re: When Is The Big One Going To Get Us?

i read up on the solar flares awhile back and while it's a vulnerability, a hit wouldn't necessarily mean the worst possible outcome. Power companies are also more aware of this than ever and can turn the switch off if there's real danger, which would leave them unharmed.

Yellowstone is the other one i worry about and that too is not necessarily as bad as it's made out to be. An eruption wouldn't automatically mean catastrophe by *could* under certain circumstances. The statistical likelihood of it happening though is pretty low and it takes 500 years for the magma to fill the chamber up enough to blow on an apocalyptic level. We don't know for sure this isn't happening but there are no signs that it is happening either.

Asteroids, especially at this point where we have identified almost all of them, is extremely unlikely anytime soon.

Nukes I worry about but not so much a traditional exchange as much as a terrorist setting one off in Manhattan or something.
