Geologists have admitted that the Yellowstone Super-Volcano is 20,000 years past due for a major eruption. Rock deformation has already occurred that dwarfs that of Mt. St. Helens in 1980

If a super eruption occurs at Yellowstone, scientists predict a 600 mile casualty radius.
Yellowstone HAS erupted before, twice. Here is a map of the extent of the destruction from the earlier blasts. This map depicts the recorded ash fall of the two previous Yellowstone Super Volcano eruptions.
Now, hypothetically, say that Yellowstone erupts the Sping/Summer of this year. Say the first map depicted in this thread (the hypothetical one) is the distribution of ash from the eruption as well as the potential casualty radius. As a result the US is put in a state of national emergency, the sun is blotted out and dimmed all over as a result of the ash in the sky (as many speculate is what happened during the “dark agesâ€) and there is general chaos and rioting everywhere.
Now, that is the scenario, tell us according to where you live now, how you would deal with the threat in your area? What would you do, bug out or stay in? What guns would you use/bring? Is you are around the edge of the blast radius, how would you deal with the ash? What would you do? How would the darkness be dealt with? Let’s have some fun with this potentially real scenario.

Yesterday afternoon, a 4.4 magnitude earthquake occurred just 9 miles southeast of the south entrance to Yellowstone National Park ... given the shallow depth of this quake, the volcanism model developed by Larry Park has suddenly lurched us a huge step towards a worst-case eruption event. Simply put, anyone living within 600 miles of Yellowstone could be sitting in a modern day Pompeii. In addition, for those living outside this area and West of the Mississippi River, there could be grievous consequences as well, because systemic processes are now building beneath Yellowstone that paint a very clear picture of a major eruption event in its early stages.

"Sooner or later, geologists warn, a 'super volcano' will strike. The eruption of pent-up energy will cover half the United States in ash, in some places up to 3 feet (1 meter) deep. Earth will be plunged into a perpetual winter that would last years. Some plant and animal species will disappear forever. Even humans could be pushed to the edge of extinction." [Space.com, op. cit]
