NOVEMBER 8, 2016
It was a beautiful day in Yellowstone National Park. Even though it was election day, there were still loads of tourists. Just like any other day at the nation's most famous park. Due to the thousands upon thousands of geysers, the rumblings coming from the ground weren't that out of place. So, the tourists were shocked when animals burst into the viewing areas with crazed looks in their eyes. An hour later, Animal Control had arrived from Caspar, and the tourists were hiding out in their hotels.

Suddenly, the ground started jolting violently. Thousands of tourists died instantly when they were crushed by several hundred tons of building material. Then, the real show began, as the long dormant Yellowstone supervolcano began erupting, spewing massive amounts of ash across hundreds  of square miles. All of Yellowstone National Park collapsed into a massive caldera, killing everyone within it.



Election day was a mere afterthought now. What will happen next?

(Note, I will be doing an election scenario following this background)

Announcer: Hello, viewers, and welcome to our 2016 election coverage out of New York City! As you all know, this election has been closely contested, and I bet most of us will be glad to see the back of it. Anyway, it's about 5:55 EST and polls will be closing in parts of Indiana and Kentu-

-BOOM-

Announcer: Hello viewers. We have just found out the origin of the massive -BOOM- you heard earlier. Apparently, the Yellowstone Supervolcano has indeed erupted. Satillites in orbit around Earth captured several images of black ash spewing out of Yellowstone Park. The ash appears to be  moving south-southeast, a bad sign for residents of Wyoming and Colorado, among others. If you live in Wyoming and Colorado, it would be wise to begin evacuating. If you live in Idaho, Montana, or Utah, you should also pack up and get moving. We believe the ash is travelling at about 20 mph, so time is limited.

Additionally, it may be a good idea to use side roads as the Interstates in the regions are likely packed. Also, it remains illegal to drive on the opposite side of the road, and anyone who does so will be persecuted.

Though it is completely irrelevant at the moment, we have results from Indiana and Kentucky, and both have been called for Donald Trump.

Announcer: Okay, we just got some orders from FEMA. FEMA has ordered all citizens living EAST of Yellowstone National Park, SOUTH of Interstate 90 and WEST of the Mississippi River to evacuate, as the prevailing winds are blowing east and will thus send most of the ash that way. All regions WEST of Yellowstone National Park, NORTH of Interstate 80, and EAST of the California-Nevada border or the Cascade Ranges have been ordered to evacuate to coastal California, Oregon, and Washington.

If you are unable to evacuate, stock as much food as possible before the ash arrives in your commune. Seal all cracks in your house. FEMA will attempt to help you.

We just got a tweet from Donald Trump.

No, Donald Trump, the Yellowstone eruption actually happened.

Anyway, the ash cloud is roughly half an hour from Caspar as we speak, so if you live there you'd better hunker down.

Announcer: It is now 7:05 PM EST, which means normally we will have some election results to share. However, today is anything but normal. According to on-the-ground observations, the ash cloud is bearing down on Caspar and will arrive in about 6 hours, not 30 minutes. We apologize to our viewers for this massive error.

A pyroclastic flow that is actually outpacing the ash cloud is slamming into regions around Yellowstone. Thankfully, the area is fairly unpopulated, but everyone within 30 miles of Yellowstone is likely dead.

Well, we have some election results. Vermont has been called for Clinton, South Carolina for Trump. But no one's heart is in the election tonight.

An interesting timeline but the only issue i have with it is Yellowstone wouldn't just erupt suddenly. Volcanos even ones like Yellowstone give amble warning they are going to explode.

Yeah probably, but it's more fun if it just goes off without warning Wink

Announcer: It is now 7:35 PM EST, and we have some state calls to make. West Virginia has been called for Trump. In more important news, FEMA has set up a live satellite feed of the Yellowstone ash cloud. You can find it by searching on Google, but it appears to have crashed five minutes ago. A distressing piece of news now. We have estimated over 100,000 people have died in the eruption, and more will certainly come as the cloud spreads across the USA. FEMA is currently setting up refugee camps in the Atlantic states, like Georgia and Florida.
