Strongest earthquake of 4.4 magnitude hit on Thursday 15 June This could be a warning sign of an impending eruption of the supervolcano If it did erupt, it would be one thousand times as powerful as Mount St Helens

Yellowstone commonly experiences “earthquake swarms”—a series of earthquakes over a short period of time in a localized area.
The largest swarm occurred in 1985, with more than 3,000 earthquakes recorded during three months on the northwest side of the park.
Hundreds of quakes were recorded during swarms in 2009 (near Lake Village) and 2010 (between Old Faithful area and West Yellowstone). Scientists interpret these swarms as due to shifting and changing pressures in the Earth’s crust that are caused by migration of hydrothermal fluids, a natural occurrence of volcanoes. Earthquakes help us to map and to understand the sub-surface geology around and beneath Yellowstone. The energy from earthquakes travels through hard and molten rock at different rates. Scientists can “see” the subsurface and make images of the magma chamber and the caldera by “reading” the seismic waves emitted during earthquakes. An extensive geological monitoring system is in place to aid in that interpretation.
On March 30, 2014 at 6:34 am Mountain Daylight Time, an earthquake of magnitude 4.8 occurred four miles north-northeast of Norris Geyser Basin. The M4.8 earthquake was reported felt in Yellowstone National Park, in the towns of Gardiner and West Yellowstone, Montana and throughout the region. This is the largest earthquake at Yellowstone since the early 1980s and was part of a notable GPS- determined uplift episode of 3 cm at Norris that built up in the 4 months prior to the quake. The area returned to subsidence in the following 4 months. Analysis of the earthquake indicated a tectonic origin and was part of a sequence of earthquake swarms located north and northwest of Norris that began in Sept. 2013. Notably, the M4.8 event occurred at the same time that the Yellowstone caldera began to experience increased uplift rates up to +6 cm/yr, among the highest of the Yellowstone caldera uplift in modern history.

Is the big one coming ?
Yellowstone is like the old dragon that wakes from its ancient slumber
Scientist say its long overdue for a blowout
The dragon awakes
super volcano could be on the brink of erupting - which would cause widespread destruction.
Yellowstone has been unusually active, hit with more than 878 earthquakes in just over TWO WEEKS

This is the thread that kept me lurking before I joined; What's going on at Yellowstone?
