Fortunately for me, here in Ohio, I'm far enough away that I'll be able to say, "What was that?"

Heh. I'm all the way out in Connecticut. Thing blows, I'll have enough time to paint a sign that says "help", like Wile E. Coyote plunging off a cliff.
Eon, you forget about the prevailing wings. If this thing blows the resulting dust cloud will be in the stratosphere. You are in the fallout zone.

I know, I was being facetious. In fact, allowing for prevailing high-altitude winds, the plume from that bugger going off would probably extend most of the way to Greenland.
However, unlike nuclear weapons, no treaty will ever get rid of this particular WMD. And, unfortunately, it wouldn't necessarily inhibit it from future eruptions, as we have seen with Mt. St. Helens and Anat Krakatau.
In any game of geological poker, the Earth always has five aces. And a derringer up its sleeve, to boot.
