Yellowstone’s greatest geological threat isn’t a supervolcano.......

that's silly. It's like a car accident vs an airplane accident. One happens more often, but can be so insignificant that you forget about it. The other is absolutely devastating.

No one outside the greater yellowstone area cares about a 7.#m earthquake.

everyone on the planet would be concerned about an eruption.

By this logic, the supervolcano is even less valid, because there will not be a soul left to remember it. So no need to worry about it, especially since it's something absolutely noone has control over.

good lord.

no super volcano is an ELE.

Not even all of them at the same time.

If all of them went off, millions would still survive and then very much thrive as the planet becomes a food basket with all those nutrients and minerals deposited.

fyi, i'm only a prepper, not a volcanologist. I could be wrong, but I have researched yellowstone super eruption a fair amount.

I believe that I have a plan to keep my family alive and safe in Denver Colorado... only 400+ miles from yellowstone.

(obviously, Plan A is to bug-out, but...)

if I have a plan to survive this "close", then it's clearly not an ELE.

This is dangerous propaganda...

A 7.0 earthquake in the middle of nowhere vs complete destruction of central U.S. (breadbasket) plus a decade of volcanic winter for the entire world.

If all of them went off the sunlight would disappear for awhile. Not much, if anything, would grow, at least anything edible. That would trigger a mass die off. Then it would be pretty cold, oh... like an Ice Age maybe. That would also cause a mass die off. I don’t think there will be millions of survivors, maybe a few hundred thousand. It would be many many years before the Earth would be a fertile fruit baske again.

I beg to differ. Read up on TOBA. It was a "super" volcano in the Indonesian chain of volcanoes. There is evidenced that when it blew - 70,000 it caused mass extinctions of many of the giant mammals of the time. It is believed it also was the sole cause of a HUMAN GENETIC BOTTLENECK where they think humans were reduced to around 5,000 individuals. We came (11)THAT close to going extinct and it was JUST one eruption.

There IS Paleolithic evidence that several of the super eruptions played havoc with the species that lived in the times of an eruption. IMHO modern man is much MORE vulnerable today to being wiped out by such an eruption. FEW of the "entitled" generations would have the skills or the resolve to live on when most of the species were already gone and the hope for any return to a "normal" life was loooong gone.

On a bad day the earthquake would kill a herd of buffalo and a hundred people, this shows the quality of government "scientists".
