New Earthquake Swarm at Yellowstone- October 14, 2009, page 1

Yep, confirmed on the webicorders as well:

www.quake.utah.edu...

there's lkwy.

Hmm, I wonder if this could be the start of another swarm. They are still coming in on GEE, and I've got 6 stations in the park up.

I'm widening monitoring to 9 stations, and all broadband channels.

Lately there have been many quakes in Emery Utah.
As well as other "diverse places".
Remember the wells, nevada earthquake not too long ago?

Not sure why unless its that tunnel boring machine again
digging tunnels for the elite and the military!
Kidding, (I hope)!

I receive email notifications from the usgs.
I tell ya there are some weird stuff and thingy's going on lately!

hey layton. hubby was stationed at hill for 10 years. made some good friends while we were there. i liked the dry climate. didn't like the lack of wildlife. liked the prices. didn't like the winters. brrr. liked the scenery in the mountains. didn't like the valley. thought the salt flats were weiiiird. thought SLC was the cleanest city (for its size) i've ever seen. in that ten years, we never experienced even one earthquake. if yellowstone pops, you will need a cave to get away from the ash and head due south quick. cause it'll get way too cold in utah

GEE, thanks Nik!
I thought I was the only one with an active imagination!
Oz man got us all calmed down and then you post that!

Maybe the webbot means october of 3022!
Ya, that sound alot better!

Although the chances of it blowing are extremely small,
there is always that chance, unfortunately.

Also weird are the quakes in western montana lately!

The smooth constant seismic activity is representative of Magma on the move; it is that simple.

Yellowstone does have a large caldera underneath it, and the magma does move a lot. The question is will the activity continue; should it continue then it is something to keep an eye on at the very least.

The entire Northwest, and Inland Northwest have large areas of volcanic zones. The cascade mountains in Washington State, and Oregon of course have multiple active volcanoes. I know this line of volcanoes continues down into California where I believe there are two super volcanoes.

It seems like the volcanic activity, or hot zones are picked back up in Eastern Washington with Mt. Spokane, skips over North Idaho, and then another hot zone picks up in the Hot Springs, Montana area. I believe this latter connects with the Yellowstone area, but am not sure.

There are theories out that Yellowstone actually blows out, rather than up. Which the Palouse, or prairie of Washington state would appear to attest to; as there are massive volcanic basalt flows from eras of the past.

I would have to disagree with OZ when he recklessly tells People not to worry. I know Australia is a long way from the Northwest, and he probably could tell everyone about Australia, but the Northwest is an entirely different critter all together.

You are nearly 300 miles from YS, Mike. At that distance, in that region of the country, it will take at least a 4.0 and probably more like a 5 or 5.5+ magnitude before you will really feel it.
