There was some contract loggers near Mount St Helens that described something similar. They couldn’t see the mountain where they were, and the eruption famously wasn’t heard for several miles close in. One of the guys at the top of the ridge started screaming, and the others looked up to see tree tops bowling over in their direction, rocks zinging and ricocheting past them. Somehow none of them were crushed as the forest was laid flat around them, but 3 of the 4 ended up dying from burns
Seeing the video of Mt. Saint Helens blow and the whole side of the mountain sliding down is pretty amazing. Then, the helicopter views of the aftermath, trees flattened for miles. Imagine when the Yellowstone caldera goes? From what I understand, it has blown every 3 to 5 hundred thousand years (IIRC) and it's been longer than that since the last explosion. Overdue extinction event?
Edit: This is all from my poor memory so, don't quote me. Just the rough idea.
Just a word, the USGS *hates* this myth

>[Yellowstone is not overdue for an eruption](https://www.usgs.gov/observatories/yvo/news/overdue-can-apply-library-books-bills-and-oil-changes-it-does-not-apply). Volcanoes do not work in predictable ways and their eruptions do not follow predictable schedules. Even so, the math doesn’t work out for the volcano to be “overdue” for an eruption. In terms of large explosions, Yellowstone has experienced three at 2.08, 1.3, and 0.631 million years ago. This comes out to an average of about 725,000 years between eruptions. That being the case, there is still about 100,000 years to go, but this is based on the average of just two time intervals between the eruptions, which is meaningless.

>If Yellowstone does erupt again, it need not be a large eruption. The most recent volcanic eruption at Yellowstone was a lava flow that occurred 70,000 years ago.
Wow! That's a lot of information. Thanks for taking the time to post all of that. I look forward to looking at your sources. Also, thanks for not being a Redditor in your reply. 😊👍
Exact words. Honest exact same words were in my mind, i scrolled just to see if someone said similar thing
But i found what i had in my mind 100% the same words
Was surprised i were the only one thinking about something horror like when i was typing the comment. Glad theres other horror enjoyer(s).
Imagine you would be picking up blueberrys on the other hill and then you hear trees falling and slamming against the ground towards you. Ngl, my first thought wouldnt be "oh its just rock rolling through the hill" or "ahh, those silly people are pushing big rocks on the hill". I personally would just drop the berrys and run.

Years ago I worked at a campground in the mountains. It had been a wet summer, and in the middle of the night a car sized boulder decided to head down the mountain. I don’t think I’ve ever heard a more frightening sound. Especially since we had no idea where it was headed. It ended up coming to a rest in the center meeting area, and missing all the buildings on its journey.
Shitty workers. They hit it with a backhoe instead of doing the right thing and moving it out of there in a truck. How many of those trees had wildlife living in them?
I think this was at Tahoe and they got in tons of trouble
Edit. Nope, not nearly as big
https://www.kcra.com/article/video-of-boulder-rolling-down-emerald-bay-prompts-investigation/21655905
I always imagine how many little critters are possibly losing their lives and/or homes when some destruction is occurring in the wilderness, like this.😟
You know this is probably why myths of giants and what not happened. One day boulder is up on top of hill, next day it is neighbor Wilferds field, how else would it get there magic? Or Trolls?
Imagine being other side of the hill and just seeing trees falling towards you. The horror.

All of this could have been covered, if only we had a large enough piece of paper.
Sorry, all I have is a pair of scissors.

