As I posted on Les' blog, I also used the Yellowstone Caldera, along with a comet strike and the awakening of ALL of the Ring of Fire, to depopulate the Earth and run everyone else off.

Other than events like Pompeii/Herculaneum, Krakatoa  and the "Devine Wind" that allegedly saved Japan from Chinese invasion, natural disasters have a tendency of being a locally remembered event, or as a foot-note in world history. If an event has a world historical effect, it is usually derivative; the "kamikaze," or the decimation of the Spanish Armada by storm, or the short-term global cooling after Krakatoa.

ObTrav: what prevents the physics phenomenon of "tunneling" from occurring more frequently? Think of the chaos such an event would cause (muahahahahaha!)

BTW, doesn't Les' flag look nice? Kinda like the "Bonny Blue Flag" ....
