Is The Most Dangerous Volcano Is America Roaring To Life?

Is it possible that the Yellowstone supervolcano is gearing up for a major eruption? 

Yellowstone poses a very serious threat to all of us.  Yellowstone National Park in Wyoming is actually sitting directly above a massive supervolcano.  The magma “hotspot” underneath it is about 300 miles wide.  This supervolcano has erupted before, and scientists tell us that when it fully erupts again it could potentially destroy the United States.  So could such an eruption happen any time soon?  Well, we know that Yellowstone is overdue for a major eruption, and we also know that there are hundreds of earthquakes in the Yellowstone area every single year.  Scientists that monitor Yellowstone have been quite alarmed that some areas of Yellowstone have been slowly but steadily rising, and here in 2025 there have been some very unusual earthquake swarms.  So yes, there are good reasons to be really concerned about what has been going on at Yellowstone.

Geologists tell us that a full-blown eruption of the Yellowstone supervolcano could have up to 1,000 times the power of the eruption of Mount St. Helens in 1980, such an eruption would have the potential to dump a suffocating layer of volcanic ash that is at least 10 feet deep on almost the entire country, and approximately two-thirds of the U.S. would immediately become uninhabitable.

The Yellowstone supervolcano is the biggest volcano in North America by a very wide margin, and a major eruption would permanently turn all of our lives completely upside down.

In fact, a major eruption at Yellowstone would permanently end America’s status as a superpower in just a single day.

So when Yellowstone shakes, that should definitely get our attention.

In late January, a magnitude 3.9 earthquake was keenly felt throughout Yellowstone National Park…

An earthquake near Yellowstone National Park shook parts of eastern Idaho and western Wyoming on Tuesday.

At about 6 p.m., a magnitude-3.9 earthquake was recorded about 15 miles outside of Mammoth, Wyoming, which is about 82 miles northeast of Rexburg. It was the second earthquake in or near Idaho today. At about 6:25 a.m., a magnitude-3.0 earthquake shook the ground near Stanley.

According to the U.S. Geological Survey, the earthquakes occurred at depths of 7 miles and 12 miles, respectively.

Subsequently, there were two very alarming earthquake swarms in the area during the month of February…

February seismicity in Yellowstone was marked by two swarms.

A swarm of 18 earthquakes was located approximately 13 miles south-southwest of Mammoth, in Yellowstone National Park, during February 1–8. The largest earthquake in the sequence was a magnitude 1.6 on February 3 at 1:24 AM MST.

A swarm of 11 earthquakes took place approximately 5 miles south-southeast of West Thumb, in Yellowstone National Park, on February 11. The largest earthquake in the sequence was a magnitude 2.4 on February 11 at 1:44 AM MST.

The following are 12 facts about the Yellowstone supervolcano that are more than just a little bit frightening…
