Yellowstone is shaking it up!

Try this too. They are just starting to add up the earthquakes.

Whoa. I gave up checking today and look what I miss. Thank you, op. :)

How can an earthquake be a negative magnitude?

Going to the seismic site, the web recorder counts at least 15 earthquakes. A little ways from the rim, this is quite interesting to say the least.

For Yellowstone doom.

See, they are adding them up as we speak.

You beat me to it mil man.
Just noticed that quake and was about to post it.

5 stars

Pin!!!

This is a very odd event to have so many so quickly.

Sorry - off topic...but your avatar is sooo cute Samantha!

I agree. We really don't need this! We got enough trouble with the sinkhole/New Madrid threat.

They slowed down some, but I counted at least 10 in the past 10 minutes, most below 1.5.

Yellowstone experiences about 3,000 earthquakes a year.
The park is 96 percent in Wyoming, 3 percent in Montana and 1 percent in Idaho

The site isthisthingon has the recorders. Graphs. I think California and Nevada are riding up that fault. (Personal opinion and probably wrong) Yellowstone can chill. Literally and figuratively.

Yep. I'd guess 90% of glp knows that. Still have to watch it.

Oh, damn. Pin and updates... My curiosity is quite aroused.

5 * and suggest pin.

5 quakes in very close proximity in the past 2 hours. They are small but something is moving there, and right now.

Isthisthingon is a good place to get a snap shot. If this is a swarm, it will vibrate for quite a while with ups and downs. Right now, it claimed down but then spiked again.

I so didn't realize they were ALL within the last hour. My heart literally just stopped. Yeah. In Montana here. :(

One more bigger quake in the green.

The latest per government release.

I think it's safe to say that this is a swarm!

Up to 5 over 2.5 and one almost 2. Most of the time Old Faithful is 0.*. Maybe a mild 1.*. But nothing over a 2.5 and so close.

USGS has 5 of them listed which is unusual for them. They usually don't record them on the main page.

[link to earthquake.usgs.gov]

Still quite a ways from old faithful. This is over on the Idaho side of the caldera.

Foreshocks???

My app lists it as Old Faithful. And then ID on seis. Odd? Or just a REALLY dumb app. ;) Dumb app.

Seems to be par for the course every few months.

Don't. Say. That.
