Yellowstone National Park,Wyo.-

The mystery of the deep at picturesque Yellowstone Lake is a BULGE that rises 100 feet from the lake floor, stretches the length of seven football fields, and has the potential to explode at any time.

We got earthquakes ,and movement at Madison,Mirror Lake, and others sites, these spots is where the ground is hot
. If only we had the new updated water temp readings.

The earthquakes are under 3.0, but it's important to be informed... This is for real

[djf]

Are they maroons? I thught they were croutons.

[TBall]

How many quakes per day does that region normally have?

[Orlando]

I will try to get that information, but looking at the
EQ map for over a year, I never seen this much activity
in the last 2-3 weeks, the pattern is increasing...

I remember reading two months ago of 72 earthquakes in that region around yellowstone/UT/MT, and that was a record.

Just in 7 days, there been 42 EQ's..in the Yellowstone region....

There is no new update on Water Temp as of Aug 9th, might
be a press/media black-out in place ((FEMA) ????

Okay , since we are in the dark with new/current live data
and information....

We know about the bulge (100 ft), and 187 temp in the northern lake, we have plant life dying,, fires, lightling
in that area, new vents, etc..etc...alot of worried scienists....the last two times Yellowstone blew (minor)
was approx 70,000 years and 140,000 years ago...they say minor...I pc together the close passage of MARS back to those @ dates...70,000 + 70,000 =140,000.....

Here comes Mars again, and look at what is happening as it gets closer...activity, not only Yellowstone but in many other locations..volcanoes are waking up, and the weather
is getting bad all over the world....Is this all connected ?
I say..YES...The bible explains these times...

Gen. 19. 11-25...and the writings of Mother Shipton, and others..

Back to the Lake....7 small earthquakes in the northern
part of lake, since 8/8/03...

1.1...8/11
2.1...8/10
1.1...8/9
1.4...8/8
2.7...8/8
1.1...8/8
2.8...8/8

Seismic ....post is LKWY/also Bridge, located just north
of Yellowstone Lake, just less than 1/2 miles from bulge
and Hot water...

If any of these data is wrong, I am sorry for that...
44.N-110.W (lake area)

[Orlando]

LKWY listening station is one of 14 other seismograph
network in YNP....


http://www.seis.utah.edu/helicorder/GIFs/misc/ynpwebcord.gif


The key spots to watch ..LKWY(the lake)..Madison, Norris,
Sheridan , W.B..Alot of the EQs that are occuring are posted 1-2 days after the event, why ?..I don't know...
If you want up to date, by the minute update, check-out..
index site of all 14 stations in YNP...

Ecuador volcano rumbles to life
From correspondents in Quito
August 22, 2003

ECUADOR'S Tungurahua volcano, in a state of simmering eruption since October 1999, rumbled to life overnight, sending a column of smoke and ash three kilometres high, the Geophysical Institute said.

The development followed reports from the institute on Wednesday that the volcano, in the country's central Andean region, had entered “a new phase or state of activity” signaled by a small sequence of earth tremors and gaseous and ash emissions over an extended period.

The latest activity followed 50 days of relative calm, since a similar eruption affected some 16,000 people in the area in early July.

The volcano, 5000m in altitude and 135km south of Quito, is one of Ecuador's most active.

Scientists: No major eruption likely soon at Yellowstone

Aug. 20, 2003 11:30 AM
BC-WST--Yellowstone-Eruption,500
YELLOWSTONE NATIONAL PARK, Wyo. (AP) - Geothermal activity is increasing in a
Yellowstone National Paark geyser basin and the bottom of Yellowstone Lake is
bulging, but scientists say there is no impending major eruption.

Searing ground temperatures, bursts of steam and flows of hot water prompted
park officials to close about half the trails in Norris Geyser Basin this
summer, and the increased thermal activity has led to concern among some
visitors about the potential for an eruption.

"This is just part of the change that goes on in Yellowstone," park geologist
Hank Heasler said. "I wont say its normal, because we dont know what normal is."

But scientists say there is no evidence that Yellowstone is poised for a
powerful eruption, such as the one that rocked the region 600,000 years ago.

If the park were ready to blow its top, there would be several signs that magma
was moving toward the surface, and earthquakes would be more frequent and
stronger. The ground, while often rising and falling in Yellowstone, would most
likely gradually rise and the chemistry of many geysers would change.

All of that activity is constantly monitored by scientists with the Yellowstone
Volcanic Observatory, a long-running study of the parks underground systems.

If the park were poised for a major eruption, the signs wouldnt be subtle,
Heasler said.

"I doubt youd need seismographs to know that changes were happening in
Yellowstone," he said.

Early signs of an impending outburst would be similar to the 1980 eruption of
Mount St. Helens in Washington state. Scientists knew something big was brewing
months ahead of time although they couldnt predict exactly how big or when the
eruption was coming.

The current geologic activity in Yellowstone appears to be much closer to the
surface than would be exhibited by magma flows. At such shallow depths, water
heated by the earth is driving the changes.

"Were not searching for magmatic fluids," said Bob Smith, a geologist at the
University of Utah who has studied the park for three decades. "We think this is
a very shallow system."

Norris is the most dynamic of the parks geyser basins and Jacob Lowenstern, a
researcher at the U.S. Geological Survey in Menlo Park, Calif., said it always
experiences increased activity in summer.

But this year is exceptional, with a new mud pot welling up, 200-degree
temperatures on the ground and geysers that havent erupted in years spouting
off.

And unlike years past, dramatic improvements in equipment are allowing
scientists to peek deeper and more precisely record changes in the upper
plumbing. They are using precision seismometers and satellite-mapping systems to
record the changes.

"Lets say were doctors and Norris Geyser Basin is our patient," Heaslier said.
"Before, we had the ability to take its pulse and temperature. Now we have a
stethoscope and an X-ray machine, and we can look inside."

It is, however, entertaining and occasionally they have a guest on who I can respect.

Michio Kaku (sp?) used to be on a lot when Art Bell was the host. Now that Art's back on weekends, hopefully, Kaku will come back more often. I love that guy.

Oh, yeah. My sweetie's sort of afraid of the shadow people. :-)
