At least 2 dead, 11 injured after 6.4 earthquake in Northern California

We're roughly 200 miles from Seattle; when they had their last "biggish" one, in 2001, a 6.8 I think, nothing damaging but we definitely felt it 'shake' here.
More scary than the big earthquakes, though, when that Yellowstone Caldera goes off, it's gotta wipe out a big bunch of the Northwest.

"If the supervolcano underneath Yellowstone National Park ever had another massive eruption, it could spew ash for thousands of miles across the United States, damaging buildings, smothering crops, and shutting down power plants. It'd be a huge disaster.

..........But that doesn't mean we should all start freaking out. "

Hopefully it'll stay dormant for another few thousand years.
