1988 - Super Volcano

Well I found a movie made by the BBC about what would happen if the Yellowstone super volcano erupted. It's 95% movie with 5% volcano facts interspersed in the movie by the actors themselves. So if you decide to watch this, make sure you have the money to stock up on the food and water stores that you will suddenly desire.



Did I mention that the movie is 2 hours long? Click on the title so you can blow it up full screen on YouTube. And it actually is a very good movie.

And for more info on big volcanos go to wikipedia to read about the Volcanic Explosivity Index.

Gotta' go to the store now.....

Harry Turtledove's latest book series is called "Supervolcano" and deals with the same scenario. One book is out so far, and it's not bad.

Supervolcano sounds really cool. Unless it dumps ash all over my car.

Bilbo - The movie will get you to the store faster.

Heidi - You're a lot closer to ground zero than the rest of us.

Peg - Just the essentials, right?

Jay - The ash won't be the problem. It will be the 25 million guests that will be heading your way.
