according to scientists studying the possible effects of an eruption from Yellowstone:
"While a supereruption hasn't occurred at Yellowstone since 640,000 years ago, in the event
that one happens again in the next few centuries, sleep soundly knowing
that the effects would not be catastrophic. The worst you can expect is
reduced traction on roads, shorted-out electrical transformers and
respiratory problems, as well as damage to buildings, blocked sewer and
water lines, and disruption of livestock and crop production.
