My daughter was watching this on the Discovery channel...amazing stuff...

They found fossils near Omaha, NE buried under 2 meters of volcanic ash...that came from a volcano 1000 miles away in IDAHO.

Yellowstone National Park could realistically blow up some day. That's about the biggest event that could happen close to North Dakota (outside of a 365-day blizzard).

Scary stuff, indeed. I'm still on the Global killing asteroid bandwagon, though...

I think we are due for the search function to get working.

I wonder if they would consider drilling Yellowstone to "relieve pressure"?

Discussed before?

There was a big article here about a year ago describing something that's growing in the biggest lake there. Apparently, there's a very large underground bulge in the lake that's been growing pretty rapidly. It sounds like an eruption coming from the bottom of a lake bed could get pretty messy. It kind of scared me off from going there.

I dunno. I sure wouldn't want to be within a hundred miles of that drill when it broke into the high-pressure area.

Istanbul/ Constantinople is supposedly due for a big quake.

Yeah, take a look at that link.

They noticed that one end of the lake was "flooding". After researching it, they actually found that the lake bed was RISING...almost 12 inches in like 50 years...

Yet another right-wing Republican ploy to mess with the natural environment.
