As news of any flavor, this is entirely null and void. As a chatty upbeat promo, it's fine, just fine.

First of all your prefix is supposed to be video and you forgot your run time and synopsis.

Secondly something is always going on at Yellowstone. When it’s no longer active is when we should be concerned.
Right? I think people forget, old faithful is only one of the many seismic fluctuations that happen in Yellowstone daily. Last year there were 2,500 earthquakes.

The rhyolite magma chamber beneath Yellowstone is only 5-15% molten (the rest is solidified but still hot), so it is unclear if there is even enough magma beneath the caldera to feed an eruption.

So there isn't 1500 cubic kilometers of melt floating at the top of the chamber, hmm? ;):)
