30, 2.5 mag or larger quakes in 4 days is worrisome.............
She’s gonna blow!
“Mark my words...”
Women and minorities will be hardest hit.
Next we’ll need to bail out the earthwquake.
After all we need to run up the tax bill as high as possible. It doesn’t matter if it doesn’t make sense.
I hear liberal papers now want a “bail out”.
BTW, as of right now I am out of the "danger zone" in mid Wisconsin.
That is probably correct,
I’d like to know what the condition/temp of the lake is right now but IIRC it is essentially frozen over.
From here I can’t get the webcams (grrr, grrrr)
I know it is wishfull thinking but I’m hoping that this is just a steam event but from the depth of the quakes (.4km to 3.5km) something appears to be moving, most likey magama, and it’s moving up where the lake is.
this bears watching.

I hope you're joking (about worrying.)
Only about your money................
Good point. I can’t imagine Zero handling this well at all.
Well, we are due...
Ok, not an expert on this at all, maybe someone with more knowledge on this can answer this, just looking at the chart for today so far ( http://www.quake.utah.edu/helicorder/yml_webi.htm ) and it seems very ‘noisy’ compared to the previous days. Does that looks strange or is it because of something artifical in the background?
Bump for later. If you have a ping list, please add me. All kidding aside...this is very serious.
"When the geiser activity changes they will really start to worry."
I would, too..........
I hope Yogi and Bubu are OK.
No we're not.

Is it true that the next caldera-forming eruption of Yellowstone is overdue?
No. First of all, one cannot present recurrence intervals based on only two values. It would be statistically meaningless. But for those who insist... let's do the arithmetic. The three eruptions occurred 2.1 million, 1.3 million and 0.64 million years ago. The two intervals are thus 0.8 and 0.66 million years, averaging to a 0.73 million-year interval. Again, the last eruption was 0.64 million years ago, implying that we are still about 90,000 years away from the time when we might consider calling Yellowstone overdue for another caldera-forming eruption. Nevertheless, we cannot discount the possibility of another such eruption occurring some time in the future, given Yellowstone's volcanic history and the continued presence of magma beneath the Yellowstone caldera.
If a lava channel opens up, it would be better that it NOT open up under the lake, resulting in the lake contents meeting with lava resulting in a steam explosion.
