The really great thing about all of this is that, eventually, the doomsayers will more or less be vindicated, and they will be able to say "I told you so..."

When I was a kid, the prevailing notion was that the Yellowstone region was more or less defunct, and the geysers and hot springs were the last whimper of fading volcanic activity. More recent work has shown that there is plenty of volcanic potential.

But when will eruptions, etc. occur? We are not yet able to predict earthquakes and eruptions with any significant precision, although progress is made.

You can check out USGS websites and get a very good idea of the earthquake, etc., potential. It is information gathered with public money and freely available for all.
