While your YLT station seems to be a little active, the YMR station has more activity right now.

The YMR station is Madison River.

Good catch! I checked the thumbnails shortly after the AK quake, but this swarm hadn't started up yet. Looks to be going on still...rather steady, but very small.

Eager to see where these are located.

Thanks for the heads-up TA!
Haven't been watching the backyard too closely as of late, but maybe I should start paying a little more attention. I saw a post you had made in another thread concerning the 7.7 off the West Coast of Canada in which you mentioned the possibility of it triggering activity here, and my first thought was "Oh no, not again..."

I've read some estimates as to how long it would take for various towns to be incinerated if Yellowstone blows. They say about 8 seconds for mine. No point worrying about an event I will have no time to react to. Wish I could remember where I saw the info.

ANOTHER post about earthquakes in Yellowstone..... no, its not plows, they don't run this time of year.... PEOPLE...... this is what happens all the time around here. And this is why there are sooooooooo many posts like the one I am responding to. If you check the archives you will see posts about seismic activity in Yellowstone ad nauseum (over and over and over until people get sick of it). It's a geologically and seismically and volcanic activity area, hence the geysers, hot springs, boiling mud pots.... and if people checked it out before posting like this, they might find better use of their time. I've lived here for over 30 years. This is in No Way uncommon. This is Life As Usual for our area. Newbies find it interesting, horrifying, get their Chicken Little outfits on and talk about The End...... and life goes on. I don't blame them, I do blame posters that don't bother to find out that they are simply repeating what has been done over and over and over and over and over......... if they lived near a train track, an airport, a highway.... and freaked out everytime something rumbled by.... they need to move or seek help. Minor seismic activity is daily occurrence. Minor swarms, not daily but still very frequent. This is no more NEWS than is the sun amazingly rising every day and the moon changing phases each month. Research before you post, or just copy older posts as this is just another of a long string of the same stuff. The tide comes in, the tide goes out. Seismic activity in Yellowstone? SHOCKING!

You can usually expect other quakes around the regions of the 2 tectonic plates that are rubbing together, that kinda goes hand in hand with giant fissures deep in the ground smashing together, because it's like a ripple effect radiating outwards from the point of origin.

Am I right in thinking that the really big quakes in the last few years, (China, New Zealand, Japan, etc) were all around this time of year and they were each preceded by a 7+M about two weeks before the 'main event'?
If i recall correctly that was one the smoking guns the 'comet-elinin' brigade were citing as portents of doom as they coincided with the apoges of Elinien.

And not to stir the pot or anything arent we about a month away from another close approach?

Yeah and like the last one ,and the one before that, and the one before that..... and the one before that.

Nothing will happen.

A woman I know said recently that she'd like to move to the Yellowstone region. She didn't know about the potential of a superquake, and I didn't tell her (it's a scary thought if you don't yet have it in your personal universe). She's a long way from actually doing it. And I know, even if you live hundreds or thousands of miles away it will get you, but the thought of living right on top of it, naw.

no need to worry about location for this volcano, if it erupts everyone worldwide will be done for as it's well known as a possible extinction level event and the possibility isn't in the magnitude, it's in the likelihood of it erupting.

thanks OP for bringing this to our attention and that's why i love this place, so much information our anemic govt. and MSM will never tell us about.

This is not correct.

Firstly, Yellowstone can erupt with two quite different scenarios.

The first and more likely is a steam event. The lake bottom falls to pieces exposing the entire volume of water in the lake to lava and extreme temperatures and you have an explosion. The effect while catastrophic is localized.

The second is a volcanic eruption. Since Yellowstone is located within the Northern Hemisphere the resultant Volcanic Winter would be largely confined to the Northern Hemisphere.

This event can not be classed as an extinction level event since the Southern hemisphere would largely survive.

Seismic activity is nice, but the true test is the measure of the bulging via GPS... If the bulging is growing then you know there is massive pressure building up... Shakes is a "venting" process... If the bulge stays and keeps growing, then we are in trouble...

OK,..TrueAmerican is the new DragonRider,..... where is WITD when you need him!
