[8)] i live less then three hours from the South Sister Mountain they described as having the bulge growing...there are many inactive volcanos here in Oregon, and also CA and WA...i find it funny that when you drive along the Oregon Coast, you will see Tsunami route signs all over, but no volcano routes[6)]

I think it was on discovery that they said Yellowstone was a super volcano. It was some show about mankind once being reduced to mere thousands of population. They say it was a quake, uhhh, uhh, an island, can't completly recall.
Anyhow, they said if Yellowstone was to blow, that hole area of the country would get a face lift. Then enough ash will be released in the sky to give a nucleur winter effect.

We are about 1.5 hours away here. Luckily its pointed the other direction. I hope it goes that way...gulp...

I have seen this. The first clue was that the lakes were shifting. Then they realized that most of Yellowstone is one giant volcano. Incredible! Imagine the power of such a release. The caldera on the big island of Hawaii is another example of a super volcano. When Mark Twain visited this site near the turn of the century, he described it as a giant lake of molten lava; many square miles in size.

Then by all means, we should cease monitoring the data.
