it's still gonna miss alabama, tennessee, georgia, south carolina, north carolina, virginia, and kentucky
the mass inbreeding from those states will be enough to repopulate the rest

No, let's build a GIANT dome around yellowstone.
It will probably work trust me and send me all your money and I'll start right away.
I hope it doesn't happen in my lifetime
oh shit we pissed it off we better start negiotations

Odds are it'd be instant.
[QUOTE=Biotoxsin;27660214]It wouldn't be cool/amazing at all. It would, for the most part if not entirely - destroy humanity, directly or not. (Via pollution or war as a result of a damages to crops, infrastructure, etc.[/QUOTE]
Oh for fuck's sake. Anyone naive enough to truly believe that a loss of 2/3 of the US would cause anything more than a depression is silly. It happened with the Dustbowl during the Great Depression.
Don't worry. All we need is a last minute plan, devised by a secret group of scientists/government that was built specifically for this reason during the late 1960s.
The plan has something to do with drilling several holes around the caldera to release the pressure in a safer manner. Each drill location will have a team of experts each having at least one hero, a woman who has no love interest until the very end, 2 token stereotypes and one insane person who tries to sabotage the operation due to [insert religious reason or anti-US conspiracy group].
It is flawless.
EDIT:
Also Morgan Freeman as the narrator to the future documentary of the vent.
pah we'll be fine
as long as sucka free stands everything will be cool
covered in ash? swim in the pacific silly
I hope something bad like this happens in a year not 2012 else i'll hear "I told you so" from all the nutjobs.
fuck yeah, Canada.
No, seriously. Fuck yeah.
It's just another jolly good day in the facepunch news section.
Thank god I live in Brazil.

You wouldn't see shit there would be ash all over the western and middle United States. every single building would fucking collapse, I am guessing around 80% of the people around that zone would die. Not beautiful at all, just greyness.
Dude....the reasons for me to move out of the US just keep climbing :v:
I think God is sending me a message :downs:

Oh no the republicans will die what will we do
after the blast California will be king. Think about it, the ash will need to circle the world to come to California, meanwhile the farms of the midwest and then the world will be wiped out and people will need a way to communicate and movies for them to feel good in literally dark times. We got the Central Valley to feed fucking everyone, the Silicon Valley to maintain all world communication as other large tech centers get destroyed from ash messing with the computers, and we got Hollywood to entertain you all. Plus the Sierra Nevada Mountains will shield us from anything from the blast besides the ash which will circle around and come in from the west, only small amounts will come in over the mountains to lightly sprinkle ash, making the Central Valley super fertile.
TL;DR West coast is BEST coast and I'm not worried one bit.
[editline]25th January 2011[/editline]
but seriously I hope this doesn't happen in my lifetime
Yaaaaaaaaay for living on the east coast! :D
REALLY REALLY hoping this doesn't explode in my lifetime.
[QUOTE=gaboer;27662176]Well, i don't think that might work well, since the magma is held at high pressure underground. Oh and scientists say that in the timeline of it exploding, we are a few thousand years overdue.[/QUOTE]
This might sound weird, but what if the drill entered sideways from beneath the West Coast, leaving a long long tunnel that the magma would probably be forced out of beneath the sea? Would that work in any way? 'cause Redblade's suggestion of drilling down seems pretty suicidal, and drilling in from the side seems a wee bit safer as it all won't go up into the air.
The concept in itself may seem like olden times bloodletting, but we currently don't know how to monitor the Earth's "blood pressure", so magmaletting seems like a fair enough option.
Ahahha you guys are FUCKED.
I'll be sitting across the atlantic sipping tea with my bad teeth as this shit hits the fan.

and then we get another cloud of ash and EU pussies ground all planes.
[QUOTE=iusehax;27660152]Although I do study Geography and I'm pretty sure this kinda stuff with the land rising in places happens quite fequently but people just try to turn it into something big.
It is scaremongering by the media?
Or something like that but thats what they did with swine flu and possibly the same here.[/QUOTE]
But this isn't caused by tectonic plates. Geography is not the same thing as geology.
Those states will be whiped out. The ash cloud will cover the earth however. (Or so I have heard)
[QUOTE=Cloak Raider;27666858]Ahahha you guys are FUCKED.

Only if the winds carry the majority of the ash towards the Pacific and not towards the Atlantic (otherwise we'll get loads of ash and chaos, nowhere near as bad as for the US, but pretty damn bad nonetheless).
Heck even if it blows towards the Pacific we'll still get quite a lot of trouble over here.
All the aliens will die in Nevada.

That's 90% of our farmland buried under ash.
