Lousiana is safe except for Shreveport-Bossier. And maybe Plain Dealing.

Just looked at my old geology notes...not a world ender, but asia is gonna starve to death if it happens.
No rain, meager light...no food.

Even if louisiana and the southeast, as well as the whole east coast avoids the molten lava and ash fallout, the entire US of A along with most of the world would be completely fricked. The cloud of ash coming from this thing would block out the sun for months or years from what I have read. Crops, and then animals would die completely wrecking the ecosystem and food chain for us. If (and it's a huge if) this thing blows in our lifetime you'll wish you were in the lava field and die right away rather than suffer the global collapse that would follow. Not sure how reliable the things I've read are, but that's what I heard at some point

Nah dude, I've seen Book of Eli, I Am Legend, and The Hunger Games.
Whatever the post apocalyptic scenario is, I'm good to go

Read again...temp estimates are 6-8 degrees cooler globally...essentislly the same as 1000 years ago.
Droughts and famine kill asia.

Or maybe they're migrating out to find food. Because that's what bison do.

Are the bison leaving Yellowstone National Park because it is overgrazed?
To date, the central and northern bison herds have not reached the estimated food-limited carrying capacity of approximately 5,500 to 7,500 bison inside the park during winter. Also, several assessments of conditions by scientists and land managers have indicated the park is not overgrazed.
National Park Service biologists have recommended maintaining a bison population that fluctuates between 2,500 and 4,500 to preserve ecological processes that meet conservation needs and to mitigate social and political conflicts in Montana.

Krakatoa is small compared to the one in Yellowstone and the one in Naples, Italy (both of which are xonaidered active).but it is recorded to have had dimmed the sun for about two years and the explosion sent many tsunamis and was heard about 3000 miles away.
These two would likely do worse than we think.

How bad would a supervolcano ruin the US?
Obviously no one knows for sure and climate (primarily wind) conditions on the day of the eruption would have a huge impact, but some of the predicted fallout maps are insane.
I actually read this book about volcano explosions and for decades apparently there was molten rock in Missouri or Iowa (can't remember which one) that baffled geologists. Some thought it was from a glacial drift but no one really believed that because it didn't lineup with the last ice age. Apparently some geologist from Yellowstone got a hunch and asked for a sample. He was (somehow) able to connect it to the ash spewed from an euption in Yellowstone.
That thing is a damn nuclear bomb sitting in the US. The effects would drastically affect our way of life for centuries if a major eruption ever occured.

I doubt that it will erupt anytime soon but when wildlife flee like that, it's not a comforting sign.
Interesting article.

Via Roadways while obeying traffic laws?
That's not migrating to find food, that's taking the best OUT GIF ever and slapping it right in our faces.

I see a volcano as being quite like a pimple.
Therefore if we get Julianne Hough and some proactiv volcano version. We good

They just heard of the ACA deadline and were hauling arse to get to a computer. They had to have unicorns, bison, and dinosaurs sign up to achieve that magical 7M number.
Nothing to see here.

Would all that ash reach Dallas?
Wouldn't matter if it did. The ash would devastate the midwest, so very little, if any crops this year.
Time to hoard.

Growing up without any real world issues like this in my life. (Born in 86) This really is entirely incomprehensible what it might be like.
