Could Yellowstone Eruption Reach Idaho?

Alarming photos taken by the National Park Service of the roads melting in Yellowstone National Park.  Is the SuperVolcano sending us a warning signal?  Get prepared! I was having a conversation with our Marketing Director about the 6.8 magnitude earthquake that just struck Japan.  CNN is reporting a current tsunami alert with a blunt message, "Leave the Coast Immediately".  I figured he might wanna know considering family he visits every year in Japan.  Then he started telling me about this SuperVolcano in Montana that could destroy the Northwest and change the world as we know it.  I laughed and started searching for this bogus story.  I came across this picture of roads melting in Yellowstone and then read the date.  It was reported July 11th, 2014 in the L.A.Times.  Isn't that today?

I went deeper to find the 60 minutes segment I heard about and they researched 3 of the worst volcanic situations in the country.  Yellowstone is considered to be one of the 3 most disastrous volcanic places that could rank #1 most destructive.

The floor of the Volcano is breathing like an animal...the Yellowstone eruption WILL occur.  Of course we have no idea when...it's a devastating event. - Haraldur Sigurdsson

 

60 Minutes calls Yellowstone National Park one of nature's ticking time bombs.  It was an interesting feature with an alarming view.  I'm no stranger to mother nature's attitude. Tornadoes, flash floods and hurricanes were just part of life growing up in the South.  I was in Memphis for about a year when Hurricane Katrina smashed the Gulf Coast.  The levee which protects the city broke and the rest is history.  New Orleans was under water in minutes.  You can't prepare for that.

Volcanic experts say eruptions are coming and that destruction is inevitable.  They hope to have several weeks of noticeable activity that can be reported.  You know, like,...roads melting.  Watch this 60 minutes piece and forward to about 10:35 in to the video.  The ENTIRE story is scary, but it gets real when they say Yellowstone.
