Whats going on at yellowstone?

Ok, I'm off to bed. Someone tell the Mistress Yellowstone not to start the party without me, I don't want to miss anything.

I have seen plenty of USGS listing that have been pulled over the years.

Different reasons such as quarry blasts, and just residual noise from other earthquakes. Sometimes USGS will give a reason they pull one, and its usually under those lines of circumstances.

Now if you saw something that is 5 or higher and it gets pulled.. that will be a little different I would think.

I have seen that as well - the quarry ones in particular. But why would they be pulling any of the Yellowstone ones at this point. We know this is actual movement not quarry work right?

There is alot of other seismic activity going on around the world.

its well known that volcanic activity can stretch over great distances, so a quake elsewhere can affect another regions sensors. An echo if you will.

Unlike those 2 last ones though.. those were definitely quakes in the yellowstone region.

This is interesting to say the least. A lot of the graphs are still down and they are not updating.

In summary, for what the USGS and Fema is feeding us.

- According to a USGS specialist, wind is causing a tree to create vibes creating the rhythmic movements we have seen at YML.

- According to the USGS all is normal at YellowStone (business as usual)

- Fema stated wrong information on a release of information


To put it all together, they must be hiding something... Scientists in general are saying this is something to carefully watch yet the USGS is saying all is normal. And they use wind as an excuse!

I really hate it when people try and hide the truth....

It was the 2 last ones that were removed.
There was a 2.6 and a 2.8.
Quake right? Not echo?

Video clip with audio of Robert Smith:

Sorry if this is a repeat, but what stands out to me is:

The Wasatch Front itself is due for a potentially major earthquake. Scientists say the Yellowstone quakes should serve as a reminder. "When it does happen, it's going to be an extremely large impact," Smith said.

Happy New Years from the Midwest (USA)!

They might have been removed from your widget, but they are clearly still listed on the Utah site, so it a moot point.

I have a firefox addon for EQ's, and its only reliable half the time as well.

But, I do understand what you are saying.

Ah good. I didn't see them listed at Utah. That's all that matters.
I guess my widget just doesn't fancy Yellowstone. : )
Thanks.

well.. .a happy new year to everyone
why is the yml diagram frozen though?
hasn't plotted any more since 17:00 MST
(might be that this occurance was already discuss, I just skipped the last 20 pages; no time to read them)

I found a page where there's a animation for all of the earthquakes that have happened in the US lately. Yellowstone isn't the only place that's seen a lot of activity.

Here's the page.
earthquake.usgs.gov...

Be sure to click the Start Animation button.

In addition to my cat acting wierd the last few days, I just noticed tonight on my software the planetary positions in the solar system are heavily weighted toward one side with a Saturn and Uranus opposition and Mars Pluto conjunction. The Mars Pluto conj won't be out of range moreso for a couple more weeks. I had no idea, hadn't read the paper, but I told my mother I thought something was going to happen in the next couple of days because I had never seena nything like this. She then showed me an article in the paper about the tremblors. I don't like this, i don't like it a bit. Hope I am wrong.

Just an interesting note - they are showing a 2.2 at the time my widget said 2.6 and they are not showing a 2.8 here at all. At least not yet.

earthquake.usgs.gov...

I am not suggesting wrong doing -
I am just noting the differences.
Now my widget and I will sign off.
Happy New Year from California!

one more , a few mins ago

1.6 2008/12/31 23:59:39 44.504N 110.340W 0.9 63 km (39 mi) ESE of West Yellowstone, MT

Hey guys there isn't much activity in this thread right now but that is obviously because of it being New Year. Well I am going to head to bed since I can not get much information besides from YellowStone Lake graph. I would really like to get something from Mary Lake but it is still down.

I am sure there are different ways to get the information, specifically from the University but I am too tired to go on a search. So farewell all. I will see all of you tomorrow. Good Night! And a Happy New Year to you all!

whoa, gee's showing me big event just happened at 8:02, LKWY hasn't updated yet...ahh, there we go...wasn't that big I guess but it sure pegged the meters in Gee.

YML was in the middle of what appeared to be serious harmonic tremors when it went down.

I just keep watching all those people out by old faithful and thinking what brave souls.

A few more of the sensors have come back online but alas I got rid of all the drunk people from my bday party and am off to bed
Just throw a rock at me if anything happens

yeah we get it solomons nothing to see here move on

Will check in later people are arriving for my bday party... good luck all

Move on? you would be under 10 foot of ash if it had exploded when the website,webcam etc went down because it *explodedz*

I dont think you fully comprehend the power of a super volcanoe....

-e

If you'd been through the rest of the thread, you'd also see that there's every chance (in fact a greater probability) that is will not be the eruption of the caldera, rather a hydrothermal explosion.

We have never monitored this, so we have no frame of reference, it has never been witnessed, but many have happened since the last eruption. The most recent was about 3000 years ago. It is very likely that the previous eruption of the volcano itself obliterated any evidence of the likely thousands of previous hydrothermal explosive events prior to it. So the many we see now have all happened since.

A hydrothermal explosion will likely be an immense sight to behold, and cause a great deal of damage and increase the likelihood of further events, but it wouldn't immediately cause the destruction of life as we know it.

But you'd know all this if you'd been back through the thread

I have to echo what others have said here. If you are joining this thread please read it through, see the research some have done, see the evidence for yourself and consider everything before posting.
I know it's annoying, but if it doesn't interest you enough to read through it, surely it doesn't interest you enough to comment does it?

If you don't, you risk appearing completely misinformed, and being ignored by those having an up to date discussion about what is going on.

/lecture

So, I've been through the historical files and checked random graphs, and there does seem to be common instances of failure on readings. I guess in that kind of environment faults can happen quite often.
That's probably why we're experiencing the loss of data.

But, you'd think these guys would be jumping up and down about this "once in a lifetime" event and would already have it fixed. It's obviously a software or communications fault as a couple are still on line.

As for the explanations of activity (lame-ass wind), when you compare this new data coming out of the park with the historical records, it just doesn't add up at all.
I feel sorry for anyone who falls for the "official" line of weather causing anomalous readings, that really is insulting the intelligence.

Having looked again at the one station of use, I'll stick by my thoughts of a hydrothermal. Going on probability alone and the fact that we have never seen one go, I'd think this is what it is.

Plus it helps me maintain a healthy sense of denial about any other possibilities. *head, meet sand*

Anyway, happy new year to you all. See you again for an update in a few hours, hopefully with a fully functioning set of stations to look at.

Seems to be more active this morning just looked at it at 10.20 GMT and the black line is showing quite a large movement www.quake.utah.edu... how large is that on the richter scale?

A flurry of bigger events just happened. 3 at shallow depth, but curiously, 1 at 37 km depth. Something's moving down there. And I think the 2.8 (quickly revised to 2.4) might have knocked out a sensor.
