Evacuation Warning! - Yellowstone National Park (Non Official)

reply to post by SANTA CLAWS


Well Santa you went to the wrong thread, because that pretty much sums up this guys inflammatory rhetoric. We, meaning the good people here at ATS, have been keeping tabs on this seismic activity for going on 7 days, over at the Fragile Earth forum. Lots of good info and good posters who aren't spouting off that "Yellowstone is gonna blow!Run for your life!". Go on over there for some real info and debate. Believe me we are keeping a close eye on the situation in that thread, hopefully you will join us.

Peace.

I don't know what part of it you are trying to point out, but it's like the old game. Point out what does not fit with the rest.

"Nevertheless, there is some potential for hydrothermal explosions and earthquakes may continue or increase in magnitude"

This is the part that is the other side of the coin in this statement. Everything else is blah blah blah. As in just the normal facts with no real conclusion, because they already admit they don't know as this is a caldera.

Thanks Earthscum I have that site location right in previous my post. I didn't think that was real at first must of been hell, but the people were tougher back then, we would have to learn all over, at least most.

Thank you anon...

i also seen his name mentioned in the USGS Earthquake seminar guest speaker list. Chris Sanders. not sure if it is for certain the same guy, coincidence? meh... seems to me that he may be some crazy scientist with far out ideas that has some steed in oil and natural gas which would definately account for the chemistry bit. not every scientist out there is a level headed down to earth kinda guy... in fact very few i haver met fit that bill...

Actually you have stated your point and you are in NO position to judge the number of replies ANY thread should or should not have. Nobody is impressed with your abrasiveness either.

Now look at Thursday's report that no longer seems to be directly available. Note that the Wyoming Office Of Homeland Security is reviewing response plans!

December 2008 Yellowstone Earthquake And Ground Deformation Summary

Earthquake Summary:

Yellowstone seismicity increased significantly in December 2008 due to an energetic earthquake swarm that commenced on December 26. This swarm, a sequence of earthquakes clustered in space and time, is occurring beneath the northern part of Yellowstone Lake in Yellowstone National Park. As of this writing, the largest of these earthquakes was a magnitude 3.9 at 10:15 pm MST on Dec. 27. Through 5:00 pm MST on Dec. 31, the sequence had included 12 events of magnitude 3.0 to 3.9 and approximately 20 of magnitude 2.5 to 2.9, with a total of at least 400 events large enough to be located (magnitude ~1 or larger). National Park Service (NPS) employees and visitors have reported feeling the largest of these earthquakes in the area around Yellowstone Lake and at Old Faithful and Grant Village.

The hypocenters of the swarm events cluster along a north-south-trending zone that is about 7 km long. The vast majority of the focal depths are shallower than 5 km. It is not possible to identify a causative fault of other feature without further analysis.

Analysts are currently processing the backlog of seismic data from these events. The current analyst-processed catalog is believed to include all events of magnitude 2.5 and greater through Dec 31 at 5 pm MST, but hundreds of earthquakes remain to be processed. The total of more than 400 locatable events is based on automatically-determined locations and magnitudes for the swarm events.

The December 2008 earthquake sequence is the most intense in this area for some years. No damage has been reported within Yellowstone National Park, nor would any be expected from earthquakes of this size. The swarm is in a region of historical earthquake activity and is close to areas of Yellowstone famous hydrothermal activity. Similar earthquake swarms have occurred in the past in Yellowstone without triggering steam explosions or volcanic activity. Nevertheless, there is some potential for hydrothermal explosions and earthquakes may continue or increase in magnitude. There is a much lower potential for related volcanic activity.

The National Park Service in Yellowstone has been kept fully informed of the ongoing seismic activity via electronic means and by phone contacts with the University of Utah and the U.S. Geological Survey USGS). The Wyoming Office of Homeland Security is reviewing Earthquake Response Plans and monitoring seismic activity.

Earthquakes are a common occurrence in the Yellowstone National Park area, an active volcanic-tectonic area averaging 1,000 to 2,000 earthquakes a year. Yellowstone's 10,000 geysers and hot springs are the result of this geologic activity. A summary of Yellowstone's volcanic history is available on the Yellowstone Volcano Observatory web site (listed below).

