Yellowstone Supervolcano Alert: The Most Dangerous Volcano In America Is Roaring To Life

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.


Right now, the ground underneath Yellowstone National Park is rising at a record rate. In fact, it is rising at the rate of about three inches per year. The reason why this is such a concern is because underneath the park sits the Yellowstone supervolcano – the largest volcano in North America. Scientists tell us that it is inevitable that it will erupt again one day, and when it does the devastation will be almost unimaginable. A full-blown eruption of the Yellowstone supervolcano would dump a 10 foot deep layer of volcanic ash up to 1,000 miles away, and it would render much of the United States uninhabitable. When most Americans think of Yellowstone, they tend to conjure up images of Yogi Bear and “Old Faithful”, but the truth is that sleeping underneath Yellowstone is a volcanic beast that could destroy our nation in a single day and now that beast is starting to wake up.

The Yellowstone supervolcano is so vast that it is hard to put it into words. According to the Daily Mail, the magma “hotspot” underneath Yellowstone is approximately 300 miles wide…

The Yellowstone Caldera is one of nature’s most awesome creations and sits atop North America’s largest volcanic field.

Its name means ‘cooking pot’ or ‘cauldron’ and it is formed when land collapses following a volcanic explosion.

In Yellowstone, some 400 miles beneath the Earth’s surface is a magma ‘hotspot’ which rises to 30 miles underground before spreading out over an area of 300 miles across.

Atop this, but still beneath the surface, sits the slumbering volcano.

When most Americans think of volcanic eruptions in the United States, they remember the catastrophic eruption of Mount St. Helens back in 1980. But that eruption would not even be worth comparing to a full-blown eruption of the Yellowstone supervolcano.

And now the area around Yellowstone is becoming increasingly seismically active. In fact, Professor Bob Smith says that he has never seen anything like this in the 53 years that he has been watching Yellowstone

Until recently, Bob Smith had never witnessed two simultaneous earthquake swarms in his 53 years of monitoring seismic activity in and around the Yellowstone Caldera.

Now, Smith, a University of Utah geophysics professor, has seen three swarms at once.

In September, 130 earthquakes hit Yellowstone over the course of a single week. This has got many Yellowstone observers extremely concerned

Yellowstone’s recent earthquake swarms started on Sept. 10 and were shaking until about 11:30 a.m. Sept. 16.

“A total of 130 earthquakes of magnitude 0.6 to 3.6 have occurred in these three areas, however, most have occurred in the Lower Geyser Basin,” a University of Utah statement said. “Notably much of seismicity in Yellowstone occurs as swarms.”

So what is the worst case scenario?

Well, according to the Daily Mail, a full-blown eruption of Yellowstone could leave two-thirds of the United States completely uninhabitable…

It would explode with a force a thousand times more powerful than the Mount St Helens eruption in 1980.

Spewing lava far into the sky, a cloud of plant-killing ash would fan out and dump a layer 10ft deep up to 1,000 miles away.

Two-thirds of the U.S. could become uninhabitable as toxic air sweeps through it, grounding thousands of flights and forcing millions to leave their homes.

Can you think of another potential disaster that could accomplish the same thing?

That is why what is going on at Yellowstone right now is so important, and the American people deserve the truth. The following are some more facts about Yellowstone that I compiled that I included in a previous article

#1 A full-scale eruption of Yellowstone could be up to 1,000 time more powerful than the eruption of Mount St. Helens in 1980.

#2 A full-scale eruption of Yellowstone would spew volcanic ash 25 miles up into the air.

#3 The next eruption of Yellowstone seems to be getting closer with each passing year. Since 2004, some areas of Yellowstone National Park have risen by as much as 10 inches.

#4 There are approximately 3,000 earthquakes in the Yellowstone area every single year.

#5 In the event of a full-scale eruption of Yellowstone, virtually the entire northwest United States will be completely destroyed.

#6 A massive eruption of Yellowstone would mean that just about everything within a 100 mile radius of Yellowstone would be immediately killed.

#7 A full-scale eruption of Yellowstone could also potentially dump a layer of volcanic ash that is at least 10 feet deep up to 1,000 miles away.

#8 A full-scale eruption of Yellowstone would cover virtually the entire midwest United States with volcanic ash. Food production in America would be almost totally wiped out.

#9 The “volcanic winter” that a massive Yellowstone eruption would cause would radically cool the planet. Some scientists believe that global temperatures would decline by up to 20 degrees.

#10 America would never be the same again after a massive Yellowstone eruption. Some scientists believe that a full eruption by Yellowstone would render two-thirds of the United States completely uninhabitable.

#11 Scientists tell us that it is not a matter of “if” Yellowstone will erupt but rather “when” the next inevitable eruption will take place.

