yeah that was amazing, how did he get the city so quiet afternoon on a sunday?

I think it's one of those cities where they hold races, Monaco for instance... was a few barriers on the roads, so I think he must've had the nerve to ask the organisers if he could have a quick whip around

 

[Cerb]

San Fran? I might be wrong but I've never heard of a race that goes on there.

If it is all one take, which I'm somewhat skeptical of, then they probably paid a pile of money to have streets closed for a few hours at 6am on a Sunday morning or something, I'm guessing.

Cleaning out my bedroom cupboards as i'm redecorating and chucking loads of stuff out.

I have just found a 12pk of Durex with an expiery date of June 1995, with 2 left in there too.

Thank you for reminding me of this guy! Fuck that was awesome

...and on a lighter note, a massive supervolcanic eruption of Yellowstone is overdue....

...and on a lighter note, a massive supervolcanic eruption of Yellowstone is overdue....

It's actually not and it is at the same time - read on.

"YELLOWSTONE VOLCANO (CAVW#1205-01-)
44.43°N 110.67°W, Summit Elevation 9203 ft (2805 m)
Volcano Alert Level: NORMAL
Aviation Color Code: GREEN

Is it true that the next caldera-forming eruption of Yellowstone is overdue?

No. First of all, one cannot present recurrence intervals based on only two values. It would be statistically meaningless. But for those who insist... let's do the arithmetic. The three eruptions occurred 2.1 million, 1.3 million and 0.64 million years ago. The two intervals are thus 0.8 and 0.66 million years, averaging to a 0.73 million-year interval. Again, the last eruption was 0.64 million years ago, implying that we are still about 90,000 years away from the time when we might consider calling Yellowstone overdue for another caldera-forming eruption. Nevertheless, we cannot discount the possibility of another such eruption occurring some time in the future, given Yellowstone's volcanic history and the continued presence of magma beneath the Yellowstone caldera.


The most likely type of eruption would not be volcanic but, rather, hydrothermal. This type of small, but still explosive eruption can occur from shallow reservoirs of steam or hot water rather than molten rock. These reservoirs are the sources of Yellowstone's famous geysers, hot springs, and fumaroles. Such explosions could blast out shallow craters more than a kilometer wide; as has occurred in the northern Yellowstone Lake Basin, including Mary Bay and nearby Turbid Lake and Indian Pond, and in western Yellowstone National Park north of Old Faithful. Each of these craters was produced by steam blasts within the past few thousand years.

The most likely type of volcanic eruption at Yellowstone would produce lava flows of either rhyolite or basalt; rhyolitic lava eruptions could also include explosive phases that might produce significant volumes of volcanic ash and pumice. Such eruptions could range in size from smaller than the 1980 eruption of Mt. St. Helens through much larger than the 1991 Mount Pinatubo eruption.

The least likely but worst-case volcanic eruption at Yellowstone would be another explosive caldera-forming eruption such as those that occurred 2.1 million, 1.3 million, and 640,000 years ago. However, the probability of such an eruption in any given century or millennium is exceedingly low, much lower than the smaller eruptions mentioned above.

If that type of eruption were to occur, it would have a devastating effect on America and possibly result in a volcanic winter. However, as mentioned above, there is no reason to believe that it will happen in any particular century.

Sounds like the forecasters have got it nailed, off to buy a tin hat and ten years of supplies.

Well its USGS they do nothing but study it, they might not be 100% accurate but they won't be far off.

 

[Job]

I think it's reasonable to presume that we'll see smaller pressure releases long before the big one.

bit like me after a chicken korma then really..

Truth is - they don't know. They use words like "most likely", which is good enough for us, living out our short lives. On the otherhand...there could be an eruption tomorrow. Or a week next Thursday. Or in 67 years. Or in 1000 years, or in 500,000 years. Its not if, its when. I could be wrong here, but the USGS can't predict earthquakes before they happen, can they? An earth's tremor in the middle of the sea might give affected regions a number of hours prior warning before a tsunami strikes. But a sudden unexpected eruption, although unlikely, is possible in our lifetime.

If the world explodes i won't care because i will be dead and so will everything i gave two hoots about tbh, no point wasting time worrying about it.

As a species i can't help but feel we are around the middle of the period of time we have in which to decentralize ourselves from one planet or perish, all it would take is changing of priorities and possibly a new world order as i would rather see humankind attain this than have the new latest pointless gadget.

No-one can predict specific earthquakes - you can see when a region is getting busy sometimes with little quakes but sometimes they just come from nowhere. Imagine loads of different rock types with different behaviours crushed together under great pressure - add in sometimes extremely complex 3d faultzones and you have an idea of how difficult it is to say when a specific section will fail/move and generate an earthquake.

Eruptions are a lot easier by comparison - with modern monitoring equipment you know when they are becoming more active and you can even track magma rising while its still kilometers below the earth. Its difficult to know what type of eruption your going to get though unless you can get samples of the magma/erupting gases.

Saying that Yellowstone could be a bit of a sod - theres lots of activity there all the time and the magma could rise very slowly over centuries and never be spotted until boom.

A study I read talked about the ground level rising over the last few decades - you would expect that when the caldera is filling with magma and the pressure starts to force up the ground above it.

Tbh it could explosively erupt tomorrow or not for thousands of years but either way there's really nothing we can do v a big bang scenario.

Doubtful it'd happen over night Lamp such an eruption would give a shit tonne of pre-eruption warnings like pressure releases/minor quakes etc etc before it went up or so I would imagine anyway. Even then they say it could be a small eruption to what everyone is expecting or it could be bigger than Pinatubo or in absolute worse case scenario it would cause a volcanic winter basically blocking out the sun for months.

No one really knows for sure because quite simply we haven't seen it happen before, science is mostly speculation despite evidence they uncover.
