    @Bob

    "The Yellowstone caldera system has fascinated me"

    you and me both; ever since I read yrs. ago that the lake in Yellowstone has been tipping (is it N. or S.?) since the 1920's and all the other anomalies occuring within Yellowstone (if read sorces are correct "old faithful" is no longer "faithful") so if read sources are correct something unusual is occuring in Yellowstone-

    if read sources are correct Yellowstone erupting (if read sorces are correct every ca. 36.000 yrs.) is now over due;

    God forbid, but if Yellowstone should blow "good night nurse"!

    Bob, any more new info you could provide us?

    Three super-eruptions at Yellowstone appear to have occurred on a 600,000 — 700,000 year cycle, starting 2.1 million years ago. The most recent took place 640,000 years ago. That's what suggests that Yellowstone may be overdue for an eruption.

    @Bill @Bob and all readers-

    ever since I first learned about the machinations behind Yellowstone (80's/90's?) I've always felt this could be the biggest threat to humanity and not earthquakes or fault lines splitting (like the New Madrid fault line dividing more or less the US in half) or the global elite (:

    I don't know why but I've always been obcessed with the idea of Yellowstone erupting; like a knife in my solar plexus-

    well, let's hope it won't occur in our lifetimes but I think it will occur sooner than later-

    Larry

    Quote As quoted by Ramus above, "Why we don’t need to worry about the Steamboat Geyser in Yellowstone - a chance to see it if you visit Yellowstone, that’s all - Robert Walker"
    Seems to me most folks are ignoring "Robert Walker's" doublespeak and remaining concerned.

    What is not sufficiently explained is:

    1) was there a set of earthquakes evoking a slip or shift of fault zones allowing more water to enter the plumbing system (if so what was the cause of those earthquakes)
    2) was there any shift of the Yellowstone lake shore (or bottom) elevations above sea level, indicating a change in magma chamber, or fault movement, or rock movement around the faults
    3) what is the overall energy output thermally of the Yellowstone Caldera, is it increasing, decreasing or remaining stable

    Larry, I am watching it. Like why is there a long term cycling and a restarting of a system which has remained dormant. I won't really sit still for those questions being doublespeaked over or glossed over.. Just me, as I pointed out, our opportunity is to extract useful heat energy and convert that into electricity.. Watching such a prospect be glossed over also is interesting, something that energy companies based on oil or natural gas, or wind would love to gloss over.. Workable thermal extraction to electricity of Yellowstone, or spots in Nevada and California, is being banned since the Parks Services were given authority to STOP any such use of the "natural wonders" for saving the country for instance from energy manipulation (by vested interests)..

    ==update==

    thought I would add WHY I am insisting "draining the heat" from critical areas where fractures may cause a massive LEAKAGE of water from the plumbing systems into super-heated magma is important..

    Imagine a simmering pot of spaghetti sauce.. Turn up the heat a bit or "fan the flames" that's heating up the 'sauce' and that nice calm saucepot can boil-over, or "erupt".. siphon off the heat from below the pot and the risk of explosion diminishes...

    Here is another most dramatic visual analogy.. It's not "exact" but it is dramatic enough to make the point WHY reducing the critical temperatures is important.. (Critical bottom plumbing or liquid trapping faults' temperature diminishing using a system of heat extraction methods of COURSE means USEFUL energy can come from that extracted HEAT.. USEFUL ENERGY is an immense benefit to the public, since it is basically FREE ENERGY, not requiring, organizations to make solar, oil, gas, or wind projects)... There is a LOT of new technology that overcomes the difficulties of past geo-thermal projects.. (my personal belief is big oil focused on sabotaging efforts)..

    Dropping a frozen turkey into a VERY HOT (but stable pot of OIL) - kids don't do this at home or anywhere !! It's not the same, but you get the point about how damaging very rapid STEAM generation can be.


    Magma in the analogy has a "higher boiling point" than water.. acting like the "oil" in the turkey cooker..

    A massive dump into the heated chambers would be like the "frozen turkey" being dropped in.. How fast that sealed chamber vents or remains trapped equals "explosive eruptive event" potential yield.. It is not rocket science.. It is what makes a safe burn in the open of "black powder" be "calm" compared to a trapped black powder charge burning in an enclosed chamber (such as a pipe)..

    If a sufficiently super-heated fault system (maybe with chambers) is closing up and trapping, and water enters and gets trapped, the vaporization results in explosive and catastrophic evacuation. Poo pooing that fact or glossing over that fact is not describing adequately potential issues.. What is the plumbing system.. Is it sealing, is there a new plumbing system, how many more 'systems' which have been dormant are changing if at all? To ignore that I feel is not in the public's best interest.