What makes all of this even more alarming is that a number of other very prominent volcanoes around the world are starting to roar back to life right now as well.

For example, an Inquisitr article from back in July described how “the most dangerous volcano in Mexico” is starting to become extremely active…

Popocatepetl Volcano is at it again. The active volcano near Mexico City erupted again this morning, spewing ash up into the sky.

The volcano is currently in the middle of an extremely active phase. According to the International Business Times, the volcano has registered 39 exhalations in the last 24 hours.

An eruption earlier this month caused several flights to be canceled in and out of Mexico City.

The BBC notes that officials raised the alert level yellow following Popocateptl’s eruption on Saturday morning. Yellow is the third-highest caution level on the city’s seven step scale.

And an NBC News article from August noted that one of the most dangerous volcanoes in Japan has erupted 500 times so far this year…

Ash wafted as high as 3 miles above the Sakurajima volcano in the southern city of Kagoshima on Sunday afternoon, forming its highest plume since the Japan Meteorological Agency started keeping records in 2006. Lava flowed just over half a mile from the fissure, and several huge volcanic rocks rolled down the mountainside.

Though the eruption was more massive than usual, residents of the city of about 600,000 are used to hearing from their 3,664-foot neighbor. Kagoshima officials said in a statement that this was Sakurajima’s 500th eruption this year alone.

So what does all of this mean?

Are we now entering a time when volcanic eruptions will become much more common all over the globe?

Could we rapidly be approaching the day when an absolutely devastating volcanic eruption will paralyze much of North America?

      Have a look at the lake in the centre of New Zealands North Island. It`s called Lake Taupo. In 232 AD it blew up. Not a Mt. St Helens side blowout. The entire huge volcano was sent skyward & left a smallish crater & eventually over time, a lake. Me thinks we all are in for a tectonic slide here & there…

      So, how is it that the professional has never seen anything like this in 53 years, but I saw pretty much this EXACT STORY in 2007?
      Yes, Yellowstone is going to suck when it blows. How shall we prep? Build a spaceship? Learn to fly lavaballs?

      When I went to Yellowstone, I was told that there are earthquakes at least every ten days or there about . You can see that information on their web site as well

      Prophecy wise they say it would blow up but I am waiting for Mount Fuji to blow up so JAPAN SINKS DOWN AND DIES! CAUSE IT’S A PEDO NATION THAT DESERVES IT! As much as other places around the world too.

      yawn.
      volcanoes like the Yellowstone caldera don’t “explode” into life in a milisecond. The dome under the park is lifting, indicative of something occuring. However, since it’s a caldera, lots of things could be happening, from another earthquake or two, to nothing at all. again, You’re writing some great fiction here. Turn it into a book or movie (sorry, that’s been done already) or a TV show (oh, turns out that’s been done also, which is where you may be getting your info), and you’ll make money.

    • doggy do

      The last time the caldera exploded was 640,000 years ago.

      My authority is the KJV of the Bible and this certainly lines up perfectly with what is presented in the Book of Revelation concerning the Last Days. Repent of your sin and turn back to God and Jesus Christ; for there is salvation in no other name given among men than in Him…Jesus, the Christ. God bless you as you work out your own salvation “with fear and trembling”.

      • doggy do

        KJV. That like K of C? Or, NVH? Just saw on here somewhere that God had a wife. It’s proven! It’s here elsewhere on this site, so therefore it’s GOT to be true! so, time for yOU to repent. I mean, why wouldn’t I believe of a guy with a long white beard (white guy of course), who wears a sheet, lives in a cloud, floats around, decides which way caterpillars walk across or round sidewalks, which way a bird will fly today, decides what’s going on in all the multiple universes out there, decides when i take a drink of soda and when not, why i’m surmising that because of all this decision making for all 4 billion of us, that he’s bound to make an error somewhere along the line…wait…if he/she’s god, he/she can’t make an error, unless that picture of a Zeus-like individual living on Olympus, transferred a few eons ago to one living in the clouds–with a wife now, perhaps named Aphrodite–is a falsehood. Again, great fiction. Get a book rep and you’re on your way!

        • doggy do

          BTW, also saw somwehere on here that they found a photo taken by an alien of jesus talking to….somebody…some bearded guy…It’s on here, so it’s GOT to be true!!

        • Anonymous

          There are no errors. Define an error? An error is a programmed belief, we were taught since birth, that doesn’t conform to others expectations. So in all reality errors do not exist. Everything we have been taught is the way of life that conforms us to others thoughts and ideas. So errors really are not truth. What you think is an error could be what it was suppose to be for reasons unknown to you. You are only as smart as the books you read or the people who teach you, and the ones who taught them.
          So realizing this you can learn to think with your heart and not your learned knowledge! Throw all logical “ideas” out the window and think without judgement on every thought or idea. Once you do this it truly sets your mind free.

