Making scientific predictions is a risky business.  Just a few days ago meteorologists announced the greatest snowstorm ever for NYC.    The city came to a stop, all transportation was banned, people raided supermarkets, and got ready for it.  

 

Then nothing much happened.  At least in NYC.  The storm was heavy in the northern Atlantic states but it fell short of a major disaster.

 

So science can be wrong.  Even when all the signs are added up together to forecast disaster, nature has a way doing the unpredictable.

Anyway, here is a report about a reputable geologist stating that in the case of the Yellowstone supervolcano nothing can be predicted beyond a two-week time frame. 

The number of earthquakes at Yellowstone has ramped up, along with the appearance of other disturbing geological signs, and a major eruption could happen during our lifetime - or even next month.  All the signs are there, we just don't know when the overdue eruption will take place.

Whether the government is suppressing alarming news or not, we can't tell for sure.  There could be many reasons behind it.  One of them is that since there is no certainty one way or the other, government and business don't want panic and a drop in real estate prices in the area most likely to be affected. 

 

Whether predictions for ANY disaster turn out to be accurate or not, always be prepared.

 

You need food, water, medicine, and other necessities for at least three months, not only for your family but for your pets, in case you need to hunker down at home. 

 

You also need an evacuation plan and some cash.  With our dependence on computers there may come a time when electronic access to funds is not available (an EMP event would fry the grid).

 

Check the web to get an idea of what you need.  Search using words such as preparedness, emergency, and prepper.  I have provided you with 50 links to some of the best prepper sites, and one exclusively for pets.  Never again should families be forced to abandon their pets, as was the case with the Katrina disaster.

Yellowstone Geologist predicts 

volcano eruption within two weeks

 

 by Shepard Ambellas

 

As of January 29, 2015, Hank Hessler, a park geologist stationed at Yellowstone National Park since 2002, publicly announced and put only a 2 week time-frame for the supervolcano located under the park to erupt.  (Meaning that things appear safe for the next two weeks, but that science can predict beyond that - blogger.)

Yellowstone National Park

 

There were more than 1,900 documented earthquakes throughout the park in 2014 alone as swarm activity continues to increase.

 

On March 4, 2014, Intellihub came across information, by an unnamed source, who reported that the White House had ordered the United States Geological Survey (USGS) to suppress earthquake swarm data within the region to hide what may be coming from the general public.

And this is where it gets scary as Yellowstone and a 1000 mile swath surrounding the park’s supervolcano may be on the brink of an extinction level event (ELE).

 

In fact reports suggest that ancient Helium4 gas has breached the surface layers of Yellowstone’s crust and is now escaping into the earth’s atmosphere. Coupled with the recent and abrupt ground level rise in the park we may be looking at a recipe for disaster.

 

After all, Michio Kaku, a famous theoretical physicist, pointed out in a January 2011 newscast which aired on CNN, “When it blows [Yellowstone] it could destroy the United States as we know it. […] That’s what is making us nervous”

 

Shockingly, later in the newscast, Kaku went on to explain how a 1000-mile ring of the U.S. would likely be destroyed if the supervolcano actually went. And to make matters worse, geologists all conclude that the park is long overdue for an eruption.

 

 

In fact, the last Yellowstone eruption was thought to have happened around 630,000 years ago, meaning we are about 30,000 years overdue, literally putting us in the hot seat, front row.

 

Kaku also pointed out that, “Every single burp, murmur, of this gigantic supervolcano, including the rise above sea level, has to be watched very carefully”.

 

So basically if you do the math for the disaster zone radius, the first 100-miles emanating out from ground zero would be completely wiped out. After that, ninety percent devastation would span out another 500 plus miles from ground zero, making a 1000-mile diameter ring that will essentially be fully decimated from the blast.

 

Additionally this would essentially put what’s left of the United States into a State of Emergency and full-on martial law would be declared under National Security Presidential Directive (NSPD) 51.

 

And it gets even worse.

But more importantly all of this matches up with actual data I was able to reference showing a rise of ground level in the park of more than 10 inches in the last week of February 2014 alone. So naturally this has me troubled as Michio Kaku himself stated, “As the ground starts to rise, more and more earthquakes take place, that’s about all the warning we get”, answering a question regarding a forewarning.

 

Kaku finished with, “It will happen and [when it does] it will destroy North America as we know it”.

 

During the last eruption, 640,000 years ago, vast amounts of North America were covered in at least 12 inches of ash.

 

A recent KSFY exclusive report notes, “If Yellowstone had a super eruption right now […] crops would be lost, making it impossible to feed cattle which would die. Grocery store prices would skyrocket as meat, grains and milk would be in short supply. Face masks would be mandatory as breathing in volcanic ash is essentially the same as breathing in small particles of glass.” And all of this would lead to a Mad Max-like scenario across the U.S.

 

“The people who actively watch this situation seemingly fall into two camps: those who think the Yellowstone volcano will never erupt again and those who think it will happen tomorrow.”, reported KSFY.
