Tracking New Quake Swarm- Just started at Yellowstone

Appears to be a new swarm brewing at YS near B207 again. Will have to wait for UU to catch up in posting them, but they are happening!

See webicorder here:

You can keep refreshing that or go back to the STA/LTA plot here for more days:

I apologize to Yosemite Sam above for being too harsh. I am trying to tone things down a bit.

She's picked back up again in the last few hours:

And UU has started listing the quakes in this new swarm, where I drew the red circle:

They look to be a bit stronger in the past hour. PB207
I'm not a stalwart watcher of Yellowstone seismos, and am not sure of magnitude. Are these around Mag 1.8-2.2? (my uninformed guess )

BTW, nice catch on this latest swarm, TA.

Well there was just a 2.9 near Hebgen Lake, and that could be confusing the issue- cause that's in a different spot than the swarm happening now. And it's in a different spot than the original swarm talked about in the OP at Hebgen, too- slightly south from the original. And probably due to faulting, not magmatic or hydrothermal caused.

2.9:

I don't believe the quakes in the swarm spot itself are increasing in magnitude. The biggest recent ones are about the same mags as the biggest recent ones from yesterday. UU sort of stopped short listing them all, so we will have to wait another day or two to get the full picture when they list more.

And the swarm continues- just getting another coming in now.

You said :" so we will have to wait another day or two to get the full picture.."

That suxs if you have to wait every couple days to get a full picture...by then it might be to late???
