Yellowstone is closer to my back yard....
Mine too, hope the wind is from the NW when it blows. It would suck to be down wind, what does snow and ash make? Something like mortar a few feet deep that thaws and refreezes but never runs off.
Under the butterfly effect that could be the start in a chain reaction of a worldwide extinction event that would take decades to complete.

Yes, I've read quite a bit of his work. As a fiction writer he's pretty good, but his supposed non-fiction usually goes right off the rails pretty quickly.

Except that they're imaginary.
... unless you accept that all they are is you guiding you. lol

Anyway, quakes in Yellowstone are a myth just like global warming. Or maybe they are caused by electricity, right, darkbeaver? lol

I hope Yogi and Booboo are ok.

Most likely but your death would take longer to play out, years of suffering and then death. If you lived close by and didn't want to leave your next best bet would be to pick what ridge you want to watch it come from. (assuming you have time to get the beer and the lawn chair) According to one predicted map the ash fall out should stop about 3 miles from my doorstep (800 mile radius), I'm not so sure that would be considered being lucky, sure you are alive but life has just taken a sharp left turn
That sort of amount of material should cause a mini iceage or at least a few years without summer. That doesn't sound all that appealing when your feet will be your mode of transportation Going further north in a cooling world, nope not for me, looks like my only hope would be to head right into the fallout area and trudge straight through it for some 1600 miles, on foot, in winter.