      I have spent many years connecting dots to these sordid super tech events.

      WROTE 8-10 YEARS BACK ON HOW THE nwo ILLUMINISTS IN BOTH GOVERNMENTS OF USA AND U.K PULLED OFF 911.
      THINK OF THE DRONE PROGRAM AND THE OLD GLOBAL HAWK AUTO PILOT TECHNOLOGIES WAY BEFORE 2001!
      SURE THE SAUDIS AND JORDAN SUPPLIED THE SAUDI AND PAKISTAN NATIONALS WITH PASSPORTS AND A WAY ONTO THE AIRPLANES AVAILABLE ON THAT D…AY….THEY WERE ON THE PLANES AND THOUGHT THEY WERE INDEED GOING TO SUICIDE THEMSELVES INTO THE BUILDINGS. THEY KICKED IN THE PILOTS DOORS AND FOUND THEM ALREADY DEAD FROM SOME TYPE OF GAS BROUGHT INTO PLANES EARLIER IN FLIGHT,THEN PLANES WERE GUIDED INTO THE BUILDINGS BY REMOTE CONTROL FROM AN awacs plane farther out…not from bld.# 7 as some think!!!!
      this explains the less than eratic flight path of the planes and their rather accurate decent from higher altitude. no pilot could have pulled that off!
      question is: whose govts and what money trail? well who owns half of the hotels and lands in america and controls the oil flow and access and keeps democrats from wanting us to drill in our own lands/ well the answer is “the house of saud” who had half their roads built by the bin laden family. they are still controlling the usa along with china and israel main influences,and obama and bush and others have always played their game. enough said
      the same technology that we remotely pilot high powered explosive filled drones into targets in libya,afghanistan in iraq,and yes…in the united states with its secret UAV tech soon
      this is also a good theory but incomplete. thE aircraft occupants passengers were put on different military global hawk type aircraft at two airports…and the flight numbers were added then. of course the real military global hawk guided aircraft were then flown into the buildings by direction from AIWACS TYPE PLANES,ALSO POSSIBLY FOREING CRUISE MISSLES FROM TOP OF PLANE(AIWACS)OR UNDERNEATH. THE HANGER THEORY COULD THEN HAVE BEEN ACTIVATED WITH THE REAL PASSENGERS AND MANIFESTOS. PARTIALLY CORRECT
      ALSO BE ADVISED THAT THE NEW HIGH TECH UAV-ST PROGRAMS OF NAVY-AIRFORCE TO REPLACE OLD SHUTTLE LAUNCHES AND EQUIPMENT DELIVERY WAS A SECOND PHASE AT LEAST SIX YEARS AGO AND FINAL TESTING IS ALMOST COMPLETE. MORE SOLAR HIGH POWERED MIRRORS ARE BEING ASSEMBLED IN SPACE TO REFLECT SUNS ENERGY(PROBABLY FOR MALEVOLENT OR ONLY MILITARY EMERGENCY UNDERGROUND AND EARTH RADAR CAPABILITIES…NOT FOR REGULAR POPULATIONS USE AS ALWAYS

      BE ASSURED THAT THE haarpRADARS AND TOWERS BEING SET UP ALL AROUND USA ARE FOR THESE PURPOSES. A WHOLE THEORY OF “GLOBAL WARMING HAD TO BE INITIATED AROUND THESE NEW SPACE PROGRAMS AND IN THE PROCESS THE HIGH ENERGIES OF DISPLACED IONS AND SOLAR REFLECTIONS OVER TWO ARCTIC POLES HAS CREATED THE OZONE DEPLETION IN REALITY. THE ENTRY POINTS OF THESE NEW SPACECRAFT ARE OVER THE TWO POLES AND CREATE THE MANY AURORA BOREALIS EFFECTS OCCUREING NOW AND ALSO CHANGEING THE AXIS OF THE EARTH AT SAME TIME. DONT BE TOO SURE THAT THIS IS NOT GOING TO AT SOME POINT BE TRIGGERED IN A BIG WAY BY OUR AND nwo GOVERNMENT TO CREATE THE SITUATIONS i HAVE TALKED ABOUT MANY TIMES HERE.

