Better buy an umbrella then

And a good respirator.

I remember when Mnt St Helens went up... we had ash in the south and although there wasn't much it was sure hard on the throat and on vehicles that didn't have really good filters on them.

Mt St Helens will be like a firecracker compared to Yellowstone should it go.

That would be something to see!!! Yesterday you worried about LA quake, today this. When your time comes, a falling brick in a wooden church will kill you.

240 cubic miles of materiel ejected in the last Yellowstone blow up, 600 cubic miles in the 1st.

Ya, this is the one I referred to in your post about the LA quake.

Here's some more info

Previous ash clouds barely crossed the 49th in the previous eruptions.

Hopefully they are playing in Calgary that day so you get both at once.

I remember driving through either Idaho or Montana and there are huge lava fields with a site of one of the largest mass deaths of dinosaurs in one location. Digging through my pictures to find the pic of the sign and where it was again.
