cant confirm it, but the footage fox was playing on one of their teasers showed about a 8' hole with lava bubeling up. The main reason i'm still awake, to see if they told where they took that footage from. If it is YS its major... if its footage from some where else its no big deal.
But looks like they are going to chicken out and not play it. I'm going to have to crash before long and get a few hours sleep..

I'm pretty sure that's what went down in that "Documadrama" SUPERVOLCANO

That was stock footage of a different volcano. Theres no magma erupting at Yellowstone, yet. So, you can rest well.

I am with you, I saw it too.
Since yesterday when they were moving the webcam around the area and stopped there...

Interesting.

I was under the impression that as soon as air hit the pressurized magma chamber, game over.

If it gets any more active or any closer together its going to be constant. To make it worse its shaking alot in between.

I just now posted about the new vent.
Hope someone else notices it besdes me and you.

Is it just me or is there no updated feed coming from UofU?
The last info I can retrieve is the end of the last cycle ending at 6 am.
The 6th data is not showing up.
The last data is well over 6 hours old, and usually by 8 am they have archived the previous day and current readings are available.
Today it's 10 am and still no new current info coming from any of the seismographs.
Since HS has told us that nothing is going on at YS, you would think then they would have enough time to keep the readings stream online and current?
No new data for 6 hours?
Is GEE still down?

Good work on the graph. Thanks for laying that out and keeping up with it. Someone suggested a similar name last night, but I think I coined the "Top Secret Geyser" name. Glad you like it.

You know I found that very odd indeed they kept focusing back there on that MASS of eruptions then kept panning over to the stand of trees like they where expecting something to happen there too. But I tried to see if there is a geyser there too and cant seem to find one.

The last one occurred at an even shorter time interval after its preceding one: only 38 minutes later. I wonder if the increase in activity has just started to escalate.

More than likely that lava footage was from some volcano, somewhere else at some point. If YS was at that state, I doubt Fox News would be that close to film it. ;p

The precursors to an eruption are warning enough. It wouldn't just "explode" out of the blue with no warning, as is evident in any volcanic eruption. (Yes, I know it's a super-volcano and a bit extraordinary, but should still follow pattern with all it's "little sisters", if not varying to some degree.) Take Mt. St. Helens, for instance. Began showing signs on March 20th, and didn't blow until May. There will be ash puff first. A very noticeable and very quick bulge. The EQ's would increase in magnitude.

Zones were mapped out for the public, even though scientists back in 1980 couldn't predict when Helens would go, or how large the explosion would actually be.

It´s like a small crater venting all the time. I have no idea if this is usual or if it was there before... But it has their attention... As the cam has focused many times there.

What was I saying earlier....F.x news loves to throw in glamor and glitter over a serious issue, and right there is your proof.



Cheers!!!!

Lol
Good morn all!
Just caught up from 224 to land on
Sageturkey jumping up and down in flames.
Too much.
Shall we have a wetted blanket ready for you?

:@ BOTOH , our baby has a name??
Ohh 'Top Secret Geyser' , nice ring to it!

As to missing Q in Montana it could be, mind you could be
If there is any Large mining company in the area of that event it could be that.
I have run across many that show up and then disappear and the explanation
has been mining, a few instances 1 or 2 road construction- clearing an edge of a mountain of all things to straighten or make a new road way.
NOT saying that that is what happened in Montana. But in other cases they show the blip and then it is gone. Upon inquiry explanation was one of the above.

As for the recent Noggin Bashing I received,
My back ground is Physics, Geology, Paleontology and Archeology.
Not much LIVE feed goes on in those topics!

I am not a novice to Volcanology.
My geek realm is web crawling. I am an excellent researcher.
I am Not a software profficianado.
I rely on RFBurns, TrueAmerican, Maddog and the magnificent Shirakwa for their expertise in Live Feed sites and Graphs.
Kudos to you.

I hate to see when we good people argue
We who have been on this site so very long now
shouldn't get our feathers ruffled so.
Even to those with good intentions to school us.

I will continue to watch, listen to all, pose my questions,and help field those who
come in with major anxiety, pop in with some levity.

There is nothing we can DO about Y.
What we can do is help each other.

Ok, putting MOM back in her box now.
Good morn all.

There are several vents, geysers, and springs there that erupt on various schedules (or no schedule at all). Unless you are extremely familiar with the area, it would be very hard to determine if a feature was new or behaving unusually -especially based on the poor resolution images coming from those cams.

Do you have a fresh pot of coffee going?


Cheers!!!!

Why would it need to deflect at all? It is information - it can be sent to several places simulataneously. I am not understanding this.

Thanks for the info. I agree with you that it is extremely difficult to determine if it is new or not... Who knows?
At the same time, the voice was explaining the temperature close to these vents... I assume that he was trying to say that it is normal to see the area around it without snow... That´s what we were talking about some posts back here on ATS...