      .let us all remember that the how and where and even possibly who of the 911 events have been explained…it is the “WHY” and the money trail that still eludes you. this can be found in the numbers themselves as in my cycle of nines explanation. the kabbalist numbers of 9-11-33,etc all fit into what the events looked like and how they unfolded. take the two towers themselves…they were a giant num……eral “11″ standing together. they were both 110 stories high the first two numerals also an “11″…now go to the “WINGDINGS” 911″ AND GOOGLE THIS TO FIND THE SO-CALLED COINCIDENCES FOR THE FURTHER NUMERICAL INCIDENCE.
      THIS TELLS ME THAT IT WAS NOT SO MUCH AN EVENT ABOUT MONEY FOR silverstein or the saudi kings as it was a blood harvest and ritual sacrifice of all the higher elite cabals in both military and bankiing structures to announce the official new millenium of the NWO in america and its UN counterparts. these cabalists work there dirtiest deeds with the force of the druid and other illuminist occult and solar connections. so makeing their plans more powerful.this might be the “why”
      we all know the military and intel at its highest levels are full of wickens,druid and other occult elite as are members of our political sphere.this was only the second half of the plan for the NWO. the next point to a far more devastateing war and events here in the usa.
      Look at this date sept-11th this year. this is 11 years after 911,and it is 2012(end of the mayan calender and ritual)
      now take 11 days from then and you have september-22,which I feel will be a date of great significance,possibly israel day for iran attacks which will affect many nations but mostly ours and theirs. the other dates of major disaster or for these attacks are(in cycle of nine) oct-6th(yom kippur)
      oct-22…the date of the cuban missle crisis, or the 11;11 date..which means the second 911. be very aware and prepare.See More

      another tidbit on the 11 sequence above: the start of the first gulf war with sadamms invasion of kuwait was in 1990 and 11 years from then you had 2001 and 911 incident. also jfk was asassinated in 1963…and 38 years later you had 911. the 38 adding to the numeral 11. these are not coincidences and are all leading up to the establishment of the nwo in americ and its takeover,I feel this year. major mayan 2012 events ahead.

      Subject: FW: number11

      Amazing! Do exercise at end

      This is SO weird!!!!

      THIS IS REALLY FREAKY!

      1) New York City has 11 letters
      2) Afghanistan has 11 letters.
      3) Ramsin Yuseb (The terrorist who threatened to destroy
      the Twin Towers in 1993) has 11 letters.
      4) George W Bush has 11 letters.

      This could be a mere coincidence, but this gets more interesting:

      1) New York is the 11th state.
      2) The first plane crashing against the Twin Towers was flight number 11.
      3) Flight 11 was carrying 92 passengers. 9 + 2 = 11
      4) Flight 77 which also hit Twin Towers, was carrying 65 passengers. 6+5=11
      5) The tragedy was on September 11, or 9/11 as it is now known. 9+1+1=11
      6) The date is equal to the US emergency services telephone number 911. 9+1+1=11.
      Sheer coincidence..?!

      Read on and make up your own mind:

      1) The total number of victims inside all the hi-jacked planes was 254. 2+5+4=11.
      2) September 11 is day number 254 of the calendar year. Again 2+5+4=11.
      3) The Madrid bombing took place on 3/11/2004. 3+1+1+2+4 =11.
      4) The tragedy of Madrid happened 911 days after the Twin Towers incident.

      Now this is where things get totally eerie:

      The most recognised symbol for the US, after the Stars & Stripes, is the Eagle. The following verse is taken from the Quran, the Islamic holy book:

      ”For it is written that a son of Arabia would awaken a fearsome eagle. The wrath of the Eagle would be felt throughout the lands of Allahand lo, while some of the people trembled in despair still more rejoiced: for the wrath of the Eagle cleansed the lands of Allah and there was peace.”

      That verse is number 9.11 of the Quran.

      Still unconvinced about all of this..?!

      Try this and see how you feel afterwards, it made my hair stand on end:

      Open Microsoft Word and do the following:
      1. Type in capitals Q33 NY. This is the flight number of the first plane to hit one of the Twin Towers.
      2. Highlight the Q33 NY.
      3. Change the font size to 48.
      4. Change the actual font to WINGDINGS

      What do you think now..?!

      Don’t forget about the “Long Valley Supercvolcanoe” in eastern California. From what I’ve read recently geologists feel it is very close to also erupting. In one book on supervolcanoes the geologist who wrote it indicated the caldera is almost twice the size of Yellowstone. No matter which is larger, they both pose real problems for the US if they erupt to say nothing if they erupt at the sametime.

      NOT BEING FUNNY, BUT IT IS A KIVE VOLCANO, THATS WHY MILLIONS VISIT IT, TO SEE THE OLD GEISERS

    • Forrest

      An increase in seismic activity indicates that the Yellowstone caldera could easily erupt at any time. If I lived within 300 miles of Yellowstone, I would move.

    • Estrella

      Of course, if it is a small eruption (compared to the “1000 times larger then Mt. St. Helens”), which is possible, then it would be a mess out there in Wyoming, perhaps as far away as Western Colorado, but, not the end of the U.S. (which some might argue is a shame).

      So, fear porn, if you ask me. All sorts of things could wipe us out, Super X Class Flare, giant comets, etc.

      You buy your ticket and take your chances. A little food and water is always prudent, but, life goes on (or has for a very long time).
