Hey CrowBar, you are right, it is a lot more than a few states. When the news is on, watch how the jet stream flows from West to East and loops down south before coming back north; now imagine ash being carried that whole route. Not only will people have to deal with hot ash in the short run and cool ash in the long run, but the sky will darken with it and it will get cold. We will be praying for global warming if that happens. Not sure which if any plants can survive being buried in ash. Keep in mind that caustic lye for soap is made from ash, so it ain’t harmless. West Coast might be ok with the wind patterns as they are from the ashes, but will still get cold for at least a year. Yellowstone caldera blowing is a world changer.
