Has anyone else noticed that Matt Drudge, of the Drudge Report, is obsessed with an eruption of the long-quiet Yellowstone volcano/caldera? I've made no formal study but subjectively it seems he mentions it at least once a month, on average. He mentions it today.
So, month after month Drudge warns us "the big one" is coming at Yellowstone and month after month nothing out of the ordinary happens. Lots of little quakes occur essentially daily, which is absolutely normal for a geologically unsettled area like the 'Stone.
Will Yellowstone eventually erupt again? Probably, some time in the next 10,000 years. Geologically, that is practically nothing. In human terms, it is 100 very long lifetimes or 500 generations, way more than all of recorded human history to date..
Chances are you have ignored his frequent sky-is-falling posts on Yellowstone. I notice them since my place of residence is within a couple of hundred miles thereof, definitely within the blast zone.
I'm not worried, you shouldn't be either. The odds of "the big one at Yellowstone" happening in your lifetime, or mine, are greater than zero but vanishingly small.
