I'm not sure if it can upset Yellowstone, a big enough quake probably could. But California has it's own much closer supervolcano. If it was going to upset a supervolcano my guess would be on the Long Valley Caldera rather than Yellowstone but who knows.

Yeah Usgs reporting a 4.8

I lived in CA for 10 years, that one on the needle was a l o n g one. Looked sizable too. Man, I'd be really nervous if I was out there. Brawley also has a massive prison complex on the north side of town. I'd not want to be in that town if things went really south there.

A 4.7 earthquake just went off... I even seen the seismographs go off. It was cool.... heres a link to watch it. abclocal.go.com...

Oh okay, just wondering. Thanks for the info!

just checked earthquake 3d. here's a screenshot - looks to be a lot of activity in that area.

A new 3.8 just now...... WOW. there has been lots of earthquakes.

Update 23:42 UTC : - New M4.7 aftershock, one more of an impressive number of aftershocks - Some trailers are simply being knocked off from their foundations

From...
earthquake-report.com...

I know I keep saying this but wow!

It's amazing to watch this unfold, I have mixed emotions but I will also keep saying I'm hopeful this is nothing but after shocks that will last a couple of days and be nothing but a memory.

I live in Indio Ca, and I have felt nothing. very strange.

They are all very shallow - far more vicious than deeper ones! Even 4's are scary when they're shallow and close - I've not surprised there is some damage happening.
