For those of you that are using GEE, there has been a lot of very
low level activity on B208 for the past several days. Finally last night
at about 8:42 to 9:30 there was a small swarm, able to be seen
on YLA as well. They appear to be very close to B208. Is this
at all similar to activity in last years lake swarm?

I just checked the YS Quake map, and notice the new mini-swarm is back in the location of the Jan swarm was.. interesting... wonder if it's waking back up?

A 3.0 in San Jose, CA.

Absolutely not okay to pollute this thread with totally useless and irrelevant information. Seriously.

In case you don't know what I'm talking about, there is no reasonable expectation that a 3.0 in San Jose has ANY relevance to Yellowstone. Wrong thread for useless information.

Please educate yourself or find another site if you want to engage in this kind of thing.

TIA

or you could explain your ignorant comment here for all of us to hear. it amazes me that people so often group americans together as ignorant a__holes, when what could be more rude and ignorant then stereotyping a giant group of diverse people

Take a look steve95988 this is how a adult handles the situation. Because you actually come off looking worse than the guy you are calling out.

Thank you very much for giving us a heads-up about alysha's Volcano Watch thread. Great idea and I for one will be following it with great interest.

I'd also like to echo EngTech36's query made in the second post on this page. (Not to you specifically, PuterMan, but to anyone who might have a considered opinion.)

Thank you,

Mike

Arrogance and ignorance.

Pettiness and futility.

The day before yesterday I went to the hospital. I needed some help and wanted some tranquillizers. The doctor lectured me on the evils of marijuana and then refused to prescribe me what I asked for. Instead the doctor instead they would only give me antipsychotic. I argued that the side-effects were unbearable and they didn't work. In fact, they make me crazier. But my words fell on deaf ears and I was told that my problems were as a result of marijuana and that it was a scientific fact. I argued that I had a mental illness before I ever smoked a joint. I had serious behavioural and emotional problems as a child. I could have been talking to a wall, because I was not being heard. The doctors authority trumped my life experience.

I walked out of the hospital in a rage. I emerged from the hosptial in worse shape than I went in. On the way home I almost jumped off a bridge. I had my hands on the rail and started over the top when a second thought pulled me back.

Irrelevant? No. Nothing we say hear really matters. We have no authority. This is a wall and our words just graffetti.

All I see in the world is arrogance and ignorance. All I see is a war between the left and the right. All I see here is sniping and pettiness.

Atlantis. It was a marvelous civilization. Their culture was highly developed and they had advanced architecture. But was it arrogance or ignorance that led to their demise? How wise was it to build a city ontop of an active volcano?

When someone from the future looks back at our world today, they will be amazed at our arrogance, and our ignorance. They will shake their heads and wonder why we did the things we're now doing.

Sorry for the distraction. You can continue to attack each other again. I've got bigger issues and I don't want to be part of this discussion anymore.

back to work posters, all input welcome and needed.........

THANKS for sharing Robin

Good morning all...

The topic, which we seem to have forgotten over the last little while, is:

What's going on at Yellowstone?

So, let's cut out the personal back and forth, and get back to talking about what's goin' on in Yellowstone...aside from bears mooching munchies.

'kay? Thanks.

Look, it's good that so little of substance is happening at/under Yellowstone that we can go on tangents... The boring calm is wonderful, as far as I'm concerned. I've just been following this on several forums and this thread is head and shoulders above the rest. Other, less substantive threads are littered with a report of literally every 3.5 or above earthquake globally that comes up on eQuake. It's beyond ignorant and annoying... This thread has been run by a few very good posters who not only provide data, but detail why it matters to the discussion of YELLOWSTONE.

If you want to provide any data whatsoever and then describe intelligently and in detail why you think it matters to the discussion, that's wonderful. If you can draw a meaningful correlation between a 3.0 in San Jose and Yellowstone, then by all means do so... But you'd be hard pressed. I think everyone here is open to theories about anything: Cycles of the moon, solar flares, quakes in other regions affecting others... But to postulate about these things, you need enough data samples presented in an organized fashion with a clear pattern... Otherwise, you're just contributing noise.

If in my lifetime Yellowstone were never to again percolate, that would be just fine by me... But if over the years it does, then this thread COULD serve as a wonderful resource for any and all who want to follow its recent history and have access to the thought process of serious people who sought to understand the mechanisms beneath it. Posting "3.0 in San Jose" simply has no place in that journey...

Point made. I'm not interested in personal flame wars... Just trying to remind some that a bar has been set here. This isn't a Limbo contest. If you're tempted to go beneath it, don't post here.

People, I don't know how do you look, but the swarm is not over yet. He has only grown weaker.
So no reason to stop now pay attention to the Yellowstone to .. it may only be the calm before the storm.

What is certain is that the Yellowstone from decade to decade is more active. Two earthquake swarms in two years .. that gave it to my knowledge has never been to the records.

But it now seems no Hydrothermal and volcanic activity to give .. probably built up enormous pressure on down there.

Ok, took a breath...... and I've been posting in this thread for over the last 479 pages or so, here and there, it's relevant because it's a tremor, in a sensitive area, that can sometime's lead to other instability throughout the country, depending on the timeframe and what else is going on...in addition, there are a lot of earthquakeophiles such as myself, who like to be aware of what's going on, beside's yellowstone. So before you go running off the deep end, think a moment, and be polite if you have something to say, otherwise, please feel free to head to yellowstone, and get me a p.o. box where I can send you a cellphone, and you can give all of us updates from the epicenter of Old Faithful, which every so often would provide you with a spectactular steam enema, and it sound's like you could use one.......

Oh, and before I forget.... sorry gang, should've gone to the Watch thread I know, but, it was a busy day, and I got carried away.... won't happen again, and forgive my temporary loss of decorum, and one last thing...... Robin don't leave!!! Come back, we'll play nice, and without you this thread would lose a lot of it's flavor...seriously

Hi Austria. I think we have to be careful about refering to small number of quakes (6 on any given day in the list you posted) as a swarm. The USGS defines a swarm thus:

There are many ways to identify swarms — here we use the simplest method of looking for increases in earthquake activity above a baseline.

Source

Since earlier in the document they refer to 1 to 20 a day, I suspect that the number would have to be well over 20 before they would consider it a swarm. Just my opinion of course.

So no reason to stop now pay attention to the Yellowstone to .. it may only be the calm before the storm. What is certain is that the Yellowstone from decade to decade is more active. Two earthquake swarms in two years .. that gave it to my knowledge has never been to the records.

A good point worth noting.

But it now seems no Hydrothermal and volcanic activity to give .. probably built up enormous pressure on down there.

It is of course a possibility!
