It isn't. But worrying about it accomplishes nothing. We know that if a caldeira like Yellowstone would blow, we can't really do anything to either prevent it from happening or to limit the outcome of the event.

You know whats interesting, I started looking into it during the swarms and harmonic tremors of 2009 when people were really thinking it would erupt. The month of quake swarms came again in 2010.

It hasn't happened yet in 2011, but I think it will toward the end of summer, I'll be watching the monitors.

But then they made that 2012 movie, and a lot of people actually learned about yellowstone being a supervolcano from that. Many people didn't know about it beforehand. Obviously now most people take it as a joke though because they put it in the movie. I just wonder why they put it in so shortly after me and that Chris guy made those million view videos about yellowstone erupting on youtube.

600-800 k years average for super eruptions
but have been smaller sized eruptions around 70k years ago
