as if the world weren't scary enough...

I just finished a book about the supervolcano under Yellowstone.  There's a chapter all about the worst eruptions in recorded history (dude, Krakatau was frickin' insane), and you know what I've learned?  Now I'm even more glad the only thing I really have to worry about in the near vicinity are hurricanes.  No surprises, no shock - everyone knows the storm is out there weeks in advance.  And they leave.

And, yeah, if Yellowstone erupts, I'll be dead of starvation or asphyxiation, but they're pretty sure it won't happen till long after my time, so.
