      Honestly, this is comforting.

    besides the huge crater that would form in that area, the ash cloud would shut down the United states for sure!

    The Internet would be clogged with billions more memes before the first ash falls reach the ground.

    Someone else linked to an explanation of why it’s not actually a concern, but if you’d like to fantasize about the end of the world I recommend the Quantum Earth series by Dennis Taylor.

    When I went to visit Yellowstone NP years ago, a friend I told about the upcoming trip asked me if I knew about the super volcano and, wasn’t I worried it might erupt while I was there? My response was of course its obviously very low odds it would happen. But if it did erupt, I would much rather be right on top of it and die almost instantly rather than die slowly and painfully over the next few months or years like the rest of North America.
