I think there are small tremors quite often in Yellowstone. But it is rather scary knowing I live between it and the coast that they keep telling us is going to fall off into the ocean.

Don’t worry, prevailing winds will make everything go east from where you are.

Been awhile since that area has recorded this much activity.

Looks like a little swarm if you note the webicorders. Something to watch for awhile, that and the Jets game...lol

Earthquake activity in the Yellowstone region is at relatively normal background levels.

From the USGS Yellowstone Volcano Observatory for 1/10.

If west of Yellowstone, you are up wind and safe

Due to the volcanic and tectonic nature of the region, the Yellowstone Caldera experiences between 1000 and 2000 measurable earthquakes a year, though most are relatively lesser, measuring a magnitude of 3 or weaker. Occasionally, numerous earthquakes are detected in a relatively short period of time, an event known as an earthquake swarm. In 1985, more than 3000 earthquakes were measured over several months. More than 70 smaller swarms have been detected between 1983 and 2008. The USGS states that these swarms are caused by movements of magma and hydrothermal fluids.[10] The most recent swarm occurred in December 2008 and continued into January 2009, with more than 500 quakes detected under the northwest end of Yellowstone Lake over a seven day span, with the largest registering a magnitude of 3.9.[11][12]

Oh, you dont have as much to worry about as the people who live east of Yellowstone. There are bentonite layers over 300ft thick in NE Wyoming and NW SD. They commercial mine them to make kitty litter and cosmetics.

That was Yellowstones last eruption.
