	I sure hope Jellystone (Whoops, Yellowstone.) doesn’t go off soon. Worry about this one too http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Long_Valley_Caldera Yeah that's closer, But It's not in the same class as Yellowstone I don't think. ____________ BSG Anthem My Facebook page

	We seem to be a bit more fortunate here in the Southwest; even when CA has their "big ones", we don't feel it here in AZ. Must be something about all the granite around here (north-central AZ). It's that or that big pretty hole in ground that takes the hit. :D ____________ BSG Anthem My Facebook page

Well, it only blew 600km3 as compared to 1000km3 for Yellowstone but still that is one huge eruption. Kansas was covered in ash. ____________

	They reckon that if Yellowstone goes it's bye bye USA, and a nuclear winter for the rest of the world ..... ____________ Damsel Rescuer, Kitty Patron, Raccoon Friend, Uli Fan, Julie Supporter, ES99 Admirer, PETA Member, 1st Childhood

	Yes the first one is always the worst. Glad you are doing ok Hev. Thanks uli, I guess you've had lots more experience. I notice that the local population in this ageing hippy paradise (nods to Celt Tooth) don't seem too fazed.

	I'll second Uli's comments about earthquakes. The first decent one is certainly the most scary, subsequent ones less so, to the point of thinking "why did my chair just fall over, I was so nicely balanced on two legs for ten minutes, and I normally mange an hour....." ____________ Bob Smith Member of Seti PIPPS (Pluto is a Planet Protest Society) Somewhere in the (un)known Universe?

	(nods to Celt Tooth) When I lived on Elsmere Island we got the shakes from time to time. In the 60s and 70s I was in the RCAF as an NCO, not a good place to be a hippy. ____________

	My first one was the Gilroy Quake 8/5/1979 at 10:05 PST. We lived in South San Jose at the time. I thought at first, I was having a serious dizzy spell. I had to held on to Daniel's bed, as I was just about reading to get him up. If the quake would have happened I few seconds later, both of us might have taken a serious tumble. The next time it happens Hev, you will instantly know, what it is. Get into the nearest doorway, or dive under a sturdy desk/table. ____________ Pluto will always be a planet to me.
