Quoting: Anonymous Coward 17531086 So, I will be up for this challenge a bit later today. I'm not saying that you are wrong. There is a lot to look at.

What I've been trying to figure out
THIS MORNING is
WHAT HAPPENED in the park this morning?I am a bit surprised that no one is chatting about this.
___________________
The live cam went down at 4:56 MT, which is 10:56 UTC.
When I started my usual morning look-see, the first thing I saw was that the South-facing Mt. Washburn cam was showing a HUGE white-ish with some dark emission, rising high in the sky about mid-point in the view.
This was at 7:36 Local Time. I took a screenshot, opened Word, and found that I had lost my wi-fi connection.
So, I reset my connection, took a second screenshot, to find that the view in the cam had deteriorated sharply. You can see the steam or whatever it is rising near the bottom in this edited shot; it has a dark mass at the top:
:Mt. Washburn:
After this I looked through seismos, finding a series of rumbles and quakes on the Madison River helicorder traces: [

The quake at 10:38:30ish was shortly before the cam went down.
It appears that Maple Creek felt it AT THE SAME MOMENT: [

But, just like yesterday, the quake was felt earlier at Denny Creek [

YET, Hegben Lake seemed to record it ever so slightly moments sooner than Denny: [

What I do is place a small sticky note on my monitor at what looks like the earliest point of impact, then bring up a series of traces to compare.
Once I find the earliest, I double check them all again.
Hebgen Lake has what looks like an early rumble moments before the event took place...the others all traced afterward.
Also, just like yesterday, I see that it registered in other places around the region.
A quick look at the cams before I post this show that visibility in the Park has deteriorated in the past two hours.
The quake was local, somewhere closer to Hebgen Lake than Denny Creek, and this time looks like a double slam throughout much of the immediate area. I think there may have been two quakes in succession, or, a huge echo effect on the first.
To see it quick and easily, go to this page G [

Put in Slice thickness: 90 minutes Center time (MST) 1: 15
all the traces will come up for that time period alone, for you to compare.
REVISION AT 2:02 PM ESTWhile studying this further, I have just looked at the Traces again to find that Denny Creek seems to have felt the quake this morning approx two seconds sooner than Hegben Lake:
Denny Creek: 10:39:22 UTC 4:39:22 MT May 6th

I just wanted to clarify my mistake, since we have been following this so closely.Someone might think:
What's the difference? Well, Hebgen and Denny are on opposite sides of the flood plain, and with Hebgen already having had a terrible quake in 1959, the differentiation as to 'who was on first' might be emotionally unnerving to someone reading false info.
I will go even further to say that I can't really be certain that the area around Denny was the epicenter...it certainly doesn't LOOK like it on the trace...but it's all we have to go on right now.
Yet, I did go through all the traces on the 'Montana' site, finding none sooner than 10:40:00...at Yellow Bay, Bassoo Peak, Jette Mt., Schwartz Lake, Ferry Basin, and Pistol Creek -which is very active.
I throw this out for anyone interested in looking yonder.
I apologize if I have done so
