The one in orange above does not appear on my listings.

The 2.7 and 3.4 are now also DELETED EVENTS. Appears They are working weekends these days?

On the other post about yellowstone today someone said they were going to send an alert...what does this mean? I'm assuming it means the worst?

That is interesting. Looking at the webicorders on here there is only one where that seemed to show up, being YMR. But on closer inspection, that trace was at the wrong time and showed up nowhere else anyway.

This is weird, maybe they are testing something? "The effects of large reported yellowstone quakes in the media and internet" sounds like a fun report to write.

This isn't the first time the map has this on a weekend.
I've written about this before.
The last "test", failure, had quakes showing all over the park. It looked as if the whole caldera was coming unglued.
Don't bother trusting the maps.
Check the webicorders.
I think you can trust them.

I want to say thank you to the Mods that have taken notice to all the unneeded threads on Yellowstone and have redirected them here.

Well, there has just been a small quake, which actually shows up on the Webicorders. So one presumes this one is real.

quake.utah.edu...

But, this is just a 1.7, so nothing to worry about. Near to Hebden Lake though.

What i want to know is, if that MAG 10 scale quake was an instrument failure or was it real?
We are talking a quake that has a magnitude ive never seen recorded or spoken of....
Here we expect a Mag 9 quake someday, which is devastating, but mag 10???????
Anyone comment?

Where was this said to happen?
Not at yellowstone....

considering a magnitude 10 quake would need to take place over a giant sized area of faults to get to that magnitude, and the fact it could divide a continent with that power.... I'm betting it wasn't real wherever you saw it.

We're being played for chumps.
Think about it.

fully agree..
this I posted just on quake watch 2011:

my opinion is that couse of economic and infrastructure problems YVO will never warn for an eruption untill it really erupts......
considering that even FEMA issent capable to organise an mass evacuation of all humans in the effected zone...
and the lack of incoming money if yellowstone would be in an state off alert...
shortly said:
if its blows than it is bad luck for many...
YVO would only say that they were surprised with the event and diddend see it coming...

I was reading an interesting new thread about two earthquakes just this day at Yellowstone, the data for which then was removed from USGA website. The thread moderator closed the thread because there is already a thread about Yellowstone. This is that thread. This thread is 651 pages long and not on the same train of thought as the thread that was closed. Would someone mind telling me why all things Yellowstone must reside in one humongous thread? (I don't think that's right. No offense to this thread.) However, that being the case, will someone also please summarize the 651 pages so that I can be quickly brought up to speed on the collective thinking that has and is taking place here?

This is the Yellowstone thread because there is a group of us who watch the quakes at the park and we are usually on top of the activity. I'm sometimes ahead. Puterman can post all kinds of graphic and sound samples of real events when they happen. This thread is called "What's happening... and that's what we mainly talk about.

What's happening with the false quakes?

It's a test. And although I agree that the US Goverment always acts surprised when events happen, example, the levies in New Orleans, the resistance in Iraq and Afghanistan, and the events in Eygpt (bs), they are experiment to see what happens when activity happens on weekends or holidays. This all started because of Chris Sanders (i think that's his name), warned of an eruption during the swarm which started on Boxing Day 2008. Since the YVO were at home with their families, they didn't have control of the message. Since then they have been occasionally posting quakes and watching for the reaction on blogs. A reporter from Powell Wyoming was monitoring our conversations during the second major swarm in January 2010 because he wanted to understand why the media was ignoring the second swarm. The reason was because the YVO was proactive and jumped immediately to reassure the media and public that all was ok because the didn't want a repeat Boxing Day Swarm.

It's all about controlling the message.
"The media is the message."

en.wikipedia.org...(phrase)

Did I say chumps? I meant chubs (which are fish). They are throwing out lures and are seeing if we bite. I'm a fisherman. I'm not a fish.

Sorry, no edits or corrections, written at light speed, I also have lots to do on weekends.

btw ..they did an clumsy job for hiding the events...

thanks for cluing me in-- for taking the time to do so. I will know what to look for when I 'check in' for info.

In terms of chumps vs. chubs... maybe a Freudian slip, in that they must THINK we are chumps, the way they attempt to play us like a finely tune violins, in their orchestrated scheme of world control by confusion.

I just got up. Please let me say "What The HELL IS Happening at Yellowstone?

YMR is showing quakes, map NOT.

I saw those two quakes early this morning.

I agree, we ARE being deceived!

I have had a look at the only recorder that is anywhere close - and that is not very close - in Fairbanks, Alaska that is a private recorder. You can see on the trace below a 3.9 in Central Alaska which did not produce a huge trace so I was not hopeful of a 3.4 in YNP showing at all.



There is a tiny event, way too small but at the right time. Now it could be way too small because it is too far off, in the which case it could be an event in Yellowstone but I suspect is is a very small local bump mainly because the waveform, such as we can see it, is too 'sharp' for a distant small quake..

The event immediately before it on the line is a local event I would guess because it is small yet triggered the STA threshold with (it looks like) the S-wave component. Of course we don’t know what the threshold trigger is set at.

I cannot find this 3.4 Yellowstone event on ANY of the various (and numerous) seismos that I look at so I have to say that I suspect it is a non-event. Given the enormity - and I do mean enormity - of attempting to remove a 3.4 quake from every recorder that may have registered it I consider it highly unlikely if not impossible that the event did occur and was 'tampered with'.

Given that I also investigated two other 'disappearances' yesterday I have to say that I am very concerned at this little rash of removals.

Whilst I am aware that there is always a high incidence of removals at Yellowstone - always above the average - this last batch needs some explanation. I shall be taking this up with JL I think.

I'm replying here because another thread was closed on this subject.... I have lived in the Yellowstone area most of my life, nearly 30 years here. While I could yet be surprised, I assure you, many many earthquakes of small size (4.0 and lower) occur very often. It's constant, really. So I'd like to say, Don't worry, be happy. Sure, I could be wrong and its about to blow but really, we have quakes around here, tiny ones, alllllll the time. What can I say? It's a geologically active area. Hence Old Faithful and all the other geysers and hotpots and boiling mud, etc. etc.
