Let's just hope Yellowstone doesn't go bang...
That would wipe out the whole USA, except for the southern tip of Texas, the gulf shores, Florida and portions of South Carolina.
Cars would be undriveable, planes couldn't fly, and volcanic ash 1/4" thick would cover everything from Wyoming to the Carolina's... Some scientists fear it would be an E.L.E..

That's good to know...
I hope he's right.... Determining whather he's right, or Discovery channel will all depend on the size of the eruption, whenever it happens..

Relatively low SiO2 = slow, easy, non-explosive eruptions - like in Hawaii
Relatively high SiO2 = BOOM! - Mount St. Helens type eruption
