Yellowstone is a supervolcano. Let’s hope it’s not going active.

Bush’s fault.

I mean... global warming evidence.

I mean... Someone needs to subsidize safe tectonic plate activity. Yes we can!

I think there are small tremors quite often in Yellowstone. But it is rather scary knowing I live between it and the coast that they keep telling us is going to fall off into the ocean.

Wow, why not a “super volcano”? Make the Mass. election look like - - - - -+
Blame Bush, of course.

Why does the record look so different for Parker Peak? Looks like it’s just one continuous earthquake.

I’ve been watching Yellowstone via the USGS since 1997....

I don’t see anything out of the ordinary yet.

Don’t worry, prevailing winds will make everything go east from where you are.

Been awhile since that area has recorded this much activity.

Looks like a little swarm if you note the webicorders. Something to watch for awhile, that and the Jets game...lol

Calling all DNC politicians you are urgently needed in Yellowstone Park. Don’t forget your pica-anic baskets!

Earthquake activity in the Yellowstone region is at relatively normal background levels.

From the USGS Yellowstone Volcano Observatory for 1/10.
