IS YELLOWSTONE AMERICA'S
COUP-DE-GRACE?
Something Began at Yellowstone Super Volcano on 12/3 – Eruption Would Instantly Kill Millions of People, Decimate About 25% of the Land of the United States

Yellowstone
National Park in Wyoming is one of the most beautiful — and
most visited — places on earth. Its stunning natural beauty however, also
contains one of the most dangerous and deadly parts of our planet: A
SUPER-VOLCANO.
There
are lots of volcanoes on earth but only fourteen “super”
volcanoes. They are volcanoes so large, that an eruption of any single
one of them, can actually wipe
out all life with 500 miles in minutes and alter the
climate on the ENTIRE planet for DECADES. 13 of those super volcanoes are
on the floor of an ocean, safely coverd by thousands of feet of water. Yellowstone is the only one on land.

That
“something” began spreading on Dec. 4 and 5. Now, as of Dec. 6, I’m
not the only one who is noticing this. What is taking place is not normal
or typical. I have a feeling it is also not good.
I
want to provide you with a basic understanding of the layout and the enormity
of the situation.
According
to the US Geological Survey, these are the several types of volcanoes which
exist in the world:
Yellowstone is the type listed at the bottom: a
“Caldera.”
How
a volcano goes from Strato- to Caldera is an intense and violent process of
eruptions, which blow up the sides of the mountain as lava erupts; then those
sides of the mountain collapse into the chamber underground from where the
eruption came. Here’s a look at the process, using a former
strato-volcano in Oregon
as the example:
In
layman’s terms, it starts as a mountain with a crater (mouth) at the top, and
ends being a gigantic hole in the ground! The size of the hole
depends on the size of the volcano and the intensity of its eruption.
What
we have right now at Yellowstone is a Caldera;
a giant hole in the ground. When I say it’s a “giant” hole, I mean
it.
The
major features of the caldera measure about 34 by 45 miles (55
by 72 km). That, is a really big hole! Here’s a map to give
you perspective:
The
yellow colored area represents 34 by 45 mile Caldera; the “mouth” of the super
volcano. Think about those numbers for just a second and consider
that the entire U.S. state
of Rhode Island
is only 37 miles (east-west) by 48 miles (north-south). So this hole in the ground is
97% as big as the ENTIRE state of Rhode
Island!!!
If
it boggles your mind that a volcano can be that big, you’re not alone. It
truly is mind-boggling in size.
The
caldera formed during the last of three super-eruptions over the past 2.1
million years:
- the Huckleberry Ridge eruption 2.1
million years ago (which created the Island Park Caldera and
the Huckleberry Ridge Tuff);
- the Mesa Falls
eruption 1.3 million years ago (which created the Henry’s Fork
Caldera and the Mesa Falls Tuff);
- and the Lava Creek eruption approximately 630,000 years ago (which created the Yellowstone Caldera and the Lava Creek Tuff).

