yes because it is an active volcano http://www.infowars.com/articles/science/supervolcano_nightmare.htm
A Supervolcanic eruption can be catastrophic to entire regions both climatically and geologically. Individual volcanoes are typically described as being either active (currently erupting), dormant (not currently active) or extinct (not expected to ever erupt again).
Some of the most famous volcanic eruptions around the world include the Yellowstone Caldera in Yellowstone National Park, Lake Toba in Sumatra, Indonesia, and the devastating eruption of Mt. St. Helens in southwest Washington State in 1980.

Mt. Saint Helens was a pinprick compared to Toba, whose eruption nearly destroyed our species. Only a couple of thousand people probably survived worldwide during that event, and all of us are their descendants. Yellowstone could be just as bad.
