It seems that earth is shaking with more frequency than any of us have to take a crap.

Ok, I’m officially worried- usually these experts say “nothing to worry about- happens all the time.”

CHEYENNE, Wyo. - Scientists are closely monitoring more than 250 small earthquakes that have occurred in Yellowstone National Park since Friday.

Swarms of small earthquakes happen frequently in Yellowstone. But Robert Smith, a professor of geophysics at the University of Utah, says it’s very unusual to have so many over several days.

The largest tremor was Saturday and measured magnitude 3.8.

Smith says it’s hard to say what might be causing the tremors but notes that Yellowstone is very geologically active.
