Learned about this in my GEO class a while ago...yellowstones first eruption that we know of was 2MILLION years ago...the second one was 1.2MILLION and the third(the latest one to go off) was 600THOUSAND years ago.. so the guess that it will go off soon is correct only if you give or take 200thousand years...
The supervolcano in yellowstone also grows about 4inches a year...in other words the ground in yellow stone rises as much as 4 inches each year!
However, there is another supervolcano that is closer to erupting than the one in yellow stone. It is in California. (sorry I dont remember the name of it) they have actually found sediment from the last eruption where i live in south texas (thats a long ways from cali for those of ya who dont know!)
but no matter where you live in the U.S. if one of these goes off we are all screwed because the ash from these will practically cover most of the earth. MT. ST. Helen's ash measured .1 cubic mile. Thats enough to cover 10 city blocks in 50 stories worth of ash. Now think of this. the ash from a supervolcano will probably measure 600 cubic miles!!! yea i would say we are all screwed...
This is what I was told in my GEO class at least
Hope this informs some people who are interested.

The next one to erupt will probably be the one in the Canary Islands.

I was thinking of booking one of those Shuttle Flights - if I win the lottery - build a place on the moon.
Do they have volcanoes on the moon?

I was just thinking, if you are getting divorced, you could always buy her a house in Yellowstone and hope for the best !!!!
Whatever that might be!
Not sure if your insurance would cover it.
