Hey the real news right now is the sudden burst of small earthquake activity around North Sister mountain in central Oregon. About 50 small quakes less than 2.0 on Tuesday and lots more today.

To recap, in 1997, scientists using satellite photo mapping and interference imaging with earlier satellite photos detected a bulge on the north face of North Sister (near Bend, OR) Over the following years the bulge has been growing.

So far, scientists have cautioned that they can't see any reason to expect anything unusual, just a bulge, that's all.

I'm waiting to hear if the scientists are beginning to change their minds given that the place is becoming seismically active.

I've been trying to follow the "Sisters bulge" story for a while. Do you know of any sources that are following this that I can periodically check? Thanks.
