Yellowstone National Park, Wyoming was hit by an earthquake with a magnitude of 3.3, one of many earthquakes that the park is assailed with every year. According to local news sites and the US Geological Survey (USGS) May 8, 2011.

...

A 7.5 magnitude earthquake, which occurred in 1959, near the Hebgen Lake though, had killed 28 people. According to geologists however, the Yellowstone caldera itself is unlikely to experience large earthquakes because the weakened bedrock is less likely to burst due to high subsurface temperatures.

“It’s just Yogi Bear doing the Cha Cha.”

That's JellyStone. Lets get the facts straight and not put the blame on a bear in a park hundreds of mile away. Yogi is innocent.

I went to school with Yogi. He may be not guilty, but he’s not innocent...not by a long way. He was one partying bear.
