That earthquake was just pulled from the map. Maybe it was just a technical blip, since as you say it didn't register on the webicorders.

Never mind my question. I just recieved email deleting the 3.7 upon review by a seismologist.

yea there are defin a series of small quakes happening right now, its simply amazing how it can be so quiet for a period then start back up again, kinda crazy but interesting, think ill turn gee on

I was just coming in here to comment on the same thing. Looks like a bunch of you check the webicorders, but so far only one on the map.

I'll be watching today.

If you have been following the Quake Watch 2010 thread you know there have been swarms (or at least minor activity) at all of the California volcanic regions this week. Interesting to see things now kicking up at Yellowstone.

Probably totally unrelated but tonight and tomorrow we'll be getting hit by a pretty good geomagnetic storm.

USGS just upgraded that 2.5 to a 2.6

Downloading GEE now...

Dear: Writer

I too have been following the USGS live seismic activity of Yellowstone Park and the Lake in which you speak of for the past six years or so. The activity that seems to be centralized in the lake has become more active in the past few months. It is in my opinion that Yellowstone’s Eruption will be the precursor to the massive Polar Shift of the planet.

I have spoken with several fellow scientists about this location for many years and have followed its activities. According to my friend in the USGS anything within six hundred and fifty miles of the epicenter of the Eruption will be obliterated. The Pyroclastic flow could reach as far as two hundred thirty to two hundred and fifty miles of the park. Everything within one thousand miles of the park would be covered in several feet of ash and debris and be rained on by lysergic acid diethylamide.

The cloud carrying this acid depending on wind currents could carry this debris as far as NY or even Russia. These are a few things to think about before living to close to this Super Massive Caldera.

Good luck with your studies, I hope we are all round for you to use the knowledge.

Sincerely

Well, that was cheerful.

Anyway... they don't update quakes under 2.0 on weekends, huh? So we probably won't see the vast majority of these showing up on the map until after the MLK holiday.

I continue to see little quakes on GEE but probably nothing we'll see plotted on the map. Guess we have to wait for the next weekly update for any actual word on what's happening in the park at large.

While I was busy complaining about that, they posted a third:
