Boy I sure feel better, I'm just out of the "potential range of the total destruction" down at the bottom of the page <g>.
<shrug>
Then again after my first winter in the upper mid-west I realized that a 'real' winter is a regularly scheduled natural disaster....

that is nothing in geological time, but yes, the plates did shift. Part of the

it would still be over the caldera.
