No. The last time Yellowstone erupted there were no people around to be affected.
An eruption of the Yellowstone caldera occurs it will likely be an extinction level event.
It is impossible to know exactly how much "destruction" occurred in any eruption that has taken place in the Yellowstone Caldera, but the eruption with the largest volume of lava expulsion took place about 1.2 million years ago.
There is no record of the Yellowstone volcano erupting on January 12, 2009. The volcano has not had a major eruption for about 640,000 years, but it does experience minor volcanic activity such as geysers and hot springs.
It didn't. The Yellowstone volcano last erupted about 70,000 years ago. The last super eruption was about 640,000 years ago.
This cannot be predicted. While Yellowstone has produced several eruptions larger than any seen in human history, it has also produced a number of much smaller eruptions.

No. Chances are it would not affect the chances of an eruption.

In most cases, geologists would see signs of an imminent Yellowstone Supervolcano eruption weeks or even months beforehand. A geologist who specializes in volcanos would be a volcanologist, who are more apt to recognize the incoming signals.
Yellowstone's last magma eruption was about 70,000 years ago. The last super eruption was approximately 640,000 years ago.
Mega Disasters - 2006 Yellowstone Eruption - 1.6 was released on: USA: 27 June 2006
The normal surface movement, magnitude, and intensity at Yellowstone National Park varies from about 1.5 to 3.0. These would be barely noticeable by the average person. But the forest rangers and geologists would notice and be aware of any larger movements.
A small eruption would cause the cities 100 miles within the park to be destroyed, with an hour. If the eruption triggers the supervolcano, it can cover two thirds of the United States.

It can't. Although it is an active volcano, below is some information that may help you.Q: How imminent is an eruption of the Yellowstone Volcano?A: There is no evidence that a catastrophic eruption at Yellowstone National Park (YNP) is imminent. Current geologic activity at Yellowstone has remained relatively constant since earth scientists first started monitoring some 30 years ago. Though another caldera-forming eruption is theoretically possible, it is very unlikely to occur in the next thousand or even 10,000 years. Scientists have also found no indication of an imminent smaller eruption of lava.Q: Where would it be safe to be during an eruption?A: For the most likely type of volcanic eruption in Yellowstone, everywhere would be safe except in the immediate vicinity of the advancing lava flow. In the highly improbable event of a large catastrophic eruption, the greater the distance from the eruptive center, the safer it would be. It is impossible to know the effects of the eruption without guessing at the explosivity of the highly unlikely eruption and the total amount of the material erupted.
