I'm sure we are enjoying it a lot more than they are."The legitimate powers of government extend to such acts only as are injurious to others. But it does me no injury for my neighbour to say there are twenty gods, or no god. It neither picks my pocket nor breaks my leg." --Thomas Jefferson

It won't disappear, it will just be covered in 12-24" of volcanic ash from Wyoming to New York, all the way down through the South. The amount of agricultural lands lost will be catastrophic.The whole world will suffer from mass starvation.For rig details, see my profile. Nothing here anymore... -

True, I didn't mean physically.

I read somewhere that Yellowstone's eventual eruption would be 20 times more powerful than the largest volcanic eruption yet recorded--here it is:
http://www.yellowstonenationalpark.com/calderas.htm
"Caldera's are large basin-shaped volcanic depressions more or less circular in form. Caldera eruptions on the Yellowstone scale have a world wide frequency of perhaps once every hundred thousand years. Somewhat smaller eruptions, on the scale of Crater Lake-Mount Mazama in Oregon, are more frequent, perhaps every 1,000 years or less. Such explosive eruptions were not isolated events. Rather, they were climactic stages of magmatic processes that extended over hundreds of thousands of years.
No one has ever seen a volcanic explosion on the scale of the Yellowstone eruptions, but smaller explosions have been observed and their activity described. Consider Mount Tambora, on the island of Sumbawa, Indonesia to grasp some idea of what's involved when a caldera forms during or just after an ash flow eruption. For about three years the volcano rumbled and fumed before a moderate eruption on April 5, 1815 produced thundering explosions heard 870 miles away. Next morning volcanic ash began to fall and continued to fall though the explosions became progressively weaker,
On the evening of April 10 the mountain went wild. Eye witnesses 20 miles away described three columns of flame rising from the crater and combining into one at a great height. The whole mountain seemed to be covered with flowing liquid fire. Soon these distant viewers were pelted with 8-inch pumice stones hurled from the volcano. Clouds of ash, borne by violent gaseous currents, blasted through nearby towns blowing away houses and uprooting trees. The village of Tambora was destroyed by rolling masses of incandescent, hot ash.
On April 16, booming explosions loud enough to be heard on Sumatra, 1600 miles to the west, continued into evening. Mount Tambora, still covered with clouds higher up, seemed to be flaming on its lower slopes. For a day or two, skies turned jet black and the air cold. When the eruption ended, the ash cloud drifted west and settled on all islands downwind. With the expulsion of so much magma, the mountain collapsed, unsupported from within, forming a great caldera. Lombok, 124 miles to the west, was covered by a blanket of ash two feet thick. Tidal waves crashed on islands hundreds of miles away. Waves and ashfalls killed more than 88,000 people.
Ash blasted into the stratosphere circled the earth several times causing unusually beautiful sunsets in London early that summer. In 1816, mean temperatures in the northern hemisphere dropped by half to more than 1? E Farmers in Europe and America called this the year without a summer.
Tambora's eruption was the largest and deadliest volcanic event in recorded history. How does it compare with the Yellowstone caldera eruptions? If we reduce all the ash from Tambora to dense rock equivalents and include all ash flow tuffs that formed at the same time, we come up with about 36 cubic miles of rock. Quite a bit compared with the destructive U.S. eruptions of Mount St. Helens in 1980 that produced about 1/4 cubic mile.
Both of these shrink to insignificance when compared with Yellowstone. The volume of volcanic rock produced by the first Yellowstone caldera eruption was about 600 cubic miles-about 17 times more than Tambora, and 2,400 times as much as Mount St. Helen's, an almost incomprehensible figure. One more statistic: Ash from Tambora drifted downwind more than 800 miles; Yellowstone ash is found in Ventura, California to the west and the Iowa to the east. It is likely the earth has seldom in its long history experienced caldera explosions on the scale of those that created Yellowstone."TNRabbit