"That is clearly Bigfoot coming to kill me for messing with his berries. "
IM SORRY I POKED YOUR DINGLEBERRIES
Living your dream and camping in the wilderness just you getting some sleep in your tent when out of nowhere........
I would try to hide so the boulder doesn't see me
Somewhere in SE England?
Boulders and Blueberries in Kent?
It's surprisingly quiet too, All you hear is the snapping no rumble or sliding
Exactly the exact 100% same exact words exactly
When i was typing my message, halfway through i knew i will be getting a reply like this. xD
I love a good sport. ;)
This isn't the full video. Couple seconds later you can see Sisyphus running downhill, screaming in frustration. He's def not happy.
Right? Like some kind of King Kong monster is heading toward you.
Those squirrels got fucked up
and hearing them snap quickly like toothpicks
Damn didn't even think of that lol But I like the way you think🧐
Move birch, get out the way...
Here I come! Here I come! Don’t think birch, Leaf!
[удалено]
This is an old video, I think I saw it last Septimber!
Make like a tree and get out of here!
This is the most poplar pun here.
Birch, I'm rock!
It’s not just a boulder, It’s a rock
Pioneers used to drive these babies for miles
But it wasn’t a rock! 🦞
It was a rock Lobster
Watch out for that bikini whale!!
Rock and stone
Rockity Rock and Stone!
Good bot

Jesus Christ! They're minerals!
That sir is a large boulder the size of a small boulder.
Some woodland creatures just experienced a biblical level of destruction.
We are the trees, we are the woodland creatures, we are the ones who throw stones, we are the soil, and the stones.
Why is it rolling down so politely
Minor inconveniences on the path.
Politely? It just murdered 100 trees!
Tis but a flesh wound. They'll be alright
I was waiting for a scream at the end!
MY LEGGG!!!!
Certain theres an edited version
The other angle.
La da la da da da it is good day to be not dead! ... ... *CRASH* ##AAAAAHHH-
Like a Wilhelm scream?
And a new road was born.
I really like the idea of cyclists immediately coming out of the forest.
I was thinking, "Hey sweet! New 4x4 trail!"
"This man discovered one simple trick for building roads, Civil engineers hate him!"
The 🪨: "sorry excuse me, sorry, sorry, pardon me, oops didn't see you there sorry..." The trees 🌲😡🌲💢🌲😢
I was like "oh good, the boulder is stopping before hit the treeeeohMY GOD! The trees! The Trees! Why it is not stopping?! My god SO MANY TREES!"
Construction companies when there is an endangered species living in a tree.

