I think the Yellowstone DOOOOOOOMMMMM! crowd is missing a golden opportunity. After all, the hotspot has been moving easterly relative to the North American plate[1], so that means it's only a matter of time[2] before Chicago[3] gets nailed by a volcanic eruption.
1. Northeasterly, but it could change direction! 2. Only 230 million years at the current North American plate velocity! 3. Of course there are other cities closer, but who cares about them?
