Or Paris (by Garrison Keillor in Minneapolis Star Tribune)--even Garrison Keillor has something to say about this! Crazy; I think this was the most popular day this "newspaper" has ever had, and it's not even peak tourist season, or heck, fire season. One thing is for sure; people sure love disasters--well, at least some kinds of disasters; there are plenty of other quite real disasters going on right now in Yellowstone that very few seem to care about 12/30/08 Yellowstone caldera (by Bikerbernie)--and the doom-o-phobes are predictably coming out (see this forum as one example or this or this post with videos) 12/30/08 Is Yellowstone gonna blow?

I will say this, though. One day a doomsayer will be right; averages suggest that there's enough doom in the world and enough people predicting it that they are likely to match some day. However, like Nostradamus of old, one can never make much of mere correlations. 12/29/08 Earthquakes continue to increase intensity & focus at Yellowstone (by Lan Lamphere)--spoke on the phone with Dr. Robert Smith, perhaps the greatest expert on the caldera around. However, Dr. Smith would never say that the caldera is overdue to explode as Lan suggests here--while urging people more or less to panic. I attended a lecture Smith gave a couple years ago when the Canyon Education Center opened. He pointed out that you cannot draw a generalization of explosion intervals from only a few instances. That's what we'd call in logic a very weak inference. 12/29/08 Earthquakes signal continued activity of Yellowstone volcano (by Tommy Smith) 12/29/08 Wolf delisting decision won't come today (by Rocky Barker Idaho Statesman) 12/29/08 Top 10 stories of 2008 (by Cody Enterprise) 12/29/08 Fires, economy made 2008 difficult (by Richard Reeder Cody Enterprise) 12/29/08 Joining Tom Murphy in Yellowstone (by Jim) 12/29/08 Did the Earth move for you too?
