Yellowstone supervolcano was recently hit with over 450 earthquakes, prompting scientists to closely monitor the area. The first of the swarm of earthquakes began on June 12th and continued in the following days, including up to a 4.5M earthquake.
It's important to note that despite Yellowstone supervolcano's ability to erupt catastrophically, there do not appear to be signs that this swarm of earthquakes is leading to an eruption.
Geologists have monitoring systems setup surrounding the Yellowstone supervolcano that can detect seismicity underground. This monitoring system both provides data for researchers to better understand the volcano and as an early warning system. In this case, the most recent swarm of earthquakes likely was a result of the magma within the supervolcano moving through channels and conduits as it continues to fill.
The recent 4.5M earthquake was the largest to hit Yellowstone since March of 2014 when a 4.8M earthquake struck the area. Most of the earthquakes were limited to magnitudes below 1 and within the upper 9 miles of the crust. Keep in mind the earthquake magnitude scale is logarithmic, so a magnitude 2 earthquake is 10 times more powerful than a magnitude 1 earthquake.
This isn't the first time earthquake swarms have hit Yellowstone, but the latest swarm was 7 years ago in 2010. In fact, it's not uncommon that earthquakes tend to hit in swarms. As crustal rock breaks and produces an earthquake, strain is transferred to another location and often times causes a chain of crustal breaks.
Scientists are acutely in tune with the daily happenings of the Yellowstone supervolcano given its history of global scale eruptions. This particular event was marked as a 'green' by the USGS, providing clear direction that the geologists monitoring the supervolcano do not expect any imminent threat.

i would be more worried about the blacks migrating out of the nearby cities moreso than my white methhead neighbors.

The ash would also cause global famine induced by a volcanic winter so even if you don't die from breathing in heaps of ash you'll starve to death. And it'll be like this for the next 5-10 years.

The fact that these earthquake swarms continue to happen on a semi-regular basis is actually a good sign* as it shows that pressure is being dissipated slowly rather than quickly via an eruption. It's the super-volcanoes which haven't been having regular earthquakes which we should worry about.
* up to a point of course, if they were happening almost "continuously" then that could signal a problem

Even if yellowstone happened it wouldn't be much of a happening beyond the initial civil unrest and the long-term effects on livestock and agriculture. There would not be massive and immediate loss of life though

That's such a vague prediction. Earthquakes were probably scary back then with shit infrastructure, probably destroyed entire villages. "A big one, or lots of them would end the world!".

No we're all gonna die here. There won't be any unrest, we all just die horribly from the plebeian knowledge normies have of volcanic ash. 1 meter of ash is 10-50X the density of snow. The roof of your house will collapse and crush you if you don't go outside and shovel your roof

I forgot to mention, going outside will kill you horribly as well. Without proper equipment your eyes will start bleeding first until you begin drowning in your own blood. The amount of volcanic hair (thin invisible fiberglass) ejected will fuck everyone's day up. It's also a bitch to remove without a doctor

Most people I know have a small bugout bag for tornadoes and the like so a lot of people here have at least a cheap 3M one.
>>
and I expect more people will get them if things ever get weird in yellowstone, there are going to be huge warning signs that aren't just earthquake swarms before it goes.
I wager San An or Cascadia will cause a major happening before yellowstone erupts.

Those will probably be enough for everyone but anon asked about Denver region and you're gonna need the primo ones. The sulfur dioxide concentrations in that region would pass any semblance of healthy levels. It's hard to say if they'd be outright lethal

I've thought about this, and I think that would be counter productive. it would lead to a weakening of the shell above the volcano, which from what I understand, would lead to a less catastrophic eruption, would make it more likely.the best bet would actually be to slant drill from a hundred miles away, blowing out chambers to absorb the pressure when the drill finally hits a magma chamber.

it will eventually end life as we know it all over the world, so none of us are actually safe. it would be some extinction level/snowpiercer/the road type of shit.
that caldera ended up being extraordinarily larger than what geologists thought.
but then again, who the fuck am i, i'm just regurgitating all the bullshit i read. i don't know who to trust anymore.
i do know one thing though, i secretly want to live in a post-apocalyptic or dystopian blade runner future
