Whats going on at yellowstone?

Driving east? Not a good idea as the prodominate winds all go that way.

Florida affected? read the info or do some research If Yellowstone goes we all go.

Just some blips in the earths crust. This is normal. Just take a look at USGS and see the Cali and Alaska coasts. If they stop having quakes then be concerned.

you have heard of a super eruption before right? Yellowstone is gonna go off, we just dont know. There will be MASSIVE destruction to the planet. Youtube super volcano youll see what i mean.

Hi Neighbor... I'm down a bit on the Monterey Bay and this morning the birds did not sing until 2 hours after the normal time.. I, too, noticed last night how calm it was. I even got out my 'bag' in case it was time to 'survive', but so far this morning all is well !!

MAP 2.6 2008/12/28 18:35:04 39.352 -123.615 4.0 NORTHERN CALIFORNIA

can somebody explain to me why the clock says 18:35:04? when it's only 10:49 am here in san francisco and this is UTC right - not 8 hours ahead of PST

am I missing something? is someone typing this in - shouldn't it be automized - is it tampered with? of course this a conspiracy site - lets go with that

Scientist seem to be going back to the theory of a volcanic eruption killing off the Dinosaurs,
feww.wordpress.com...


volcanism more likely caused K-T extinction; not asteroid impact

the gods are angry

I think that some here are giving in to the fear monster a bit. Yes Yellowstone is a supervolcano and yes it is seismically active, and yes it could erupt but just a few minutes of reading can help us understand that there are many telltales leading up to an eruption.





So earthquakes are happening here but they are diagnosed closely by vulcanolgists as would a doctor closely monitor a patients symptoms in order to clarify exactly what is happening inside a patient.

If you take a look at the wiki on Prediction of volcanic activity you will get a better understanding of what happens and how seismologists and vulcanologists monitor the changes underground in order to predict volcanic eruptions.

The above paragraph I quoted is from this wiki Is there reason to worry? Of course, but not yet I think. Be prepared is the only advice I can see that would be a sound course of action.

There are many signs that can precede an eruption and I don't think that this swarm should be cause for concern, yet. Fascinating to see and understand our Planet is alive and deadly.

Krakatoa is another volcanic eruption to take a better look at, as well as Mt.StHelens. I took the wife and kids to see Helens 2 yrs ago and it is just freakin crazy the amount of energy released in one instant, they had a really nice museum on johnston ridge right across from the volcano and a great presentation that showed what led up to the eruption.

Most telling was not only the seismic swarms but the intense Ground Swelling that took place. Something like 5 to 6 feet in a relatively short period of time.

Be prepared. Make sure if you live near that beast you have a plan, but don't go running around saying the sky is falling yet. I would bet the USGS keeps a close tabs on it.

Any guess here would most assuredly go beyond my knowledge of the way these things work, but I suspect you won't be needing to stock up on sunscreen.

Peace

Small quakes are debated as being good or not at relieving stress for a larger earthquake. This is mainly because how much an earthquake scales in power for each step up the scale. Those small grinds of the plates could be what releases the tension or it could be what causes a bigger slip and a larger earthquake.

Either way I wouldn't lose sleep. Just try and be prepared for what ever you can and when something happens you have done all that you could.

You can read all the literature you want to on super-volcanoes, the bad news is... all that you read is THEORY.

Man has never experienced a super-volcano, so we have no idea what would be the symptoms if it was going to happen. So if conjecture and theory makes you feel better, more power to you.

I say we just watch the area, and see what happens (hopefully nothing).

Still waiting for some seismology friends to get back to me with further readings of the area.

this is very strange see all the volcanic activity going on

hisz.rsoe.hu...

Yellowstone is on top of a super volcano and a massive magma bubble. You might want to get used to this there. Changes and seismic activity will not change, and will increase until it blows completely, tomorrow or in a thousand years. We cannot actually know.

In my opinion we are going to see much more radical increases in surface temperature, surface elevation rises and seismic activity before the danger is highest.

Of course the final eventual massive eruption taking out a major portion of a couple states and darkening sky and depositing smothering gasses and ash for millions of square mules in sometimes 10-20 feet high fall could happen tomorrow too.

Please walk calmly to the exit and away from the danger.

I also saw a documentary on this Yellowstone Caldera, put it this way if this thing goes up we won´t have to worry about the economy anymore.

Heres a vid I found

I don't know if that is an unusually long list of "active volcanos"

but this is a great site - thanks for the link!

Hi blujay - glad to hear you noticed it too -

...and this one just hit as well. I have noticed certain quakes rising in mag over the course of the day - more often as well - off coast of Oregon did this not long ago.

Just now:

Another one @ 2.6

2.6 2008/12/28 12:32:15 44.511N 110.352W 0.3 62 km (39 mi) ESE

another 2.6 just occurred same exact spot right under Yellowstone lake, at .3 depth. Clearly something is agitated in a very concentrated spot under the lake.

First- it would depend on the prevailing wind. That would determine where the first bit of ash and debris went. But soon, it would spread throughout our atmosphere and block out the suns warming rays. Our planets temp would drop dramatically and we would be in for a dark future. It would be a planet wide problem, not just the US.

If the sizes of those quakes start to jump to above 5 and keep steady with how it has been the past 30 hours... we should worry.

For now, hopefully its just a bit of "holiday gas".
