Why are those people just standing there?!?
They are waiting for the next geyser display. Seems Old Faithful would be a safer place to be since it vents the built up pressure rather than letting it build up to dangerous levels. Besides, they paid to get there and by damn they're gonna see it even it it kills them.

It's taken longer than a minute, although, in the greater scheme of things....
It's taken about 6 years for America to go from being a superpower to a third world country.
Oooooh! It needs to hold off until I can finish pitching my lasted idea for an epic movie event to Sci-Fi Network... Bearcano!
is that like a Shark-nado

For the eruption, however, being to the east of it is a bad deal, close better than far, but if it goes on the order of a supervolcano, you can expect serious consequences even here.

I believe if it is a Supervolcano the whole world will feel it.
Perhaps be covered in ash for years.
If we live through it, it will be funny watching Al Gore and Obama blame it on man made Climate change.
... Bearcano!
A sure hit.
don't tell Al Gore, but those things spew 1000's of Tons of CO2 .. way more that 100,000 69 Cadillacs combined

I said far, meant close, far better than close. World wont end, but depending on the season, having most of Americas breadbasket buried under feet and feet of ash disrupting not just crop cycles but also all ground transport, as we learned in the desert, engines and fine dust dont get along.

NO KIDDING
for those who don't know ... that would affect the entire world's weather for years if they have a major eruption.
"YELLOWSTONE NATIONAL PARK -
The world's authority on Yellowstone National Park’s supervolcano says it's more than twice as big as scientists once thought. "

More interesting info. about the super-volcano at Yellowstone:
"On Sunday, the worst earthquake in about 30 years rattled the Yellowstone supervolcano. Overall, there have been at least 25 significant earthquakes at Yellowstone National Park since Thursday, but it is the 4.8 earthquake that has many observers extremely worried.
Image: Yellowstone National Park (Wiki Commons).
Could such a large earthquake be a sign that the Yellowstone supervolcano is starting to roar to life after all this time? And if it does erupt, what would that mean for the rest of the country? As you will see below, a full-blown eruption at Yellowstone would be absolutely catastrophic. It is estimated that such an eruption could dump a 10 foot deep layer of volcanic ash up to 1,000 miles away and render much of the nation uninhabitable for years to come. In essence, it would instantly bring the United States to its knees."
