When Yellowstone Erupts, what is your plan?

[Sean951]

I'll be buried under 8 inches of ash, so probably die an agonizing death as my lungs are torn to shreds by the hot bits of rock I'm inhaling.

 

[Mr.Mattress]

Is it really in danger of blowing anytime soon? Cause if not then I'll just continue with my regularly scheduled programming

The Regular Schedule for the Yellowstone Volcano is: We're way past due for an explosion... So yeah, it can happen at any time, and probably soon...

Quit talking out of your ass.

Sorry, I had heard from the History Channel Recently that it's suppose to be due for another eruption. Sorry...

I live in Illinois so my immediate concern would be the nearby gigantic fault line that is also overdue for release. Last time it quaked the Mississippi river (damn big river) flowed backwards. My guess is that an explosion of Yellowstone's magnitude would cause it to go off. Other than that, monitor the wind patterns and plan accordingly. Probably would head up to Michigan due to the abundance of people who are used to the cold, have close bonds, and can hunt as well as the wildlife that would make great food sources. Not to mention the fact that anyone else traveling would head south due to the whole Ice age thing. Also I would definitely would be hitting the shooting range more often if I got some forewarning.

Apology accepted, and never trust the history channel haha

Also, it wouldn't be too terrible if you edited that link into your OP....

Die horribly, as I live close enough to Yellowstone to be instantly buried in freshly extradited lava.

(Then again, maybe Robert Brockway needs to be less sensationalistic, and I'm wrong.)

If I'm wrong, and I survive the flying ash and lava, I use my Edmontonian powers (+50% Cold Resistance), body and metabolism type (+20% Cold Resistance) and decent endurance (+10% Cold Resistance) to not die.

Well, shoot, I'll probably have to cancel my 21st December 2012 apocalypse plans. I hate it when a catastrophic event screws up your calendar.

I sometimes wish a catastrophic event does take place, just so that all the doomsayers can get it out of their system. Oh wait, they won't have any system left. They'll be dead!

 

[TheYellowCellPhone]

I live in California, so if and when it goes there won't be much to do but kick back and welcome the sweet release of death.

We should have a competition, who dies first. You'll probably win, but it's worth a shot.

 

[Substitute Troll]

So... Sweden's fine, right?

 

[Mau95]

There's one in Germany too, so I'm screwed either way (my country shares a border with Germany and the Atlantic).

 

[silver wolf009]

Be happy I'm not living anywhere near Yellowstone! I think North Carolina is far enough away that we'll escape the worst of it. If it gets too bad, I could get on a boat and head East, or south to the Caribbean.

I remember hearing we'd get about a millimeter of ash were Yellowstone to erupt. Not good, but better than several tons of ash, and rock, and super heated debris.

North Carolina for the win!

Since I'm going to die anyways, I'll beat up some drug dealers and kill myself with the heroin I loot from them. Supposedly one of the most pleasing ways to die.

But loot is randomly generated for low level drug dealers. If you want the legendary drug drops you have to take out the boss, but that requires at least 4 other people.

 

[TheScientificIssole]

I can jump straight into the Atlantic from where I am. So that.

 

[BushMonstar]

I'll be more worried when Mt. Rainier erupts, as that is one of the most dangerous dormant volcanoes on earth, and I live close to it.

 

[Da pyro man 999]

Being in East Anglia, i'm not sure how badly i'll be effected by the ash fallout, but as for the aftermath, i would probably store up on really warm cloths, mini gas cookers, a tonne of books, tinned food and a few hundred gallons of pepsi max should see me through the fallout comfortably.

Oh, and water, i better stock up on that to.

 

[AlexWinter]

Considering Australia is thousands of kilometers away, the most I'll have to worry about is the possibility of some damned refugees coming in and takin are JOBS!

Damned refugees coming in and taking are JOBS!

Coming in and taking are JOBS!

Taking are jobs!

ARE JOBS!

ARE JOBS!!!!!!!



OT: Survival of the fittest unfortunately.

 

[Dr. Pepper Unlimited]

Live my life as I do now since it won't happen in my lifetime, or the next thousands of years after it.

 

[Wintermoot]

I live in Western Europe.
assuming the new ice age is going to cover The Netherlands I will sell my summer clothes and get a parka and winter proof my house.

 

[DarkRyter]

Join a mad max style gang.

Rape and pillage a bit until I get killed by a protagonist.

 

[M0rp43vs]

Virgin sacrifice, of course. Always the answer
By that I mean, send wave after wave of fat virgins into the crater to clog up the hole.

Will it work?
Hell no, but I'm sure it'll be funny and who knows? maybe the fire god will be pleased with my offering

 

[Gmans uncle]

I live in Utah, so I'm right in ground zero...
