Man, I love geoscience! I really look forward to what gets learned and extrapolated from this. I'm not one to worry about doomsday scenarios, that's no way to live one's life, but that would be something else if it does blow.
Personally, I blame all those darned drones people keep crashing into the geysers, plugging them up and building pressure.

When St. Helens popped back in the day we had 4-6" in western Montana. Lots of air filters and engine rebuilds were the major negative effects. The positive effect was the ash fertilizing the soil. Stuff grew like mad the next year.

I was just a wee tot back then, but I swear I remember seeing the ash falling in Grand Junction, CO. I don't remember the ash on the ground, but the little flecks floating in the air I remember for some reason. Probably because of the grown ups talking about it.

According to the recent reports, swarming is higher than it has been in the last few years. But is lower than similar swarms that happened in 2002, 2004, 2008 and 2010. So not much to worry about. Scientists still rate the chances of an eruption as "low".

Unfortunately, if the ash is deep it will block oxygen from the soil, thus sterilizing it.
^^ yup. Not saying it is or isn't gonna happen but my understanding is it would be nothing like Mt St Helens. More like an unimaginably massive explosion versus what we normally think of as an eruption. There would be very little left for many states around and the loss of life and disruption of day to day business would be uncharted.

"Low", in 3 months or in 300 years, so it will be after Ouray
