Do you not get them there, then?

A 3.0? Isn't that about the same as a tractor trailer driving by your house?

The Earth is always moving.

Probably no big deal - cuz Bob Smith says "persistant earth quakes since 1920s"

not like California or Japan now - but a few a year I guess.

Yep totally mild! I'm in San francisco and really only a 4 or over gets noticed.

But because of Yellowstone and because it's 3.0 and thus on the global list - amidst all the Japanese quakes - I thought I'd post it for a record here.

I'd start worrying if there was a few in a row, but that's me and I've no experience of quakes whatsoever.
I don't blame you for being extra aware though. I'm keeping track of everything too and only a fool would be complacent in times like these seem to be.

you should take a look at the quake watch thread. and post this info there .

No need to worry yet I believe, earthquakes are normal in that region, just a bad coincidence with japan and all I would say! I forgot about yellowstone, so I was wondering why you would of posted this!

hisz.rsoe.hu... is showing it.

But they have taken it off of usgs list now.

Even if it was downgraded from 3.0 to 2.9 the list shows 2.5 and over. odd.

Name of area in Yellowstone please?

This is the link I use to th University of Utah

quake.utah.edu...

I have been through all the graphs here, as I have always wanted to know how large the EQ's are there, and I was hoping to find your info on one of the charts so I could work out the massive 'shadow' EQ's that Y'stone had at the same time as the Japanese EQ. However I cannot find anything untoward at any of the charts here at the time stated. Can you tell me the name rather than the co-ordinates of the seismograph that gave this info please?
