Oh no, Yellowstone May have been awakened by the 8.8

I just wanted to say thanks to you TrueAmerican for the time you put into this stuff.

I respect you and follow your threads closely.. although I do not speak much.

Hopefully Yellowstone does not blow in any of our lifetimes, I do not believe you are a fear mongerer.. just a relayer of information that you find.

Then they would be foolish perhaps.

Matey? Nothing wrong with that. I am certainly not going to call you Marra.

I agree. I would rather TA brought this up and we looked at it than just ignored it. Not sure I personally would have started a thread on it until confirmed but then that might just be the stiff British upper lip.

The guy on the Alex Jones show warned us, where were you guys when he tried to TELL US?

I hope all you skeptics are happy now.

Yellowstone is showing serious seismic activity now, and it appears to be originating from the park.

Umm, help?

Oh no... Pray peoples.

We can't see much of anything right now cause of all the huge S-waves. Will need further confirmation....BUT THIS DOES NOT LOOK GOOD.

Your unsubstantiated reports of Yellowstone acting up do more harm than good. So in that sense, your right, it does not look good. It is the type of cry wolf mentality that gets people hurt or killed when there really is something going on that they need to be made aware to take precautions for themselves and their families. So I ask, where's your evidence?

Thank you Puterman...this will help me get to sleep. (I hope)

I just can't get over all the thousands of people that died today. God bless them all and everyone impacted.

well said! I have been saying this all day on this thread.

Well that is good news.

And regarding the Japanese earthquake... guess what happened yesterday?

NOAA: Sudden geomagnetic pulse expected between 0645 and 0745 UTC today. #propagation 1:41 AM Mar 10th via TweetDeck

And then less than 12 hours later... BOOOOOOOOM. Connection... I think so.

What on earth? Since when can we predict this? This is news to me. Is NOAA predicting the earthquake here?

can you add the link?'

No I think the OP did good. If you read critically he uses key words and phrases like 'appears' and 'needs confirmation'. His position was clearly tentative. Nothing wrong with that.

You on the other hand have been a jerk.

reply to post by yrwehere1


You know what? He obviously saw something that scared him....it scared me to.

This had absolutely nothing to do with fear MONGERING but fear itself. Never once did he claim it was erupting, or even the he was absolutely sure of what was going on. I honestly thought they looked local and there were several through-out the night (small) that I am sure were.

I am going to wait and see if anything further develops today...for now,I am relaxing a bit after Puterman's reasurance.

There is nothing wrong with alerting other to potential danger and then investigating it. I believe the tone of the original post was due to the OP's legitimate reaction during a time of historical tragedy.

Let's not attack each other...there is enough going on in the world right now without that.

I am praying for everyone affected and that nothing further comes of this horrific quake/tsunami and that the pacific coast remains silent...the park settles and the midwest reamins calm.

Good night all

There isn't anything of significance going on at Yellowstone locally, the seismos were misread by OP.

Here is an accurate view from USGS

earthquake.usgs.gov...

earthquake.usgs.gov...

seeing as some people on this thread prefer to believe their own make believe than facts from USGS and professionals in this area, maybe you would believe a poster that appears to be your pseudo guru Puterman who just posted that there isn't any activity locally at Yellowstone.

Sorry this is just not true. I have personally witnessed the removal of a YellowStone earthquake a couple of weeks ago. It was a 4.2 EQ, and it was listed on the website. I got excited, and posted the link on Facebook. Then I got stoned by people because the link didn't work. I clicked on it, and then I witnessed it! The EQ had been removed.

This has been discussed by many people as well, this is almost factual that USGS deletes, hides, and downgrades EQs. This is not a reliable source anymore.

all hippie propaganda aside, this event sure is interesting to follow.

If one can steel themselves to the online insanity that accompanies the events of Mar 10th/11th (so far!) as well as retain the ability to think logically about what MIGHT (but prob won't happen), I agree with you 105%.

I just heard that Japan got 10-15mins warning. I wonder what kind of warning a supervolcano gives because I'd have to go stock up on beer.

And another warning here? Can you provide a link for this? Since when do we have warnings for earth quakes. Have I missed something?

These readings are clearly echo related. Its just picking up the original earthquake and its tremors. Sensors all around the world routinely detect earthquakes from all over the planet. I really doubt anything major is happening or has been triggered at Yellowstone. It will certainly erupt someday but that could be many many years from now.

Westcoast, TA and Puterman,
I don't contribute alot but follow your threads. Even though I am guilty of having CNN on today, it was your posts where I gleaned the most information and will continue to do so through all these terrible natural disasters the world is suddenly facing every day.

Anybody can get a degree Puterman, but very few can do what you do and you're not the excited weatherman jumping up and down knowing you're going to get more air time today.

Thank you guys and Robin too. YOU have become my MSM.

The USGS removes earthquakes and also will not post earthquakes until reviewed by a geologist. They take their sweet time some days on those evaluations.
Live seismic feeds are the way to go.

Funny thing is, I am probably happier than any of you that there is no ht in the park. That's what I was worried about. Check LKWY, if you care to.

Did anyone ever see the words "MAY" and "Need further confirmation" ?

Well, that's why they were there. But at the time, in the midst of the biggest S-waves I've ever seen clogging up the seismos, it appeared to me there were local events happening coming from somewhere in the park. So, I was wrong says PuterMan, and I can live with it. But am not in total agreement with that for all stations, and you still have the problem of the person that corroborated feeling tremors. Have fun telling that person they are a liar, because to me they are telling the truth. You just haven't found them yet PM. We'll see if anything happens in the next days ahead.

Bummer isn't it and I understand where you are coming from. It is however very easy to see if they are lying through their teeth. You have to get the waveform of the earthquake time and look at it. We do not get to see the same data as the USGS (conspiracy?) but never the less the data for say a 4.2 quake would be VERY difficult to remove from the huge number of waveforms that would contain it, if indeed it could be done convincingly. My interest was in the reason this happened, on this and many other occasions, and you can see the results of my email to the USGS here:

qvsdata.wordpress.com...

This has been discussed by many people as well, this is almost factual that USGS deletes, hides, and downgrades EQs

Deletes - yes if they are not actually earthquakes. (See link above). Hides? No not really possible. Downgrades? Well I am not going to argue with you on that point. I do sometime wonder why some quakes get downgraded but you know what. I thought it was just USGS doing it since the EMCS quakes seemed to be higher more often. When I looked at a years worth of data from both sources I found that actually they do about as much downgrading as each other. They also upgrade - the big Japan quake being an example as it was reported first as 7.9

This is not a reliable source anymore.

Believe me it is more reliable than some!

No worries TA... even if your initial post was a little bit dramatic I think it's understandable and certainly doesn't justify a condemnation of the info you've provided. I think I would've been just a wee bit excited myself...

Keep up the good work and remain dilligent!

Since I don't know where that person was or at that time that was I cannot comment on that, and I did say there may have been 1 quake.

If you want me to pull other seismos i will. By the way YML came in as 455 separate file! Don't know why that should be.

reply to post by westcoast
I'm not slamming you or TA, but as a newer member of ATS, I'm not that familiar with either of you or your posts to say that you are credable posters. And you have been on here long enough to know that some people will star and flag anything, so that's not a reliable stat for judging credability. I reserve the right to judge who I find credable or not, as we all should.

I am glad that he responded with source material and links so I could go to those sites and see for myself what he was looking at, although I had to look up some of the things to obtain a better understanding of them, that was no problem. And after looking at the graphs, etc, it would appear that we have a problem developing. Hopefully it will turn out to be nothing.

Thanks for the info!
