Over 1,000 earthquakes rattle Yellowstone in July in ‘doozy’ of month, geologists say

The region hit that number largely in part to seven earthquake swarms, including a massive swarm that rattled the region starting July 15.

The swarm, which was centered beneath Yellowstone Lake, had more than 764 quakes. The largest was a magnitude 3.6 on July 16.

Swarms are typical in Yellowstone and account for about half of the total seismic activity in the region, USGS said. Larger swarms have happened before in Yellowstone.

In 2017, more than 1,100 earthquakes shook the region in June, in part because of a swarm of more than 2,400 quakes that lasted three months... In 1985, more than 3,000 quakes shook the area.

It’s a live volcano. Earthquakes are to be expected.

Swarms are a known precursor to eruptions. If that Caldera blows, America is gone. Kaput.

All this pearl clutching over global warming and other nonsense doesn’t even come close to the danger that is developing with Yellowstone.

Just the same, don't make it livid. We've got enough problems right now.

Oh my! Maybe this is it! Again.

Oh well, better to die of natural causes than the suicidal pathway this nation is on.

Major ground deformation (measured in feet, not millimeters), hydrothermal explosions, geysers going dry, a shallow M6 earthquake, would be real warning signs. Or yeah, and dogs lying down with cats.

If it’s the 10,000 year big one I’m sure the Kremlin and the Chicoms have a plan. It won’t stop with Taiwan.

On the plus side, if the Yellowstone volcano erupted, it might divert the attention of the media from non-stop Covid yapping.

As a young teen, I remember visiting the caldera with my folks. The park ranger giving the tour explained that the mountain range visible some 30 miles away, on the other side of a vast plain, was the other side of the volcanic rim. Mind blown.

If they want any suggestions for sacrificing humans to the volcano gods.
I have plenty.

You know what “doozy” is? I’m going to say it anyway.

It’s actually Duezie, from how great the Duesenberg automobile was. Unfortunately, it is another example of negativism creep wherein it seems people only use it to describe something really bad.

Awwwwwwww. We’re sorry. You didn’t win.

In order to be considered valid, invoking the Bible HAS to get done in the first TEN posts, and MUST include an exact citation of book, chapter and verse.

Your post was Number 11, which MIGHT be excused if the thread were about Spinal Tap, but it’s not.

Please, play again soon.
