Highly unlikely it will happen in 2020 But it will happen sooner or later barring Giant Meteor.....

A chunk of Yellowstone the size of Chicago has been pulsing. Why?
An injection of magma under Norris Geyser Basin may be why the region is five inches higher today than it was 20 years ago.

I thought this was a well-played April Fool's joke, but but turns out it's real.

I didn't believe it when I first saw it either. Turns out this is the second biggest earth quake recorded in that area. The biggest was in 1983 @ 6.9. That time apparently I guy that took regular trips to a local hot spring, died because the water in the spring became super heated.

This woman comes across as really folksy. But she sure knows a lot of details about the Yellowstone Caldera
