Level 3 - Potential hazard to life and property.

Evacuating some areas.

I thought the people giving the press conference were very nervous - even distracted. They seemed almost frightened. Did I get that wrong?

I think you are right, the siesmologists also seemed a bit anxious. I have only studied this stuff as an amateur who was born in CA, but I think it's pretty unpredictable.

Yesteredays venting... was apparently the start of something bigger... and bigger is on the way.

I thought so, too. I was relieved when the evacuation order came down - judging from the speed with which the equipment was dismantled, the reporters were relieved, too. (of course, they were also racing each other to get to the next location, since they were told there wouldn't be room for all of them at the overlook)
