USGA ^

Posted on 03/30/2014 10:28:20 AM PDT by TroutGuy

The University of Utah Seismograph Stations reports that a light earthquake occurred at 06:34 AM on March 30, 2014 (MDT). The epicenter of the magnitude 4.8 shock was located 4 miles north-northeast of Norris Geyser Basin in Yellowstone National Park, Wyoming. This earthquake is part of a series of earthquakes that began in this area on Thursday, March 27. As of 8:15 am today, this series has included at least 25 earthquakes in addition to the main shock, with the largest of magnitude 3.1. The magnitude 4.8 main shock was reported felt in Yellowstone National Park and in the towns of West Yellowstone and Gardiner, Montana.

Today's event is the largest earthquake at Yellowstone since February 22, 1980, and occurred near the center of a region of recent ground uplift described in a YVO Information Statement on February 18, 2014. The Yellowstone Volcano Observatory has been tracking this uplift episode for about 7 months.

Us folks in northern California didn’t feel any earthquakes.
Where do you get this “up and down California”?

Just because you didn't feel them doesn't mean they didn't happen. And as where I get this "up and down California is from the USGS, it's kind of their thing. But here is a tracking site for you. http://earthquaketrack.com/v/norcal/recent

Good evening.

At least that’s what the Ranger told us.

Before or after the 0bama regime came into power?

You might need ‘stress relief.’ Best way is to read up on geology, especially earthquakes.

OH for pete’s sake get a grip on yourself and feel the levity! Yup I’ll just hyperbole over to the geo section right now because I obviously as a lifelong Californian can’t deal with a 5.1. My statement is true that “some” people are stressed out over it, never said I was one of them!

Hard to tell if this is caused by fracking, global warming, Bush, or racism.

Just keep repeating the mantra:

Maybe the Mayans were off by 2 years.
(Or the "experts" misread the Mayans, and the "experts" were off by 2 years)

“I IMMEDIATELY thought of the four blood moons and solar eclipse.”

People out there just laugh about the warnings God gives before judgment strikes. He isn’t willing that anyone should perish, but evil is a stench to His nostrils.

When things get too bad the earth vomits the wicked out of the land. (And if you defile the land, it will vomit you out as it vomited out the nations that were before you. Leviticus 18:28)
