Whats going on at yellowstone?

The Yellowstone Volcano Observatory in the recent Status Report doesn't appear to be saying this activity is unusual or alarming.

Swarms of this nature are relatively common in this part of Yellowstone Park.

YELLOWSTONE VOLCANO (CAVW#1205-01-)
44.43°N 110.67°W, Summit Elevation 9203 ft (2805 m)
Volcano Alert Level: NORMAL

Hmm...maybe they should take another look at it. This is alarming, even though swarms are known in that area. This is more then the "average" swarm.

I have been looking at the data that you linked to. It may just be high wind however at about 1200 hrs the background noise increased a great deal. Also there may be a frequency to the small shakes. We need some one who knows what to look for to take a look.

this is the link that I was trying to reply to www.quake.utah.edu...

In my other thread I described before xmas how my father - a prominent UK vulcanologist was flown out to California and subsequently Mt Baker by the USGS - at emergency notice - to work on a project which he isn't allowed to go into detail about.

Basically there was activity at Baker involving increased ground temp. to the point where it melted the ice. Maybe more - he had to stay out there over xmas - unprecedented for my father - a real family man who loves xmas with the family.

No one thought it meant anything - who's laughing now kids! Something is DEFINITELY happening.

I'm glad I'm in the UK where I won't be burnt to death in a pyroclastic flow. Or put into a concentration camp when marshal law breaks out! Got to love the US democracy and readiness for disaster - Katrina anyone?

Yes, I think you are correct.
bowling ball, curling stone,,, what is bigger?
I tried to explain to my kids that the plate tech is like when they scoot and slide the table cloth. Pretty soon a ripple will break and surface.
I hope when this happens that it is more like a slow leek in a tire and not a blow out.
will check back in later.
nice talk with you.

I don't want to doom and gloom everything completely.... but think about it... The gov and several large corporations just made off with all our money... Kinda makes you wonder if they aren't packing up and leaving us to our own devices.

If it blows the earth would have ten years without sunlight. The ash and smoke would take roughly ten years to dissipate. This volcano makes Mount St. Helens look like black cat sittin next to ten pounds of C4. I'm hoping it doesn't pop I only have four weeks of food stored.

I think I replied in your thread I can see Mt Baker quite clearly from where I live in Canada and it didn't appear to have changed from my viewpoint. It's very big and snow covered, giving the illusion it's within very close range.

If your father has any information that the world public should know about.. not just UK or USA, wouldn't it be prudent to get the word out?

I would hope his silence means that nothing is of concern.

Sorry he had to be away for the holidays though.

I really doubt that would ever happen, because what about their families etc. They couldn't be able to bring them either, and I doubt every government official is willing to leave everything behind...

I could however see other governments trying to pull that off. Don't get me wrong im not a big fan of our government to say, I personally believe that a world without governments would be better..but now were getting off topic.

This thing is very unstable, and it always has been, this could be it's breaking point finally. Any webot predictions about it yet??

There is no indication in the post-Christmas Cascades Volcano observations that there is anything wrong at all. Eruption probability would involve more than just increased ground surface temperatures, i.e. be accompanied by earthquake swarms.

I think I will rely on our own world-prominent volcanologists in the U.S. that pack a toothbrush when they travel (even just overnight).

Predictions aside, if the goverment or scientists did know about an imminent earthquake, they most likely wouln't tells us, but we would see a huge movement of political or scientific leaders from mid western states to southern states or even to europe.

There's no way they would risk they're elite in something of that nature.

i'll start worrying when they're sending the Commitee on Foreign Relations and the White House Cabinet members on an "extended vacation" to the other side of the earth.

I hate to tell you, but in the event that Yellowstone should erupt, TPTB will NOT warn us.

An extinction level event or near extinction level event will NEVER be announced - there is no way to evacuate or control the mass panic.

They won't call an evacuation as a precaution ahead of time - most people wouldn't comply anyway, and by the tie they did - because people KNEW it was coming - it would be too late to clear out the area in time.

There are times when TPTB feel that keeping silent is the best option & help the ones who are likely to survive

This afternoon and evening there has been 14 quakes at the park. While this may somewhat normal, I dont understand as to why all of these quakes are centered in Yellowstone Lake. Alot of red squares from USGS. Any seismic activity there raises red flags, but this seems to weird.

You do know that there is a caldera right under it? so we would expect earthquake activity. And an eruption is due (in geological time, which could be tomorrow or could be in centuries)

-rrr

God how ironic would it be that with the way that everything has been going down the pan latley Yellowstone sneaks up behind us and drags the plannet into a nuclear winter. I hope this passes, although have worried about Yellowstone since seeing that terrible movie they discussed I was blissfully unaware of the destructive power the caldera held. Think If we see Obama in Australia on a holiday its time to store up on supplies and kiss the wesetern world goodbye

You do know that reading all the pages in a thread before posting is a good idea, right?

We established that on the first 2 pages.

Back on topic, the area does appear to be quieting down a bit.

There is alot going on shortly in and around our planet. The big officials have been warned by our alien friends but they choose all of them to be silent plus there is not alot that cannot be done and really most people would not believe it. Just like the planet that is also returning in its many year rotation.It is a fact this planet and two moons are comming. These bodys comming this close to the earth and a possibility that one will impact the earth has many countrys wondering what to do? Date 2012 but other things should happen before they come-like earthquakes unheard of for thousands of years.This is also in the bible-warnings! The Maya and others also-look it up don't be blind look this up!All of these underground living spaces you have been hearing about what do you think they are for? The general population must go somewhere? This is not a prank or (BS) check it out.this will effect most of us -be aware! A friend!

Are you looking at the seismograph? It's actually looking like it's getting nastier.

Yeah, it helps when you update pages...

It does look like there are a few more quakes on the way in the area.

You don't have to hate to tell me that, of course they wouldn't issue a warning of an impending disaster of that magnitude.

At this stage I don't see anything to get everybody all worked up about, just because there were EQ swarms. Swarms happen all the time in some active regions around the world. At this stage we can only estimate a major Earthquake or Volcanic Eruption may happen within a given time frame, they cannot be predicted or stopped.

The point is whether or not Yellowstone is swarming with EQ's at the current time, it's always been known it could erupt at any given moment without any warning.