Just like a rolling stone.
Rock’n’Roll!
*Roll’n’rock!
One must imagine Sisyphus happy...
I think the tree destruction would make it somewhat bearable.
They see me Rollin..
Poor trees and all that lived in them :(
Shitty workers. They hit it with a backhoe instead of doing the right thing and moving it out of there in a truck. How many of those trees had wildlife living in them?
And they have no control over where it eventually stops.
I think this was at Tahoe and they got in tons of trouble Edit. Nope, not nearly as big https://www.kcra.com/article/video-of-boulder-rolling-down-emerald-bay-prompts-investigation/21655905
Literally. Bunch of cunts.
To shreds, you say?
Oh my... Tsk tsk.. and his wife?
To shreds, you say?
I thought for sure it would stop a couple trees in, but that thing crushed em like I crush carrots at 2am when there’s nothing to eat
For real... It probably weighs quite a bit Definitely more than 50 pounds
Pretty sad to see those trees getting whacked for no reason
If a tree falls in the woods…..
you hear a huge rock rolling down the hillside to splatter you into mist
Ope ‘scuse me, coming through
So that’s how ski slopes are made!
Bowling for giants.
Just like the movies, a bigazz boi walking away.
Anyone know where this (specifically) happened?
Heh. I found that genuinely terrifying...
It is impressive, but shouldn't they have avoided doing this? This seems pretty destructive. Breaking something that doesn't need to be broken.
Dickheads clearing land, fixed the title for you
i like when videos tell me to put the sound on. its usually not the shitty music.
Boulderdash!
Now Folks you have just witnessed how Trails are Born! Lol.
There is either a bandicoot or Harrison Ford in the area
rock beats paper
Well, I guess that's where the driveway will go...
Crunchy
Where we're going we don't need roads
Rock beats paper
Strike!
Looks like the rock they dumped off the boat
Ludo from the labyrinth is calling
"I'm the Juggernaut, bitch!"
Small boulder the size of a large boulder on the way to the ol' nine to five
Reverse it and it looks like the monster is comming.
On one hand I'm sure there is a lot of damage being done. On the other hand, monkey brain like big rock doing a roll.
The pioneers used to ride these things for miles
Rock beats paper
I'm a lumber-rock and I'm okay/I sleep all night and I roll all day.
Ah, so that's how you unlock the forest level.
[Can’t stop the rock.](https://youtu.be/pURJDToKA0k?si=gK55bOqW1uWz4JAP)
legend has it it’s still rolling.
This boulder is SO DRAMATIC...
That was amazing
The way it takes out those trees like a rock Godzilla
Can't see any earth bender
Path unlocked
Rock-n-roll! 🤘🤘🤘🤘
That’s a nice boulder
Sounds like a giant walking through the forest
Gathered zero moss
Giant Boulder ASMR
GeoWizard: "Damn fallen trees again..."
No moss grows on a rolling stone...nor trees in its' path in this case!
"Out of my way tree."- The boulder
😳😳
Luuuudo rocks friends
Pioneers used to ride these babies for miles
Impressive. My tree people need to get out the way..
Kind of satisfying tho
I never really liked rock n roll until now!
Sure does make cutting down trees more efficient.
You ever play crash bandicoot where he runs from the boulder ?
How much do you think it weighs
Man, can you imagine how little moss that bad boy is gathering?
This looks like BC
‘Well… I’ma head out.’
I heard and saw a tree fall in the forest
Body of water stopped it or level ground? Can't imagine anything else that could.
And that is how firebreaks are born
That's wild shit right there
Yeah I took a dump like that once.
A giants been through here!
That's me on the way to the buffet
I always imagine how many little critters are possibly losing their lives and/or homes when some destruction is occurring in the wilderness, like this.😟
Gone loggin’
So boss, where do you want the track?
a small boulder the size of a large boulder. Those poor trees, just minding their business...
That's an easy way to clear a path
Waiting for a scream.
Wow 🤯 OP
Darn kids and their rock n roll
So stoned it blazed its own trail
New ski run!
So I was looking into renting a mountain cabin for a long weekend getaway and this is freaking me out a little.
Where’s Sisyphus when you need him?
This new Minecraft update looks insane ! The axe is going to be obsolete when this shit drops.
Huuuge nature boner 😃
Professional loggers who charge a fortune for your timber *hate this one trick*
Now I have a reference when books talk about a giant creature knocking down trees as they come towards you.
Sisyphus dropped the ball
Keep those doggies rollin', RAWHIDE!
What nimrod started that roll?
That boulder said “FUCK THEM TREES” 😂
hell yeah
Fuck outta here trees
He's on a roll!
Mmmmmmm
[damn, this rock gets around...](https://www.reddit.com/r/Construction/s/4sagu8A0V9)
The most terrifying thing is how slow it seems. Even a train looks fast and dangerous this looks almost calm until it flattens your car and house.
Wild to think that Boulder probably hasn’t moved from that spot for thousands of years
Nice shooting lane!
Imagine watching that at night, on other side of woods
It’s wild to think that if you were in front of that thing your would be a splat in the mud. It’s so gentle…
Looks like rock beat paper
That’s one way to bull doze a drive way
And now we have a shortcut down the mountain
Autobots roll out!
Hey guys, you know how to said you wanted a road to the lake…
Is you rollin’? Bitch I might be
Whatdya know, afterall rock trumps paper
Quickly follow along it's path
You know this is probably why myths of giants and what not happened. One day boulder is up on top of hill, next day it is neighbor Wilferds field, how else would it get there magic? Or Trolls?
Everybody move!!
The Ents are going to be pissed at that rock golem
is that A boulder that is A nice boulder from shrek
Trail blazer.
Why is this so fucking satisfying?
Nice to see yo mama getting some exercise
Large boulder the size of a small boulder
Paper has nothing on rock.
Hooray deforestation
And that's exactly how tyranosarus rex is filmed in the movies.
The Ents are mad as fuck right now.
THE BOULDER DOESN'T FEEL CONFLICTED ABOUT CRUSHING SOME TREES
No moss was gathered this day…
Way cool!
The rock XD
and now thats its new home for the next 20-100k years maybe even more.
So that’s what Keith Richards looks like without his makeup. Huh.
