Geyser Explodes In Yellowstone National Park

Who ever said that it’s not linked to volcanic activity needs to go back to school again

"Emergency pants changing stations have been set up around the perimeter."

How can they say it has nothing to do with volcanic activity when it absolutely has something to do with volcanic activity what a joke

Whoa, I missed that by nearly 40 years when riding a cross-country motorcycle from North Carolina. All I can say is that I'm happy no one was harmed.

as a geologist I'm going to tell you right now do not listen when they say it has nothing to do with the recent volcanic activity.... these geysers have everything to do with volcanic activity. Those geysers are essentially a visual seismograph as far as evaluating volcanic activity in Yellowstone

Not related to volcanic activity? Somebody needs to tell them how geysers work.

Really makes you think, if this was a small explosion, what would a big one be like?

This is the kind of thing playing in the background on the TV while a guy is getting breakfast, not knowing he will be facing the end of the world before he gets to work

Whenever a news station says, it's not this, or it's not what it looks like, I'm skeptical.

“Don’t believe your eyes, this is not volcanic activity”

Being investigated like they can do something about it.

All these people thought they were about to be in the 2012 movie scene with woody Harrilson 🍿 😂

The people writing this news story must have been the same ones I wrote that Trump got scared and fell off the stage.

Yogi put too many lunch boxes in and it reacted 😂

Well when the wildlife starts running away from yellowstone like Fred Sanford said,“it's the big one Elizabeth!”

Yellowstone going up strangely feels like a natural progression of things lately.

Well that was a big fat DUD. It was predicted that a 250 sq mile area would be affected.

I know this unexpected hiccup has scientists going crazy trying to sort the amounts of data on this and what it means. And remember, this super volcano is 3 times the size of Manhattan, 30 miles wide, 45 miles deep. That's around the equivalent to 1000 Hiroshima nuclear bombs going off at the same time. And the biggest eruption we ever recorded from a volcano was Mount Tambora? Back in 1815 and killed close to 100,000 people. The magnitude of Yellowstone's next massive eruption will quickly kill just about everyone in the surrounding states of Wyoming, Montana, Oregon and Washington State. It's a kill zone. Some experts say if it's a short lived eruption. What most of the eastern states will get is a lot of ash for however long. Others say if it's a continued long term eruption, which most people believe it will be. Ash will in time cover the entire globe, completely cutting off all sunlight and we will find ourselves seeking lifetime shelter from a nuclear winter, whoever wasn't in the eruption kill zone. But at the same time, all this is just estimate imaginations based on scientific research. We can't even begin to truly imagine the visions of this actual true horror when it finally happens one day. Which also to of course keep in mind will extremely likely not happen in our lifetime anyway.

Small version of what will happen when the whole park eventually blows.

"Geologists are investigating what happened." The vent began to open when the pressure inside it reached the "somethings got to give" point.
