Now we all know that the Moon has an affect on the Earth's crust, and the inhabitants of the Earth's surface also. Many aspects are required to be taken into consideration when forming opinions about its affects. Apogee, perogee. Furthest from the Sun and closest to the Sun. The position of the Earth, the Moon, in relation to each other and in relation to the Sun.
The dynamics occuring at Yellowstone can be affected by the varying influence of Lunar forces.
I would like Ravenlogic to tell all of us how he has come to the determination that attempting to study the forces and make a perediction in a forum such as this is Lunacy. It is simply doing some research and sticking your neck out to bring forward some interesting things to think about. Something real scientists cannot do. Lets hear some reasearch that refutes any tidal force effects on Yellowstone can occur.

If there is still a moderator in this thread, Ravenlogic should be sanctioned for the blatant personal attacks that continue to take away from this thread. Is any Moderator out there? Maybe Ravenlogic has been affected by the full Moon and just can't help himself. (Is that what the term "Lunacy" means?)

In that National Geo article did they cite the experts filling out this thread? The first caption of the article cites the PLUMB concept. Wow. Definitely a vast conspiracy eh? I noticed at the end of the article the Christiensen guy described how the magma chamber is now below thicker crust of the Rockies which would in his opinion make it less likely to behave as it had to the West. That kind of thinking really neuters the hysteria/government is covering up of important eruption facts BS common through the 500 agonizing chunks of this thread. It's not the government it's mother nature deserving scrutiny. How could she destroy my perfect colassal-mega-disaster scneario that I've invested so much time in? How? Well, I still hope it erupts tomorrow burying all of the miserable red states in 80 feet of ash.

There was an interesting short term dip in the water table recently. Does the water sometimes find a crack to drain into?

YMR is wild last houres.... wonder if there comes an heavy one...

Just a small update Folks:

The latest version of QuakeData is available on my download site. No real changes, just a couple of very minor bug fixes. It is still free! The file is QuakeData.zip

I have also uploaded the latest Compact version data with data right up to date. This is called QDCData.zip

In addition the data right up to date for SQL server can also be found in the folder SQL Server Stuff, and the file is called QuakeData_SQLServerBackupFile.zip

Link to my site is in my signature.

Other than there is a super volcano underneath, should make some folks think all the way from California on up. This is the one I was told about in my dream state that scientists are worried about. A chain reaction.

Probably from San Andreas up to Yellowstone.

going back a few yrs on the charts, there is 0 activity. in and around yellowstone. the only activity in the continental u.s. is california.
so i would say, there has definetly been a change.
also someone about a yr ago was worried that it was coming to life.
someone who worked the park. i remember one geologist said, "you can think of little quakes around yellowstone, to be the scariest little quakes
on earth".

a big swarm in indonesia now... same place as the tsunami some years ago.. creepy...toba nearby,,,
