More Earthquakes Rattle Yellowstone
January 20, 2010
The Denver Post

A 3.5-magnitude earthquake hit Yellowstone National Park on Tuesday afternoon as a swarm of earthquakes that started Sunday intensified.

The earthquake occurred at 2:32 p.m., according to scientists.

A woman at the West Yellowstone Montana Chamber of Commerce said the earthquake created a "rumble like a truck driving down the road."

Al Nash, spokesman for Yellowstone National Park, said that 469 earthquakes since Sunday had been recorded as of 3 p.m. Tuesday.

So far, scientists monitoring the swarm say the tremors seem to be normal tectonic activity. However, they continue to keep an eye on the situation.

Yellowstone Rumblings: Nothing to Fear?
By Pat Dawson

The Yellowstone caldera was created by an enormous super-volcanic explosion 640,000 years ago. Ever since, the area has been the the site of earthquake activity. Indeed, a map of the historic seismicity of the region over the last 20 years shows swarms of dots much like so many busy bees.

On Monday, a swarm of nearly 500 earthquakes on the western edge of Yellowstone National Park began. Though they increased in frequency and intensity Tuesday, experts who monitor the area say they did not warrant emergency measures. A little over one year ago, there was some concern over a series of quakes centered around the north shore of Yellowstone Lake, which overlays some of the ancient, yet still simmering, Yellowstone Caldera. (See why a spurt of quake activity raised fears in Yellowstone.) <a href=http://www.time.com/time/printout/0,8816,1954938,00.html>continued</a>

Yellowstone Update For February 2010

Diary Entry by William Cormier
The recent earthquake swarms at Yellowstone's "Super Volcano" are the longest spate of these swarms to hit Yellowstone in recent memory. The USGS is downplaying these earthquake swarms as "normal," and it's possible they are. The truth is that our knowledge of Super Volcanoes is extremely limited; there has not been an eruption of a Super Volcano in recorded history, and as dangerous as this phenomena is (Super Volcanoes), there is no established scientific record that scientists can use to properly evaluate whether or not an eruption is eminent. <a href=http://www.opednews.com/populum/diarypage.php?did=15762>continued</a>

Rare Yellowstone volcano eruption would be deadly

(AFP) –

WASHINGTON — As ash from an Iceland volcano snarled air travel across Europe, experts said an eruption of the 'supervolcano' at the Yellowstone national park would be deadly, though it is unlikely any time soon. <a href=http://www.google.com/hostednews/afp/article/ALeqM5hr5akS8HifqPMQQPlYaTReP_XKrA>continued</a>

Utah earthquakes leading up to volcanic action?
y James Thalman

Deseret News
Published: Friday, April 16, 2010
Large earthquakes — above 4 on the Richter Scale — are occurring in Utah at about a normal rate, but geologists say it seems much higher.

Thursday evening's quake on the Utah/Wyoming border is number 27 so far this year in Utah. That one near Randolph was one of the strongest in the state in 75 years, according to seismic station reports, the U.S. Geological Survey and professional quake watchers. <a href=http://www.deseretnews.com/article/700025211/Utah-earthquakes-leading-up-to-volcanic-action.html>continued</a>

It is going to take a natural event of great magnitude for the US to change course
But it is coming
"Plunderers of the world, when nothing remains of the lands to which they have laid waste by indiscriminate thievery, they search out across the seas. The wealth of another excites their greed, and its poverty their lust of power. Nothing from the rising to the setting of the sun can satiate them. They alone are as compelled to attack the poor as they are the wealthy. Robbery, rape, and slaughter they falsely call empire; and where they create a desolate waste, they call it peace."

I'm thinking Dec 21, 2012 is a likely date for the big event... :D

Is the world's largest super-volcano set to erupt for the first time in 600,000 years, wiping out two-thirds of the U.S.?

By Daniel Bates
Last updated at 12:16 PM on 25th January 2011

* The super-volcano beneath Yellowstone National Park in Wyoming has been rising at a record rate since 2004

It would explode with a force a thousand times more powerful than the Mount St Helens eruption in 1980.
