Animals Fleeing Yellowstone Spark Fears of Volcanic Eruption

According to Epoch Times, multiple videos of such incidents have been posted online recently, one of which shows a herd of buffalo allegedly leaving the park and “running for their lives.” Although people behind the discussion acknowledge there’s no way to predict when the park’s massive volcano could erupt, they believe the reaction of the Yellowstone’s animals could signal some kind of alert.

On March 30, Yellowstone was struck by the most powerful earthquake it has experienced since 1980 – a 4.8 magnitude quake that did no damage, but that some believe could be connected to the various animals’ movements.

echoes of the movie 2012. Where's Charlie Frost? Remember, you heard it here first.

...the alert could be that there was an increased bug population and the lack of food is trickling up the food chain and forcing animals to flee... and how fast are they "fleeing"? are they migrating or fleeing?

I don't know. Maybe they are out for a morning run. But a volcano eruption would help combat global warming.

I called them down for a little chat

When they show up in NJ then we know they are running from the super volcano.

Good point.

^ When they show up in NJ they'll wish they took their chances with the volcano.

 

[NJmike PE]

That's an even better point. Armpit of the East Coast.

Well, maybe I am glad I live halfway across the world. Of course, if Yellowstone goes off again, we'll die over here, too, it will just take alot longer than for you folks there in the path of the pyroclastic flows.

...it will just take a lot longer than for you folks there in the path of the pyroclastic flows.

We'll there's a happy thought.

Thanks for setting the mood for today Dleg.

You'll be fine. just bring an umbrella and boots

See: http://volcanoes.usgs.gov/hazards/gas/climate.php

The most significant climate impacts from volcanic injections into the stratosphere come from the conversion of sulfur dioxide to sulfuric acid, which condenses rapidly in the stratosphere to form fine sulfate aerosols. The aerosols increase the reflection of radiation from the Sun back into space, cooling the Earth's lower atmosphere or troposphere.

It might not be a bad thing after all.

I won't die, I'm sure I have a contingency plan for it

You can't live off of MREs and Shakeology forever.

I just got a red box update that listed "Volcano" as a movie choice for the weekend ???

true, but while the population on the east coast would be paralyzed by the ash, I would be better off than most of them because I won't be out in the hordes of panicked people trying to purchase masks, food and other supplies, I could resurface a few months later when everyone is panicked because of food shortages and start selling things I grew in a makeshift greenhouse garden until the rest of my pre-recruited commune showed up and then we would progress into our own sustainable community until hostilities became to great that we would be forced to over throw what ever government emerged and then eventually proceed to take over the world.
