Yellowstone Seismic Activity

[Okieman]

This thread is for reporting times when the Yellowstone Caldera is active. End of last year there was a seismic swarm which caused quite a lot of buzz.

I check a few USGS sites periodically to see what is happening. More an active curiosity sort of thing. Today when I checked, it appears to be a bit more seismic activity of a sudden than normal. Check it out for yourself if interested. The last link has an interesting bump in the Lake Yellowstone water discharge level. I checked, and it has not rained over the past four or five days (unless I made a mistake with the weather data). A bulge in the caldera could cause a change in water discharge from the lake. I'm not a geologist, but rather just a curious by-stander.

Re: Yellowstone Seismic Activity

Yes, those geysers, etc. are reacting again. See post: http://www.flutrackers.com/forum/showthread.php?t=139345

That makes it at least 44 years of documented cases.
