There is a tendency after an event like Haiti and the various programs documenting the Yellowstone supervolcano for people to freak out for lack of knowledge surrounding the seismic activity there. You post is entirely lacking on the seismic history and whether or not these quakes were significant. If it were your point that these are ‘fun to watch’ you should have made it clear at the get go. As a geologist and a Montanan I see too much knee jerk reactions about Yellowstone as there is.

Thanks for that Godzilla...my daughter is moving to Montana next month, and this thread scared me.

BTW, how is the job market out there?

Thanks!

Point taken.

However, I may remind you, that this will be reported in the next few hours and no doubt posted on this board as a new swarm.

If you note the terminology “small seismic activity” well I did not think that to be too much of a chicken little approach.