When
a volcano erupts, it sends lava, ash, dirt, pulverized rock and a whole slew of
noxious gases. Geologists took samples of the ground around the
Yellowstone Caldera, then traced how far those exact same soil/rock/gas debris
could be found elsewhere in the US
from the eruptions. If your mind was boggled by the size of the volcano,
wait until you see how far this thing ejected ash, rock and lava. Here
are maps showing the Huckkleberry Ridge, Mesa Falls
and Lava Creek eruption results where ash, rock and gases flew:
Try
to wrap your head around what you’ve just seen. Ash, rock and gases from
the three prior eruptions covered almost HALF of the entire United States of America!
If
something like this were to take place again, it would wipe out our
country. The land area involved is where most of our food is grown and
where most of our cattle is raised. It would literally wipe out our food
supply, never mind several MILLION people, their homes, businesses and anything
else in the area.
“What if” Map:
The
red colored area is the 500-mile-wide “Kill Zone.” As its name
indicates, everything in this area, all the people, animals, insects, crops,
trees . . . . EVERYTHING here would be dead in minutes.
The
brown colored area is the “Hot Ash” Zone. Hot ash from the eruption would
rain-down on those areas for the next few days. And “hot” ash means exactly
that . . . ash that is so hot it would literally set everything in these areas
on fire! Homes, business, cars, trucks, buses, trees . . . . it
would all burn. People would be able to evacuate and save themselves, but
the cattle and crops are not going to make it.
The
raining ash zone is where volcanic ash of varying thickness will also rain
down. And this is a major problem too, because volcanic “ash” is not like
the ash from a cigarette or burnt paper. Volcanic “ash” is actually
pulverized rock. It is heavy.
As
the ash drifts back down to earth from the eruption, it will begin to
accumulate on rooftops of structures. But this isn’t snow. It’s
HEAVY. and as an inch or more accumulates on the average home, the roof
will collapse from the weight of the volcanic ash.
In
short, every area you see above would suffer unimaginable destruction.
Even if the people who live in the Hot Ash and Raining Ash zones were able to
evacuate, WHERE WOULD WE PUT THEM? How do you relocate literally
MILLIONS of people into the areas remaining??
How
do you feed them? How do you clothe them? How do you shelter them?
How do you process their waste?
The
implications of a Yellowstone super-eruption
are utterly terrifying when you take a few moments to grasp the enormity of the
possible outcome.
SOMETHING BEGAN on December 3
December
3 started out like pretty much every other day at Yellowstone.
Tiny blue lines
on the 32 seismographs indicating the smallest of vibrations
as always happen there. Then, something changed.
The red colored
lines (indicating an abnormal strength of vibration, i.e. earthquake) began.
The
image below is the December 3 seismograph from the Mammoth Vault seismograph at
the northern tip of Yellowstone
National Park.
Everything is fine until about 3:45 PM MOUNTAIN Standard Time (MST) which is
two hours behind East Coast time . . .
The
ongoing red lines are NOT typical.
A
few minutes later, the seismograph at Lake Butte,
about 40 miles south-southeast from the one at Mammoth Vault, starting showing
similar red lines as can be seen below:
Here
is an image of all the seismographs at Yellowstone with the Mammoth Vault and Butte Lake
circled, so you can see where they are in relation to each other and where all
the other seismos are:
The
next day, December 4, the lines on both these seismographs continued — ALL DAY
— and sudden “spikes” started appearing on several of the other seismographs at
Yellowstone as well.
Here
is is an image of all seismos from Dec. 4 with arrows pointing to the other seismographs
starting to show “spikes:”
And
it continued to get worse on Dec. 5 as seen from this image of all seismos:
As
you can plainly see, “something” is going on that is very out-of-the-ordinary
at the Yellowstone super-volcano. To

I
am not a trained Geologist or Volcanologist, so I won’t draw any conclusions
about what is taking place. What I will say is that these readings seem
to tell us that we in the general public had better keep an eye on this for
awhile to see where it goes. Maybe it will go away. Maybe it won’t.
Since
the implications of a Yellowstone eruption are so mind-boggingly terrible, it
might be a good idea to make certain that, if you live in the HOT ASH or
RAINING ASH areas, that you have an evacuation plan and spare food/water
on-hand, just in case. Know WHERE to go and more importantly, WHERE NOT TO GO! Use the
ash map above as your guide of where NOT to go!
For
those in the potential unaffected areas, you’d better have FOOD
stored-up. Because if, God forbid, this thing erupts, the food supply
will be gone in hours.
Lastly,
for EVERYONE, it is a good idea to have FILTER MASKS for you and each member of
your family. As mentioned earlier, volcanic “ash” is actually pulverized
rock. If you INHALE IT, when it hits the moisture in your lungs, it
becomes . . . . mud. Your body cannot process this. It immediately
impairs your breathing and, after a few good whifs of it, you actually DROWN on
mud.
What
if a terrorist rogue nation wanted to destroy the United States, how could they do
it? In other words what is the greatest threat we face from rogue nations?
Some
believe an EMP attack would be devastating to our country and thus is one of
the top threats we face. I agree and believe that everyone should be prepared
to live without electricity for extended periods of time. Don’t forget a solar
storm/flare could do the same.

referred to in this article, did not print.
