More Unusual "Activity" at Yellowstone Super Volcano! Releasing Thousand More Times Of Helium Steam Than Anticipated - PreppersWorldUSA

Not trying to alarm anybody but this is very serious. Just in the last month there has been a dramatic change in activity.

Just curious. What kind of reaction are the birds and animals of the region showing?

At least we all know what Al Gore will say about this. LOL

Not good, not good at all.. thanks for posting.

It was in National Geographic a few years ago about super volcanoes and Yellow Stone is on of them that is way over due to erupt, at least from past eruptions. When it does the mid west is not going to be a good location to be in.

Do we need to start stocking up on 50 years worth of food and fuel, investing in super Polar winter gear, buying up some property with deep caves to live in to combat the next ice age or just end it all quickly by going to Yellowstone and awaiting an eruption.

Rent the movie "2012" it's all about this very thing. It doesn't end well.....I really hope my buddy seat comes in before it lets loose. I want to see it on my tractor before I die!

Consider the source of that article, Preppers World, this is the kind of story that these people live for.

Maybe so, but it is also true, and is deeply concerning. We have known for a long time if yellowstone blows, it will be very bad, we all need to hope and pray, it will just release some pressure and go back to sleep.. Not blow its top.

That thing scares me good.

I hope they aren't having an End of the World Party.

Not saying that we should take the Yellowstone Supervolcano lightly, but you should always be skeptical of sites that depend on doomsday predictions for their daily bread. Here's some interesting reading from a couple of sources that would seem to be a bit less biased.

Harry Turtledove is a sci-fi write of alternative history (his civil war-ww2 series is great) has written about this. He paints a great picture of the ash, destruction of livestock, and how communities change.

Hey, any of you ever been to Yellowstone? We went a few years ago. Something amazing yet completely disconcerting about the ground being on fire below your feet! Makes you think about how small we are in the big picture. :cool2:

Funny how they claim that the USGS is hiding the seismic information. But in reality, the seismic networks are open source, generally owners by universities and maintained by grad students.

You know what they say..."Never let the truth get in the way of a good conspiracy theory!"

if you look up hits on helium 4 .....youll see that yellowstone has been producing it for 64,000 years.

another doom and gloom article. yellowstone has earthquakes daily . there used as stress relief. if they didnt have them, id worry

I went in the winter around Christmas time and it was beautiful around 6 years ago.

We spent 3 nights in a Yellowstone campground; September 3, 4, & 5, 1991. Some may remember the huge forest fire they had in 1988, and the results were still terrible looking in 1991.

Also, if you look it up you will see that it is producing at least a 1000 times more Helium 4 than ever before in recorded history. I live in Northwest Iowa and right outside my town in an exposed sedimentary layer on a hillside lies exposed a 5 foot layer of volcanic ash that the Yellowstone volcano deposited 640,000 years ago that helped bring about the extinction of dinosaurs in western Nebraska. That is a quantifiable fact and no bull. So I can allow myself to be slightly concerned when the geologists in Yellowstone using their differential gps devices say the mantle has begun pushing up, it is real.
