Is it windy there? I hope it's windy. Of course, I don't see wind on any other sensors...
Sensitivity on that sensor is at 66 microvolts. You could sneeze and make it shake.
Man get off my cloud, Of course it is, I have been watching the USGS site for a year, so back off, look at the history... look it up go back to 2000 and look it up. And as for the recent activity, Look around the world man. look!!

It's really not picking up. You've watched too much TV and you're over-sensitized.
The USGS is not affiliated with a web site that recommends evacuation of Yellowstone National Park and bears the USGS logo. The USGS is not recommending the evacuation of the Park.
Officials at the USGS are working through the appropriate legal channels to have both the warning and logo removed from the web site.
Seismologists continue to review the earthquakes ....
A new Frequently Asked Question about earthquake analysis will be posted here soon
There are several causes for earthquakes:
Earthquakes at Yellowstone are caused by a combination of geological factors including: 1) regional stress associated with normal faults (those where the valleys go down relative to the mountains) such as the nearby Teton and Hebgen Lake faults, 2) magmatic movements at depth (>7 kms or 4 miles), and 3) hydrothermal fluid activity caused as the groundwater system is heated to boiling by magmatic heat.
At this time, no one has noted any anomalous changes in surface discharges (hot springs, gas output, etc.).

I didn't see this posted any where (hopefully I didn't miss it...I have been reading very regularly since page 75...and man, what a great place to talk about theories in a rational way...awesome) --- USGS has once again posted Yellowstone on the Elevated Volcano Activity Tab. This is the 3rd time since the swarm I have noticed this happens.
My question is this --- if there is enough information for the USGS to move Yellowstone from the "US Volcano Alerts" tab to the "Elevated Status Volcanoes" tab, why wouldn't that be enough to issue some kind of alert to the public?????
Elevated Status Volcanoes
Thanks all for posting. You guys are awesome!
