A number of bloggers are posting videos that show bison and other animals allegedly leaving Yellowstone National Park, prompting theories that as earthquakes ramp up the seismic activity will set off the Yellowstone supervolcano.
Two of the main bloggers behind the discussion stress that there’s no way to know when the supervolcano will go off but note that the 4.8 magnitude earthquake that hit on March 30 seemed to set off a reaction from the animals, who are moving for a reason.
“Whether I believe this, or whether I don’t believe the story or not, I don’t know. I can tell you this story I saw this morning about the buffaloes running the street … whether or not it’s because of any activity in Yellowstone or not, I don’t know,” said blogger Jay Lee, who posted a story on his site tatoott1009.com.
“But I’ll tell you this, whatever the case may be, that their running away from Yellowstone is an alert of some sort.”
“It also could be from this video, where poachers are killing them, chasing them, abusing them, running them around,” he said. “Could be hundreds of things for them to be running. I wanted you to listen [to the videos] and make up your own mind on what to think. “
A series of smaller quakes have hit the region over the past few weeks, and those quakes have been linked to the recent 5.1 magnitude quake (and aftershocks) that hit in the Los Angeles region.
Tom Lupshu, who describes himself as a “noted Ohio survivalist and search-and-rescue expert,” said on YouTube that nearly one quarter of the northern elk herd at Yellowstone National Park are missing, according to the annual winter count.
“Biologists aren’t sure if there’s been a stunning decline in the herd or if other factors have skewed the tally,” he said. “Current Helium releases at 1000 times above normal. Complete media blackout. Herds of bison running for their lives on the public roadways and they were not being chased or rounded up, the bison were running down the mountain slopes onto roadways running right past a filming crew. They detect something vast and deadly. The Yellowstone Supervolcano is the only thing there that would fit the bill.”
Lupshu said in a later video that scientists say they can’t predict when the Supervolcano will erupt.
“But one thing is for sure. The more the Earthquakes in the region, the more are the chances of the volcano being activated from its dormant state. Last time an earthquake struck in 1980. But the force of nature has acted up once again.”
The supervolcano refers to the huge magma chamber beneath the park, which is in Wyoming.
Time to move to your bunker?
A single video doesn’t mean anything. If all the buffalo leave then its cause for concern.
Well, maybe we don’t have to worry about Ebola after all ...
I’ll be concerned if Yogi and Booboo leave. Well longer than to see a movie.
I’m far enough away that, for me, it will be a good show.
Actually I would like to know that also.
Are the buffalo actually “leaving” the park, or were they just huffing down the road at that time?
I agree it is somewhat concerning if they are fleeing the park, but do we have any evidence of that?
Ditto that.
“OK, Boo Boo, screw stealing’ pickenic’ baskets, steal Mr. Ranger’s jeep and get outta here!” B-)
Unusually harsh winter and increasing predation from wolves.
were they running east or west?
The buffalos are exiting. If the deer and the antelope are close behind something HUGE is about to happen.
“were they running east or west?”
Can a buffalo outrun a super-volcano?
Next thing you know bloggers will be quoting lines from the movie “2012” as proof that she’s gonna blow.
Buffalo are migratory animals and are usually on the move. Looking at that video w/o a perspective of direction they may be moving towards the caldera instead of away from it.
Videos like this prove nothing. If it blows it blows and there’s nothing anyone can do about it. At least it will make the lamestream media stop talking about owebamacaare and the missing jetliner.

“They detect something vast and deadly.”
Even bison are scared of Obamacare.
