The University of Utah Seismograph Stations reports that a light earthquake occurred at 06:34 AM on March 30, 2014 (MDT). The epicenter of the magnitude 4.8 shock was located 4 miles north-northeast of Norris Geyser Basin in Yellowstone National Park, Wyoming. This earthquake is part of a series of earthquakes that began in this area on Thursday, March 27. As of 8:15 am today, this series has included at least 25 earthquakes in addition to the main shock, with the largest of magnitude 3.1. The magnitude 4.8 main shock was reported felt in Yellowstone National Park and in the towns of West Yellowstone and Gardiner, Montana.
Today's event is the largest earthquake at Yellowstone since February 22, 1980, and occurred near the center of a region of recent ground uplift described in a YVO Information Statement on February 18, 2014. The Yellowstone Volcano Observatory has been tracking this uplift episode for about 7 months.

Is that a Red Dwarf? ;-)
Us folks in northern California didn’t feel any earthquakes.
Where do you get this “up and down California”?
Income inequality. Gimme some more of yours.
Thanks Lucy. Yikes, at least with hurricanes we have notice!
Could be.
At least thats what the Ranger told us.
Before or after the 0bama regime came into power?
5.56mm
If wonder if Al Gore will tackle earthquake prevention?
You might need ‘stress relief.’ Best way is to read up on geology, especially earthquakes.
“ground uplift” ?
RUH-ROH!
No, I’m not sure. I’d run from her too...LOL.
I think it was back when Reagan was around ... :-) ...
OH for pete’s sake get a grip on yourself and feel the levity! Yup I’ll just hyperbole over to the geo section right now because I obviously as a lifelong Californian can’t deal with a 5.1. My statement is true that “some” people are stressed out over it, never said I was one of them!
WHOA! Thanks for the ping; post; Very interesting. BTTT!
Just keep repeating the mantra:
AngrywhitemaleRepublicansdrivingsuvswhilebitterlyclingingtotheirgunsandbibles.
and as I started reading this one, I IMMEDIATELY thought of the four blood moons and solar eclipse.
Maybe the Mayans were off by 2 years.
(Or the "experts" misread the Mayans, and the "experts" were off by 2 years)
“I IMMEDIATELY thought of the four blood moons and solar eclipse.”
People out there just laugh about the warnings God gives before judgment strikes. He isn’t willing that anyone should perish, but evil is a stench to His nostrils.
When things get too bad the earth vomits the wicked out of the land. (And if you defile the land, it will vomit you out as it vomited out the nations that were before you. Leviticus 18:28)
