The last nine quakes have all been over 2.0, with two of them being over 3.0

What is the source for this chart?

Thank you, for posting it.

You're quite welcome. I got it here:

http://www.tetonwyo.org/em/nav/201723.asp?date=7/9/2008

Lots of interesting data on that site.

And just FYI, experts predict that along with women and minorities, White Lions may be hardest hit...

Maybe Texas should be more worried than Wisconsin.

First, Texas doesn't worry about anything.

Second, Texas has one fewer Feingold representing it in the Senate than Wisconsin does.

We'll take our chances with a mega-volcano over a Democrat in Congress any day.

You can not count on the ash to fall in the pattern that is illustrated on that MSM illustration. It does not take into account how wind and weather patterns have changed over the last 600,000 years nor the motion of the continent.

If Yellowstone blew it’s top today look at where the jet stream would take the ash off to.

You won’t have to pay your mortgage if Yellowstone erupts...Your mortgage company will be toast and so will their records, most of which are stored in “safe” vaults in the Rockie Mountains...............

From what I’ve studied about this volcano, none of Wisconsin is out of the danger zone? The ash fall out would be up to 1 meter as far away as western Indianna. Even here in SE Ohio we’d get up to 5 mm of ash which if it gets wet becomes virtually cement.

Nifty - the picture updates when you hit F5 - it went from 296 at 10:05 to 297 at 11:00:03.

And there’s been a 3.4 within the past hour, biggest since Wednesday.

I see the previous ashfall maps which cover several states. But the maps do not show what the depth in inches or feet the ashfall would be.

How deep would the ashfall be near Yellowstone?

How deep would the ashfall be at the edge of ashfall zone hundreds of miles away?

“That 600 km radius around the caldera will experience total devastation. The next 600 km out may receive as much as 5-10 feet of ash, depending on wind direction.”

Yeah, it IS much noisier. The activity seems to have intensified beyond that of the last several days.

All scales are the same: 100 microvolts per vertical division.

Momaw, don't know. Chris_bdba appears to have studied on this and might be able to say.

It is impossible to quantify the depth of the ash fall because it is not possible to quantify the eruption. The eruption power is a variable.

If you visit the South Dakota Badlands you can see the ash beds that look like small mountains. The depth can be measured in tens of feet.

The event will be catastrophic if a severe eruption.

If Yellowstone blew it’s top today look at where the jet stream would take the ash off to.

I think the atmospheric heating caused by the plume would cause a low pressure area in the vicinity of the eruption, and bring in Arctic high pressure from the north. It would get a bit colder in northern plains and points east as the Polar High moved in, but that would tend to bump the ashfall/debris plume to the south.
