An underground hydrothermal explosion at Yellowstone National Park sent visitors running for their lives Tuesday morning as a massive black mushroom cloud of steam and debris rose hundreds of feet in the air.

The eruption was in the national park’s Biscuit Basin area, originating near Black Diamond Pool, located about 2.1 miles northwest of Old Faithful.

While officials have said the hydrothermal explosion in Yellowstone earlier this month isn't a warning sign of impending doom, it's hard not to wonder what a 'supereruption' could look like.

If Yellowstone’s volcanic system erupted, how could it impact the US?

Shortly before 3 AM, people in the Chicago area may have felt their houses shake as a 3.4-magnitude earthquake occurred about 60 miles west of the city. (CHICAGO) The United States Geological Survey (USGS) reported a 3.4-magnitude earthquake around Somonauk, IL. Somonauk is in DeKalb and LaSalle Counties, 64 miles west of Chicago.

That's what you pay for, am I right?

Let's be real... nobody really lives near Yellowstone National Park. If you're there, you probably drove a long way, maybe even took a plane, and you're hoping to see some cool stuff. Maybe a grizzly bear attacking a bison, maybe a pack of wolves on the hunt, or perhaps... a geyser exploding right in front of your face.

Park visitors this morning got treated to some Grade A hydrothermal activity in the form of a massive explosion near Sapphire Pool in Biscuit Basin, located just north of Old Faithful.

Luckily nobody was injured, but the explosion did close that section of the park until officials can confirm the area is safe.

"Biscuit Basin, including the parking lot and boardwalks, are temporarily closed for safety reasons. The Grand Loop Road remains open. 

No other monitoring data show changes in the Yellowstone region. Today’s explosion does not reflect a change in the volcanic system, which remains at normal background levels of activity. 

This is an evolving incident, and additional details will be shared as more facts are known."

Never a dull moment in Yellowstone National Park.

Or Yellowstone the show, but that's another story...

Spanning across Wyoming, Montana and into Idaho, Yellowstone National Park is home to some of the most incredible wildlife you'll find anywhere in the United States. We're talking bears, wolves, elk, deer, bison, pronghorn, as well as a ton of fish, birds, and reptiles.

Established in 1872, it's the first national park in the United States and widely accepted as the first national park in the world. Some will argue however that Bogd Khan Uul National Park in Mongolia is the oldest. Oldest or not, if it's not on...

The unthinkable has happened. Again. A gunman has taken multiple lives. The difference this time? It happened here, in Alameda. We are an island, both physically and psychologically. I spend a lot of time explaining to people that our focus is Alameda, and Alameda alone, so our coverage doesn’t usually include stories as horrific as this one.

It Happened Again. Here.

Every year, millions and millions of people visit Yellowstone National Park, but not everybody gets a show like this. Captured by Yellowstone Adam Brubaker of Tied to Nature, the video picks up in the Hayden Valley area of Yellowstone with a couple of wolves from Wapiti Lake Pack and a curious grizzly bear. You’d think that a bear would want to run away when he’s outnumbered by a few wolves, but nope, this fella charges forward to get a better look.

A dangerous drug that is being mixed into fentanyl is causing those who inject it to develop a rash of sores that resembles a case of flesh-eating bacteria. People experiencing homelessness around Denver can sometimes be seen with these bloody, weeping wounds. I recently mentioned this phenomenon to a fentanyl user who told me about the xylazine connection.
