Where would you go if the Yellowstone Volcano erupted tomorrow?

[Lazuli]

I would probably be ripping in peace.

[Nihilist74]

Is it possible to tap the Yellowstone volcano for geo thermic energy like Iceland does with their volcano's?

[TheCount]

No, we can't stop global warming by causing ash induced winter....or could we?

I live in south central WI. My first move would most likely to be heading to MI and then hunkering down for a long time.

[Chinese Bootlickers]

Probably try to get as far east as possible, and then probably die from the famine the eruption would cause.

[Adam Jensen]

I'd take every hallucinogenic drug known to man.

If the world's going to end, may as well go out while tripping balls.

[Laerrus]

First? Hit up all the gun shops in the area and stock up on ammo.

A Yellowstone super eruption will be the beginning of the zombie apocalypse.

Yellowstone isn't the volcano that we need to worry about though, Campi Flegrei is the one that will likely be a threat within our lifetimes.

I'd go to Yellowstone. Been on my list for a bit now, might as well get it checked off.

[Hablion]

Regardless of where you went in the world you would be effected by it maybe not ash wise but the Volcanic Winter that could last for years you would feel

[Shadowsgrace]

I would got to Yellowstone to see it.

yeah, I'll be there with ya, except I'll bring the 20yr old Scotch.

[Zantos]

Obviously it's extremely, extremely and let me reiterate extremely unlikely that the Yellowstone Volcano will erupt anytime soon,

Sadly, as with any active volcano, this isn't a certainty.


As for the question, probably just buy a gas mask to protect from the ash. That's about it. Not to worried about it. Not like we don't have the technology at this point to overcome the eruption. Only thing to worry about at that point would be if it caused anything else as a result of the explosion.

[Shadowferal]

Most of the Midwest would get buried by ash. (and say a farewell to any crops.) Weather patterns would get majorly affected and we'd all get a bit colder.
It'd be a game changer for the country.

[Thoughtful Trolli]

well, i'm in the zone to get covered by ash. so probably live a horrible existence of scrounging to survive and winding up raped and murdered by looters.

hahaha, you thinking they'll let you die

[Ghostpanther]

I think it would be cool if it erupted.

You think it would be cool that millions would die?

Where I live and my situation, I could survive it and most here would. So would not do much except hunker down and be prepared , which I am.

[derpkitteh]

hahaha, you thinking they'll let you die

eh, idk. i'd say they wouldn't waste resources keeping the fuck toy alive when they could just get another one easily. i'm pretty average looking, so it's not like i'd be worth more than others.

i could always just kill myself if they didn't.

Yeah i do, would change things up.

[belfpala]

Pretend I'm playing Fallout (the first one) and go look for my vault's water chip.

[Tierbook]

Yeah i do, would change things up.

Realistically the entire North American continent would be fucked.... the amount of material that would be knocked into the atmosphere would make the little Ice Age after the Tambora eruption look like a warm period.

If Yellowstone did erupt though would it be possible for the earthquakes that would kick off, which there would be some pretty bad ones I'd guess, could lead to some other volcanos worldwide to erupt? Think the one in Naples linked earlier or the one in the Canary Islands that could cause a landslide which would cause a tsunami capable of wiping out the east coast.

[ovm33]

I would go South. Get down around the Gulf area. Will most likely be the warmest place to live was the ice age starts.

[Tierbook]

It wouldn't be world ending of course, the largest Yellowstone eruption is still smaller than the Toba eruption 70~ thousand years ago and humans survived that.

[Gaaz]

Since we are talking about a nuclear winter event (not total, but still a huge drop in averages), probably somewhere that has temperatures higher than Siberia during winters. Mediterranean would seem like a good place to go - high averages and more limited extremes due to a large body of water.
