I’m very close to Yellowstone, south about 200 miles.

We recently had a small earthquake in the area, I wonder if its related?

You might find this page interesting...it's the volcanic/seismic monitoring program at Yellowstone. Yellowstone has up to 20 earthquakes on a usual day, but there have been "swarms," where several hundred were recorded in a single day. Also, there have been periods where the caldera subsided over a decade or so before resuming uplift.

BTW, I'm not a seismologist or volcanologist, nor do I have any connection to the USGS or Yellowstone. :-)
