I live close to Yellowstone and this happens all the time. There are geysers that go off like this once every couple years or once every couple decades.

Sorry, it was a hot spring, not a geyser. Porkchop Geyser in Norris Geyser Basin, blew out a few years ago and has not erupted since then. It is also not related to magma movement. I have been past that spring several times in the last 20 years, since I live fairly close to the Park and am up there frequently. The last time I was at that pool was in winter when everything nearby was covered with ice. The whole area is very pretty, but it will probably not be reopened until next year. Excelsior Geyser in Midway Geyser Basin blew out a number of years ago, leaving a large crater. It is now a steaming pool near Grand Prismatic Spring.

geyser erupts.. who would have guessed!!!

[@KingCobbones]

It's not a geyser site - it was near Black Diamond Pool.

[@OMGmyFACE]

Lived in Montana for long enough that I stopped caring whether or not Yellowstone erupted and the world hasn't gotten much better since, so, eh. If it's as bad as it might be, just get right with God and tell people you love 'em, not much you can do about a volcano but run really far.

[@susanwahl6322]

If I remember correctly, the experts said that this would never happen.

[@Ang.0910]

U remember incorrectly

[@gabegood8989]

said no expert EVER!!

[@alexwavves7756]

No expert ever said that geysers don't exist. What you are remembering correctly is them saying that the supervolcano underneath Yellowstone is in no danger of erupting any time soon.

[@alexwavves7756]

Which is absolutely true, FYI.

[@garyda1]

Actually, the experts said that the super volcano could erupt in 10,000 years or it could erupt tomorrow. There is absolutely no way to predict it.

[@Vulpine407]

It's kind of unnerving. Geologists have long tracked that the former volcano under Yellowstone has erupted multiple times throughout history. The good news is that the chances of it doing so anytime within the next several thousand years are very low.

[@micheleh5269]

But aren't some of the lakes seeing changes along the edges - the water getting shallower along the edges where the volcano is pressing upward?

[@jocelynharris-fx8ho]

I'm part of the Calvary Chapel family on the east coast. I think that all these things are happening because God is trying to open our eyes. We have turned our backs on him for so long. If people are worried about this blast, they'll be really shocked when they see what the Great Tribulation has in store. Boiling pools remind me of the Lake of fire in the book of Revelation.🔥

Who thought it was a good idea to build a walkway right up to a geyser? And make the escape route narrow?
