Volcano Long Valley Caldera swelling magma chamber

Better hope this thing doesn't pull a St. Helens eruption, cause a lot of people would be seriously screwed!

Dayum! That's covering the entire state of CO!

I think the amount of ash deposited would depend largely on wind direction. Irrespective of where it was deposited, heavy ash fall would preclude surface transportation. Street, highways and probably even railroads would be clogged and impassable. We are seeing that currently with the LaPalma eruption and, as these things go, LaPalma is a small eruption.

I don't think the entire US military has the resources to supply huge numbers of refugees/victims by air.

From what I've heard, that stuff turns into concrete if there's rain.....

I live in the four corners... there are badlands all over the place.. the ash is fairly compact but Crumbles very easy in your hands... very heavy when wet. It will definitely need to be shoveled as it falls.
