USGA ^

Posted on 03/30/2014 10:28:20 AM PDT by TroutGuy

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.

There is definitely something going on, hundreds of quakes up and down California and now this?

Trans-dierectional vibrations of the Russian military forming up.

I’ve been to that Norris Geyser Basin ... and it looks like a scene out of the movie “One Million Years BC”. I almost expected to see dinosaurs walking about, among the barren and steaming land!

Had a 4.8 just up the road last night west of Talkeetna Alaska about 5:38 last night, felt in Anchorage.

It’ll take a couple passes of the InSAR satellite to get new data on deformation

That should qualify as a separate post, as I have a feeling the data won’t be encouraging.

Trans-dierectional vibrations of the Russian military forming up.

Or maybe Guam DID tip over!

People should be aware, too, that Yellowstone National Park has about 1,000 earthquakes a year there. At least that’s what the Ranger told us.

I was thinking it might be activity from "The Underminer", since they finally appear to have an "Incredibles" sequel in the works.

You don’t want lava spewing out of Yellowstone. It would likely mean the end of the USA.

And if released all at once, could cause massive devastation.

The more the better. It is a bad thing when the earthquakes stop.

Hard to tell if this is caused by fracking, global warming, Bush, or racism.

It is the War on Women and Assault Rifles.

In Oklahoma, there is a definitive report out from the USGS that identifies some of those with the fracking process. There is some merit to that.
