Campi Flegrei super volcano

[727Sky]

Some people have said that Yellowstone with all it's vents and the ability to release pressure is pretty low on the chance of popping it's top ...However there is one super volcano that seems to be awaking in Italy.. If it goes the loss of life just in the local area will be big and more than horrible; as far as the rest of the world we will see if the computer models and historical records are right if it blows !

Yeah, I've been reading about this one.  They had the biggest earthquake in 40 years, and like 1200 + small ones in a month.
Maybe they will get lucky and all that shaking has loosened things up and let off steam?

Worth paying attention to.

Yeah, the uplift is off the charts. But beware, there is no evidence as of yet that Campi Flegrei has ever erupted over 320 cubic km of debris. Which means that it is not a supervolcano. That requires 1000+ cubic km of eruption products to qualify. Don't mean to sound argumentative- it's just the truth.

Nice to see there is a Fragile Earth forum here. And SpectroNet is still alive on youtube, for those that remember.

The suspense is killing me.
