So did this film predict what would happen once Yellowstone erupts?

>>84081227
Never actually explained, but could be. I always thought the way the father describes it happening sounded like an asteroid or something like it.

Well, at least the coast that matters will survive the initial destruction.
I know it sounds edgy or whatever, but I'd honestly like to see some sort of giant world changing event like this happen in my lifetime.

From the book I got that it was a meteor. Would explain all the ash, dead wildlife, fires, and the ship being brought inland all fucked up.

I seemed to get the impression that it was nuclear war, he talks about fire eveywhere, melted asphalt everywhere, ash in the air, in the ocean...I think it was a nuclear bomb.

>>84084088
nukes don't create ash. and if it was nukes, they would be walking in an irradiated wasteland.

>>84084142

Hm, maybe it was an asteroid then...but fire, extreme heat, melting asphalt?...how would an asteroid do that, unless you were at ground zero?

>>84084222
The asteroid that killed the dinosaurs created enough ash and hot pollution that it blacked out the sun across the world

>>84084401

>The most notable eruptions of Krakatoa culminated in a series of massive explosions over August 26–27, 1883, which were among the most violent volcanic events in recorded history.

>The 1883 eruption ejected approximately 25 km3 (6 cubic miles) of rock.[3] The cataclysmic explosion was heard 4,800 km (3,000 mi) away in Alice Springs, as well as on the island of Rodrigues near Mauritius, 4,653 km (2,891 mi) to the west.[4]

>With an estimated Volcanic Explosivity Index (VEI) of 6,[2] the eruption was equivalent to 200 megatons of TNT (840 PJ)—about 13,000 times the nuclear yield of the Little Boy bomb (13 to 16 kt) that devastated Hiroshima, Japan, during World War II, and four times the yield of Tsar Bomba (50 Mt), the most powerful nuclear device ever detonated.

>The pressure wave from the final explosion was recorded on barographs around the world. Several barographs recorded the wave seven times over the course of five days: four times with the wave travelling away from the volcano to its antipodal point, and three times travelling back to the volcano.[21]:63 Hence, the wave rounded the globe three and a half times.

>Average global temperatures fell by as much as 1.2 degrees Celsius in the year following the eruption. Weather patterns continued to be chaotic for years and temperatures did not return to normal until 1888.

Volcanoes are dope

>>84082992
did you not see interstellar? why would crops survive yellowstone blast lol

>>84085041
Plus Yellowstone, if it erupts, will not create the tsunamis and shit that so many others claim it will. The important things to take away are that the Mississippi is fucked and so many crops, water supplies and many other things are fucked and a lot of the surrounding area will be impacted by the ash clouds. It won't be a fucking apocalypse.

>>84085041

Krakatoa was a minor volcano.

Yellowstone is a caldera turning into a supervolcano. Very very different things.

>Experts at the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) say the risk of an eruption at Yellowstone supervolcano is low—the current volcano alert level remains normal and the aviation color code, which provides information on the potential risk to fights, is green—meaning the volcano is in a normal, non-eruptive state.

>A spokesperson from the USGS and YVO tells Newsweek the current activity appears to be “slowly winding down” and that “no other geological activity has been detected.”

>The probability of a large eruption at Yellowstone in the next year is currently calculated at one in 730,000.

>"Besides intense earthquake swarms (with many earthquakes above M4 or M5), we expect rapid and notable uplift around the caldera (possibly tens of inches per year). Finally, rising magma will cause explosions from the boiling-temperature geothermal reservoirs. Even with explosions, earthquakes and notable ground uplift, the most likely volcanic eruptions would be the type that would have minimal effect outside the park itself."
