CHEYENNE, Wyo. — Yellowstone National Park was jostled by a host of small earthquakes for a third straight day Monday, and scientists watched closely to see whether the more than 250 tremors were a sign of something bigger to come. Swarms of small earthquakes happen frequently in Yellowstone, but it's very unusual for so many earthquakes to happen over several days, said Robert Smith, a professor of geophysics at the University of Utah. "They're certainly not normal," Smith said. "We haven't had earthquakes in this energy or extent in many years."

“Hell, we’re all gonna freakin’ die!”

Yup. I bet it’s the big volcano I saw on Science channel.

So much for my New Year’s resolutions. I think it’s time to max out the credit cards at the tittie bar.

[farlander]

Isn’t this supposed to be happening in 2012 ?

Does this mean I can stop paying my mortgage?

Activity has dropped substantially, bu we probably need to give it another 12-24 hours to be sure. Here are the Yellowstone seismo stations: http://www.quake.utah.edu/helicorder/heli/yellowstone/index.html

The Chimera is going to pop. Everyone within 1000 miles is doomed! Oh the huge matinee.

[KevinDavis]

Bush’s fault!!!

[Domandred]

That’s great...it starts with an earth quake....

It’s the end of the world as we know it.
It’s the end of the world as we know it.
It’s the end of the world as we know it.

And I feel fine!

[SamAdams76]

The way I look at it, there's nothing we can do about it so why worry?

Anyhow, if Yellowstone can wait just three more weeks before blowing half of the United States into the ozone layer, then at least it will be Obama's fault.

[rigor mortis]

Yes, not because of the ‘Yellowstone’ thing, but because Obama’s gonna take care of that for you come mid-Jan. Plus he’ll buy the gas for your car too!!
