Satellite imagery, gps stats, and a whole bunch of stuff definitely suggest that Yellowstone could very well be in trouble soon. Like the park floor has gone UP 8 inches in the last few months, while the surrounding area has dropped.

8” in the last few months? How far from normal is that?

Yellowstone just had a 3.6 and 15 min later a 3.7

Look at theUSA earthquake map. There is an arc formed by quakes, Yellowstone, Utah, New Mexico, Oklahoma, Arkansas, Madrid, Tennesee.

There are new signatures on YMR webicorder that suggests to me anyways, harmonic responses. This activity is quite well associated with magma flow.

During the first day of activity I notices a few minute period of harmonic tremors but hardly any since. However since 9am this morning there has been a marked increase in this type of response.

There has been an update today. They are now reporting there have been more. (from same source.)

Since Sunday, there have been 901 measured earthquakes underneath Yellowstone National Park. The largest has been of magnitude 3.8. The swarm is now comparable to an earthquake swarm located in the Yellowstone Lake area a year ago.
