robotech_masterGeologists speculate that Yellowstone Park may soon (and not just in geological terms) be the site of a gigantic volcanic eruption. Possible effects including the deaths of "everything living within a 600 mile radius". Apparently the volcano's ~40,000 years overdue, and there's a lot of suspicious geological activity going on.
Color me creeped out.

There are also three or four other supervolcanoes that are in the 'almost ready to go off' stage throughout the world.
So. I'd look around for additional information.
