earthquake sequence and will provide information to the NPS, USGS and the public as it evolves.
This earthquake sequence is the most intense in this area for some years. No damage has been reported within Yellowstone National Park, nor would any be expected from earthquakes of this size. The swarm is in a region of historical earthquake activity and is close to areas of Yellowstone famous hydrothermal activity. Similar earthquake swarms have occurred in the past in Yellowstone without triggering steam explosions or volcanic activity. Nevertheless, there is some potential for hydrothermal explosions and earthquakes may continue or increase in magnitude. There is a much lower potential for related volcanic activity.
The University of Utah operates a seismic network in Yellowstone National Park in conjunction with the National Park Service and the U.S. Geological Survey. These three institutions are partners in the Yellowstone Volcano Observatory. Seismic data from Yellowstone are transmitted to the University in real-time by radio and satellite links from a network of 28 seismographs in the Yellowstone area and are available on the web.
Seismologists continue to monitor and analyze data from this swarm of earthquakes and provide updates to the NPS and USGS and to the public via the following web pages.

The Yellowstone Volcano Observatory (YVO) is a partnership of the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), Yellowstone National Park, and University of Utah to strengthen the long-term monitoring of volcanic and earthquake unrest in the Yellowstone National Park region. Yellowstone is the site of the largest and most diverse collection of natural thermal features in the world and the first National Park. YVO is one of the five USGS Volcano Observatories that monitor volcanoes within the United States for science and public safety
Yellowstone Earthquake Swarm Reaches 500 and Counting
Over 500 earthquakes, as large as M 3.9, have been recorded by an automated earthquake system since the inception of this unusual earthquake sequence that began Dec. 27, 2008. More than 300 of these events have been reviewed and evaluated by seismic analysts. Jan 3, 2009 - 3:28:11 PM
Clearly this is because Obama was elected President and we all know he's really a Muslim terrorist bent on tax-and-spend. And we don't want to drink the kool-aid (whatever that means).

Obama is a secret volcano. I knew it.
