YELLOWSTONE NATIONAL PARK, Wyo. (AP) - The University of Utah Seismograph Stations report a swarm of small earthquakes in Yellowstone National Park.

The university says the quakes of magnitude 3.5 and lower have been occurring beneath Yellowstone Lake, five to nine miles south-southeast of Fishing Bridge, a park landmark.

Toba almost wiped put the Human Race (Human population went from several million to 10,000 to 1,000 people. )and it was about the same size as the largest Yellowstone eruption.

Maybe we won’t need to buy fireworks for this New Years...

Who knows, maybe Yellowstone Lake will be a great "hot tub" next summer.

If lucky, the page may update from time to time.

Three more in the last hour...

Oh we are ok...they are all in one little spot under water....(sarc.) :)

[PokeyJoe]

One little spot under the water... on top of the magma dome that has been expanding 3cm every year for the past 5 years. (/more sarcasm)

LOL....sarcasm taken...:)

I’ve also read where the heat factor is rising around Yellowstone, they are seeing large patches of what looks like burnt grass.

Most prevailing winds do not travel west/southwest from Northwest Wyoming. They generally head due east, and southeast. If you had to be in the U.S. during a major event from that region, the west coast would probably be the safest place in regards to ash fall.

I’ll admit it....I’m dumb.

WHAT does “Age=1.3MYa”, etc., stand for?

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO wah!

[Rushmore Rocks]

Actually there have been about 250 small earthquakes since Friday. Some of the seismologists and volcunologists are starting to get a bit concerned......and they should be.

Thanks for the ping.

CAPS LOCK.! ahhhh!

Thank you for the ping! Just finished watching a 1990 “Earthquake” Flick. I’m ready.
