I am certainly no earthquake expert but I think a “swarm” is a lot of very small tremors in a short period of time.

Do you mind telling me what a swarm is?Many small quakes occurring in a short period of time.

“So much for that elk hunt I have been saving for.”
On the positive side, hopefully the ash cloud won’t make it to the middle of Iowa if it goes off.
On the other side; our record winter would probably continue for another 12 months all the way through 2010 and beyond.

Thanks for letting us know. I have texted my 12 y.o. Granddaughter to alert her to the email link I sent her.

Well, it doesn’t sound like bees or locusts....
I had no clue what the title was referring to, not being familiar with USGS terminology.
Perhaps the mods could do something with the title so that people will know it’s about volcanoes?

Is that still active or is it just a crack in the earth that could reopen again.
How big is the opening at Yellowstone?
I am not a geologist but I wonder if the openings are so big now that the pressure would be lessened than what happened millions of year ago or if it happened again it would spew the ash and magma with the same force.
How big is the opening? I though with volcanoes that the cone builds up and a relatively small opening then blows due to the pressure.

It is blows and destroys several states just think of all the jobs it will create!
So it will actually be a good thing. Other areas of the country will wish for their own eruption!

Thanks, all.
I figured that was what it was, but I wanted to make sure you weren't talking about bees. ;)

This late episode at Yellowstone is fairly clam compared to the Long Valley Caldera episode about 10 or 12 years ago.
Interesting, but not so bad...now.

When you see a story when a bunch of animals and birds leave Yellowstone at once fast, then you know something is up..

What is the standard for a first stage alert? Who calls it, the USGS? Is it an alert for a full on volcanic supersized eruption, or just an alert for explosive hydrothermal activity that would be very localized?

Yes, super volcano. It it were to blow, it’d be devastating...and that my dear, is an understatement.
To: bergmeid
Oh never mind, I see the original link is the one for Madison River. .....:-)

LOL. Reminds me of a little tidbit I saw during a SyFi disaster movie - If you suddenly see all of the animals running in one direction... follow them.
