"World's largest volcano in Yellowstone National Park to wipe out two-thirds of US?"
If you are short on things to worry about, here's one to add to your list...
This came from Daniel Bates at the U.K. Daily Mail:
"The super-volcano beneath Yellowstone National Park in Wyoming has been rising at a record rate since 2004
It would explode with a force a thousand times more powerful than the Mount St Helens eruption in 1980.
Spewing lava far into the sky, a cloud of plant-killing ash would fan out and dump a layer 10ft deep up to 1,000 miles away.
Two-thirds of the U.S. could become uninhabitable as toxic air sweeps through it, grounding thousands of flights and forcing millions to leave their homes."
