See Rome and die takes on a whole new meaning!

Yep! See Naples THEN DIE HORRIBLY! I wonder what it would feel like being hit by a 300 mph 300 degree Fahrenheit hot gas and debris cloud. I for one am very afraid our World is set and ready for a catastrophic natural event, be what that may be.

If that volcano blows 100% it would be enough to set in action a chain reaction of unfortunate events. The economic aftermath in Europe would most certainly slop over the Atlantic and directly affect us here also. But ... it's totally out of our control.

We walked around Naples when landed there for a day on the cruise ship last year. We saw the ruins of Herculaneum which it quite a sight. Got so see some of preserved mosaic works. This is a picture I took last year. Herculaneum was on the coast before mount vesuvius erupted.

no, a super volcano is a global event. just short of a impact.

Absolutely. A super volcano eruption could very well set us up for another round of global cooling and several years without summers. The impact on worldwide food supplies, economies, and the human condition would be devastating.

Did a simple google search and came up with some conflicting data and opinions. One report says don't freak out while others say it's time to panic.

Who knows what to believe?

Dont forget the Yellowstone Supervolcano that experts are disagreeing on whether its due, past due, or never coming

Interesting that without any proof of any kind you dismiss the possibility that global warming (man made or otherwise) has anything to do with this. Are you omniscient or do you simply not care about proof, facts and reality?

I better go back to our lava heated hot springs and contemplate all this.
We have folks around this Montana,Idaho,Utah region who hit all the hot spring . One girl did a 365 mile hike and hit another one each night. There are many around here and ,well all over this region.
Point?
How deep is the water coming from?
How deep,or shallow is the lava?
What Richter scale? would it take to bring it to the surface?
Would the Cascadia event rumble this area enough to do it?
Sounds like a trip to the springs is in order
Oh yeah the most important question
Which ones are the nudy springs?

Can't speak for the mainland but the 'natives' on Sicily sure were friendly...

Given the, shall we say, tenor of the site, yes I thought you were serious. My bad.

Na, the "tenor", he's always serious. On the other hand the bass and soprano? now those two are regular crack ups
