In The Film
The United States suffered extreme damage from the catastrophes of the 2012 apocalypse. The western and southwestern parts of the United States were devastated by massive earthquakes. Soon afterwards, the Yellowstone Caldera erupted in Yellowstone National Park, destroying the entire park. The rest of the continental United States was destroyed by more earthquakes and the Yellowstone ash cloud while the country's eastern seaboards were wiped out by mega-tsunamis. Hawaii was also obliterated by the eruptions from its volcanoes. The state of Wisconsin was later made as the new South Pole when the Earth had changed its magnetic positions. Due to the mega tsunami that hit, the country was underwater for an unknown amount of time, which killed millions.
