Oh no, Yellowstone May have been awakened by the 8.8

See that post and the one above it for screenshots.

It is not stopping. Something has awoken, but I cannot be sure of exactly where in Yellowstone yet. Some are coming from around the lake area, and others appear to be coming from the southwest of the park. I am just not sure where yet. Patience, folks.

Thanks Westcoast. It must be difficult to see the quakes in all that mess, but if you know what you're looking for it certainly helps.
(I hope you gave your dog a nice treat.)

Click on the label, not the red dot.

It seems there's some activity there, not sure what it is. But there's one station (YPP) that doesn't seem to show any significant activity, strange.

Here is a link to what you may want to do if you are in an "ash fall" zone.

Just seeing the immediate video there will surely be much much more. SCARY

This appears to have been posted earlier in the evening, so unrelated to Japan?

I'm assuming there's a typical time it takes for the P waves to travel the distance, if anyone's been keeping track... I was actually just thinking about this earlier tonight, before this happened, that's why I asked. Since there's a correlation, it might be beneficial if people without access to GEE knew what sort of timeframe to expect the triggering of quakes at Yellowstone with relation to these quakes off Japan.

I have been an avid eq watcher for years, and there are a number of amazing experts here on ATS, and IMO, that does include TrueAmerican and westcoast amongst several others. Much respect for their work on a number of threads, always backed up with great data and well researched information.

Have large eq's in the past caused activity at Yellowstone before? I know there is the huge Yellowstone thread, but I was wondering if someone happened to know the answer. Thanks.

You said you predicted this potentially... here is a thread where someone dreamed of the Japan quake.

Can you link your prediction and even post it in that thread thanks

Ok, I think after looking at this activity more, much of it now appears to teleseismic. But I am not sure on that. Man, too bad PuterMan is asleep- boy is HE gonna get a rude awakening.

Basically, the HUGE S-waves from this thing are so big that they are creating the appearance of local quakes for SOME of these. Others, as posted in the previous screen on page 1, those are indeed local, and I can tell because of the attack on the waveforms. Let's just keep our fingers crossed and hope like crazy the park can handle it and simmers down.

Went outside for a smoke and the animals(dogs, coyotes) are going crazy. Could be I have never been out at 2am before and heard it..but it is nonstop.

Phew, well that is some good news at least. Thanks for being here to cover the event TrueAmerican, and yes, Puterman will be getting a rude awakening.

Do you know the depth of the Japanese quake TA.?

I am in california and all my dogs are fine. none trying to run none hiding. I wouldn't worry to much if it happens no amount of worry will change what we must do.

TA....the one coming through right now is local, isn't it? quite long....

The 8.9 was 24.4km deep

earthquake.usgs.gov...

So far since the 8.9 there have been 12 aftershocks, ranging from 5.8 to 7.1

Depth for 8.9 was 24.4 km, most of the aftershocks were around same distance

Mother Nature sure is angry!!!!

I'm confused, since according to the person that posted on this link: www.rumormillnews.com... , there's been increased activity prior to today's Japan quake.

Unlike a lot of countries, I think Japan has handled this pretty well.

There are 8 deaths reported and I think that the oil refinery that was on fire just exploded.

Anyways, I hope that everyone near there is safe.

She sure is. my heart goes out to all those people. Peace star.