The University of Utah operates a seismic network in Yellowstone National Park in conjunction with the National Park Service and the U.S. Geological Survey. These three institutions are partners in the Yellowstone Volcano Observatory. Seismic data from Yellowstone are transmitted to the University in real-time by radio and satellite links from a network of 28 seismographs in the Yellowstone area and are available on the web.

anyone know how often the earthquake info is updated? last update i can find is about 2-3 hours ago.... anyone on here have any real geological backing that they may be able to bestow upon us?

If Yellowstone gets anywhere near going POOF, the EAS system will warn everyone in time to duck and cover...well cept maybe for those of us in the Ground Zero zone.

Cheers!!!!

Really? And how many people died in the Mt. St. Helens blast? Yep, let's rely on the gov. warning sys.

I could care less if you agree with me or not. I didn't come here to make friends though I wouldn't mind to but I am not planning to stay on the good side when I see injustice. I agree something is going on with Yellowstone but that hoaxer has NOTHING to do with what is going on in Yellowstone. And so I will be protesting against the so called geologist so that when new poeple will be joining this thread they will not fall easily into thinking this guy is credible. At least now they have a choice to believe or not to believe.

So now he is wearing an army jacket! So he is geologist and also an army personal showing abandoned military buildings and claiming they were holding a UFO and also were used as a testing ground where they disassembled them etc etc ... This is a HOAX! I know UFOS are real but come on I am not a fool! I can smell BS for miles!

Ok, we got your message about 10 of your posts ago, like you are stuck in a feed back loop or something. I think we know where you stand.

Just like you are stuck in your feedback loop guessing if this geologist is real or not.

The one reason I am not treating this man as a credible geologist, is because he offers no scientific evidence beyond what we already know, he is simply repeating the very basic facts.

He doesn't even mention the possibility of a Hydrothermal Explosion when this is certainly many times more likely than a full eruption of the caldera.

However, if I was living in the immediate area, I would probably have left by now. That would be my choice based on what I know.

I totally agree with your first 2 statements however I think we need more raw data to decide if one should leave the immediate area. You can't just leave because you suspect something might go wrong anytime soon. I don't think eruption will take place instantly. There will be obvious warning signs before it goes off so until then we should watch and see.

and if those warning signs happen while you are sleeping? tell ya what. if you think it is so safe i reccomend taking a trip to yellowstone, or close to it and camping out for a bit. may be a good family vacation for ya.

Hold one one minute!!!! are you a geologist?
Does that mean I can call your statement a HOAX?
You sir have ruined this thread for me.

This is just a one silly proposition you got. So everytime we have some activity somewhere like yellowstone we should leave and run like hell? Unless you live 2 miles away there is no need to worry about it but monitor it's activity. You better worry about food and water supplies if anything.

well whether or not the guy is real or not, I knew moving to cheyenne was a bloody mistake. lol
We watch the land here with our own eyes. I travel between cheyenne and the rest of the state because I am paid to. I work with the land, and forests so I pay attention to alkali content on the surface. West Central Wyoming has had its fair share of Alkali spots all over the bloody plains. Now they are almost gone. Some are springing up as far south as Cheyenne, and into the Weld County Area in North Eastern Colorado. Never seen the likes of them before. Frankly it doesn't matter where you run. If this goes, pretty much the entire North Mountain region of this bloody country is gone.
As for the Wyoming office of Homeless secretaries.... I have noticed one thing in this retarded hell hole. If you are a professional from any place on the planet, and you move to this god foresaken feed lot, you learn, no one bothers listening to the locals here. They are as useful as spent poop.
Frankly I kind of hope it goes off. It will rid the world of a great number of morons, puppets, and child molesters. Why do you think the National Park is using a University out of Utah, instead of out of Wyoming?

maybe he has a well and a generator with enough fuel to power them lights to grow them plants for a few years? how much fuel should be stored by the way? a tanker truck might be sufficient, if you can keep the looters away., might have to hire some body guards, so no one steals you blind, pay them with food you grow...if anything, it's a good way to boost the economy with a scare like this. i think i'm gonna help boost the economy a little myself.

Sure we do... the previous eruptions of Yellowstone... about 600,000 years apart... Its now been 640,000 years so its a little overdue
