I remember it well, I personally saw the ash was landing as far west as the Black Hills. The sunsets were spectacular BTW.After experiencing the Mt. St. Helens eruption(s), I wouldn't want to even TRY to plan for a Yellowstone ka-boom! We had several friends and a couple relatives that lost their homes here around the Castle Rock/Toutle area when "The Mountain" blew, and that was just from the mud flow that came down the Toutle. We thought we were all ready for that, as we had a month of build up warning us to get ready... but nope!
Yeah if that sucker goes it is nearly unsurvivable for hundreds of miles. You would have to have a bunker and means to dig out. Very difficult to pull off.
