A major volcanic eruption at Yellowstone Park.
Where I live there is very little in the way of natural disasters that happen here at all. But a major event in Yellowstone would take out the entire midwest and destroy a massive area as it did once befor.
What natural disaster to you fear the most?

For my family in the south, it's the tornado and the hurricane mostly
Then there's that super volcano out Yellowstone way.....if it goes, my state's in big trouble from what I've learned....
It appears that I lost a Sodahead friend in the quake and tsunami that hit Japan a little over a year ago.....I miss you, Miki C.
The hurricane and the Tsunami you can prepare for but the Earth Quake you can not.

The weight of that ice is 1.5875 x 10 to the 18th power pounds. I don't even know the word that describes that much weight. But it is enough to Cap/plug at least 11 major volcanoes from erupting underneath the ice. That much weight is also deforming the crust of the earth and as the ice melts the earths crust is going to "rebound" back into its normal position. The result will be a bending of the North American Continent right up the middle of the US. The New Madrid Fault is an extremely active fault and is on one of the thinest parts of our continents crust.
I'd say that the concept of global warming took on a new face when I saw this and it scares me silly as to what my great grandchildren may experience.
There is an ancient North Ameican Indian ledgen of a time when the whole world will shake and the "land will be split in two" and a "new sea will form in the middle of the land" And all who were alive but a very few will be dead.
It may be that this was the way North America was BEFORE the last major ice age and the Native North American Indian ledgens are describing that. There is some evidence to support that in the land on both sides of the Mississippi.