    So, seeing ONE dormant system "wake up" makes me want to ask the questions, starting with WHY? Then looking at what changed, how massive is the change, how stable is the area. 'Experts' just speaking saying it's safe 'trust us' is meaningless to me, if it's safe answer the questions posed above.. As I pointed out in the OP, scientists are doing geophone analysis to attempt to determine the PLUMBING SYSTEM.. That's a start... If it was just so "safe", they wouldn't expend any resources - that's seems obvious to me.

    More features have unexpectedly erupted in Yellowstone 19 Sept 2018 within the last couple days..

    https://helenair.com/lifestyles/recr...58a53ef18.html

    Ear Spring erupted:


    Quote Over the last several days there has been new thermal activity in the Geyser Hill area of Yellowstone National Park's Upper Geyser Basin.

    According to a park press release, there has been new erupting vents splashing water on the boardwalks, surface fractures, and a rare eruption of Ear Spring on Sept. 15.

    Geyser Hill is located across the Firehole River from Old Faithful and features dozens of hot springs, geysers, and fumaroles.

    For public safety some boardwalks and trails in the Geyser Hill area have been temporarily closed. Closure signs are posted.
    and

    Quote Ear Spring on Yellowstone's Geyser Hill went from being dormant Saturday to spewing steam and water between 20 and 30 feet high, a height not recorded since 1957, said park spokesman Neal Herbert. It has since continued to erupt at a near-constant height of about 2 feet, he said.

    Ear Spring, named for its resemblance to the shape of a human ear, is one of dozens of geysers, pools and hot springs in Yellowstone's Upper Geyser Basin — among the park's top attractions that feature the popular Old Faithful. It last erupted in 2004.

    The eruption is among the new thermal activity seen over the last several days on Geyser Hill, just across the Firehole River from Old Faithful.

    The activity includes new erupting vents and surface fractures, and it has led park officials to close a boardwalk in the popular Upper Geyser Basin to prevent people from being injured by scalding water splashing on the popular boardwalk trail.

    Yellowstone's thermal basins sometimes undergo significant changes in short amounts of time..

    A few comments as a first hand observer. I was at Yellowstone in first week of August this year. While there I drove from the East side of Montana-Wyoming entrance and left at the West side of Yellowstone, about 50 miles distance. I camped around 10500 ft as an aside. They had abundant wildlife at my site at that altitude. But what was quite noticeable to me was the massive amount of Bisons all over the park( On the order of several thousand). And rich greenlands and fields and trees on the mountains. Also saw a number of Moose.

    About four years ago we drove through Yellowstone on that same route and it seemed like large sections of the park had blight, yellow areas and many dead trees.We saw practically no Bison or no moose at all then. It seemed they had left the area.

    Also the big caldera at Big Springs was fairly calm no agitation from the birds or small game in the area.(eg. squirrels) So if you want to believe in the wisdom of nature and beasts and them seemingly unworried about any event;I would say there are far less indicators of something coming now then there was four years ago.

    Hello fellow PA members and guests. This is just my opinion and is not intended to be fear porn or cause a panic. On or around July15th to July16th I think there is about an 80%chance that the Yellowstone Caldera could Experience some kind of an eruption. How big im not sure.I'm sure most of you are aware that California just experienced a rather large earthquake and many large aftershocks. Yellowstone is also experiencing quite a few anomalous activities. The moon will be full on July16th. I could be wrong but if I lived within a 100 miles I would consider evacuation. I've been watching Google news for the last few days and have seen at least 6 different stories on the Caldera. If your waiting on the crust starting to rise(the ground rising.) that will only take a few hrs. I wouldn't I don't know why but I think this will be a partial eruption. I could be wrong but I felt like I had to share.

    Keeping a full tank of gas, having a bug out bag, water filter and dehydrated food is inexpensive preparation for some. And if there is no eruption the gas will get used and the rest will keep for a very long time.

    Suspicious Observers and others say the earth is indeed tilting and the magnetic north is moving at an alarming rate. This on top of sun activity and something heating up all the planets makes one think it's just a matter of time. I imagine in my mind a glass and in the glass is earth and rock and in the middle you can see this yellow liguid which when the glass is upright has a magma chamber but a space between at the top. However if you imagine with me that we tilt the glass even a little bit that empty chamber at the top fills some anyway, and if the tilt continues well, it fills up and the new space has to form where gravity now puts it. So, I imagine this taking place all over the planet is going to bring some serious activity.

    To be honest, suffer isn't really the word. If Yellowstone really went up, and is anything akin to previously documented Supervolcano eruptions, it will be the END OF ALL THINGS. There might a few pockets of survivors, scattered on this continent or that, but in essence it would be the End of the world. Extra gas and a bug-out bag won't really do much good!

    The Midwest is also in danger. There is a fault about 60 miles south of me. It's called " New Madrid ". I actually heard that there are 6 active volcanos that could be effected by the Cali Quake. All that Energy has to go somewhere. Simple 9

    Nothing is going to happen at Yellowstone for a very, very long time. My opinion is that when it blows, and it will, we need not worry. Mother Nature/Earth will weather it fine in the long run.
