30 and younger thread

Yellowstone caldera alone is 1000 square miles..

when it erupts..end of world is possible..

your cute island can go back to its daily ejaculations now.

 

well when you put it that way....

 

manua loa is 2000 sq miles, if you include the entire system it's much larger, and has erupted in the last 200,000 years

 

we have hurricanes, which imo is the lowest of most natural disasters, thankfully no lava or earthquakes, barely get tornadoes

 

no...its..not 2000 sq miles..the caldera?? its like 4 miles across...haha

the caldera is the mouth of the volcano..

Yellowstone's is 1000 sq miles..

maunua loa...4ish..

 

haha if yellowstone goes..your dead just like me haha

 

you have fires..

we passed 12 last time i was there..haha

 

I've never actually seen a tornado. Been in one but it wasn't bad.

 

Tornadoes...that is something i hope never to experience..

 

I want to see one. We were under a tornado warning for an hour while I was home. Went outside and watched the clouds swirl around. No tornado to see though...

 

tornadoes scare the crap out of me, people here freak out about hurricanes, but tornadoes are not only more destructive, but are far less predictable and can just pop up out of no where. Sure you get warnings, but that first funnel can form miles away or right on top of you. You can at least see a hurricane coming for days, and the wind is not bad, unless you live close enough to water to deal with the storm surge and floods you will be ok.

 

This

Fuck that

I'll deal with my earthquakes

 

yeah I'll take hurricanes over tornadoes, volcanoes, earthquakes, mudslides, tsunamis, and dust/sand storms any day

 

A hurricane over a dust storm? You realize youre comparing a natural disaster to a layer of dust right? We have dust storms all the time and I dont think anyone has ever died from it. This thread cracks me up

 

like a ride along with a pro? that would be cool

 

Our media blows dust storms way out of proportion, this is what usually happens in a dust storm, looks really dangerous huh

 

Top 6 Volcanoes by volume

Tamu Massif
Volume: 600,000 cubic miles (2.5 million cubic km)


Kilimanjaro
Volume: 1,150 cubic miles (4,800 cubic kilometers)


Mauna Loa
Volume: 9,600 cubic miles (40,000 cubic kilometers)


Yellowstone
Volume: 240 cubic miles (25,000 cubic kilometres)


Ichinsky
Volume: 110 cubic miles (450 cubic km)


Sierra Negra
Volume: 140 cubic miles (580 cubic km)

 

the dust storms in the 30's did a lot of damage, took out a lot of crops. And areas that have them tend to have them consistently, there are places that have very bad and violent sand storms that could bury your house. Being blasted by sand would hurt too. water will subside on its own, sand won't. Very bluntly, only idiots die in hurricanes, you can easily avoid it.

 

i don't fuck around with tornadoes, and I wouldn't risk my own car

 

yea cause it was wilderness area. So they don't do anything to them in wilderness area.
