That one's going to be a real doozy when it happens, and if geologists/volcanologists/other scientists are correct, it could come any time now. It may even be overdue. I think it's on a rough schedule of every 650,000 years.
The Yellowstone super volcano erupting will have a devastating effect on the US, and then possibly the world.
