Yellowstone Volcano-Related Earthquake Swarm?

USGS ^ | unpublished | Self

[Oscar in Batangas]

37 quakes -one was 5.3 on the Richter scale- NE of Soda Springs, Idaho (southwest of Yellowstone) in the past 7 hours.

Close enough to be of possible concern?)

Suspicious action from a fairly quiet area.

Just went to "Dutchsense" and he's reporting a nuclear test in North Korea or maybe just a quake at their test site. It's a livestream capture about 2 minutes in.

[GOPJ]

Ten times more powerful than the last nuclear test? Maybe we hit North Korea...

[where's_the_Outrage?]

If we would just fix global warming which is the root cause of these swarms it would not be an issue.

[HLPhat]

More data to manufacture and manipulate perception with.

Remember when ignorance was bliss?

Thanks Algore /s

Would you really expect them to say anything different? If they knew absolutely that it was going to erupt next week I doubt they’d tell us. But, they’d probably bug out to Australia themselves.

That’s what to watch for. Did the big wigs at the USGS leave town.

This article starts off with the statement about no concern.

Not related to North Korea, the Yellowstone swarm started back in June.

I am more interested in the convergence of ominous warnings God seems to be sending our nation on a daily basis.

- Eclipse
- Hurricane Harvey and Irma possibly on the way
- Yellowstone
- North Korea ICBM (looks like they now possess plutonium weapons spiked with tritium, and the EMP threat is also out there)

God never sends destruction before sending warnings:

Amos 3:7 - For the Lord God does nothing without revealing his secret to his servants the prophets.

Luke 21:25 - And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars; and upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity; the sea and the waves roaring

I am VERY concerned these days for our nation.

While the media has the American populace obsessed with "Dreamer Immigrant Rights", "Russia Collusion", "White Nationalism", and other garbage - we could be on the precipice of a disaster coming our way. How much longer can our nation descend into moral depravity before God sends His judgment?

I was reading articles about the Burning Man "festival" in Nevada. The media reported on paganism, orgies, drug abuse, and outright Satanism like it was a picnic. They were not even fazed by what they were reporting.

Pray for our nation.

This is a really good site for all types of events world wide. You can zoom in and get a lot of info when you choose a specific alert.

I think that would give us a chance.

[Oscar in Batangas]

Just yesterday Mrs. OiB was speculating that we are sure getting a lot of warnings. I replied that we’re very close to being past the warning phase and may be in the early chastisement phase.

IMO, people need to avoid the “Chicken Little” syndrome “The Sky is falling, the sky is falling”. There is absolutely NOTHING, ZERO any of us can do to prevent an earthquake where ever it may occur. If you prefer to move away from a potential area as the earths bowels rumble, so be it.

[mewzilla]

FWIW, I’ll get worried if things go very, very, quiet.

For now, it’s just Mother Nature adjusting her girdle.

Eclipse’s fault.
Revealed to me in all seriousness by numerous millennials, all of them college students. :(

If only Trump had joined the Paris Climate Accord this wouldn’t be happening.

This article starts off with the statement about no concern.

But they don't seem to mention the very latest activity either. The one at the top of this thread referring to a 5.3 earthquake. They seem to only be mentioning the 4.4 back in June of this year as the strongest of the recent.

From your linked article...

Yellowstone has now been hit by a record breaking 2,300 earthquakes since June

• Most powerful event was a 3.3 magnitude event on August 21 
• Most powerful in current swarm was a 4.4, which was recorded on June 15
• Experts say the risk of an eruption remains low, with alert level at normal

[deadrock]

If it goes, every where will be too close.

[ETL]

Thanks. Will check it out.

A local volcanologist was very clear that this doesn’t come anywhere close to a pre-eruption warning.

1) No substantial magma shift in either the shallow magma chamber, with lower pressure about 9 miles down, or the much larger deep magma chamber 12 to 28 miles deep.

2) No obvious venting or increase in surface energy release, or volcanic gases killing foliage.

3) About 70,000 years ago, there was a slow, non explosive lava release, and none of that either.

4) Every decade or two, there are earthquake swarms like this, of little concern unless the earthquakes are much stronger.

[Oscar in Batangas]

Thanks for your input. That’s the kind of expert I was hoping to hear from in my original post!

[Mr. Jeeves]

Matter of fact they put the odds of an eruption at 1 to 766,000. I wish they would let me take that bet. Here’s my dollar. More apt to win this than the lottery.

If you win, there will be nobody left to collect from.
