Yellowstone Super Volcano Fast Asleep: Nothing To Worry About For The Next 10,000 – 20,000 Years.

Vatic Note: This is another subject I know very little about except that I visited their several times and was in awe of the majesty and wonderment of it as a natural place of beauty and violence.   Hot Geysers shoot  off every  once in a while, you can see and hear them.  Wild life is abundant there, and no pollution, except for chemtrails on some days. 

I had heard it was an unusual kind of Volcano, called Domed volcano which means its more of a surface volcano than a mountain volcano which are a lot more volatile than other volcanoes and can affect whole states around them if they were to go off.   Actually the scientists say it could affect the entire globe.

I suspect that is why we are hearing about them now, it helps to promote fear and used to keep us  out of our creative brain and keep us into the fight or flight brain (Limbic brain, or lizard brain).   That is considered the safe mode for the "sheep" where the ravenous wolves who run our country were concerned.  

Its worth a trip to see this place before any other geological changes takes place and I am also sure a space weapon could make it go off if  those in control of them, wished.  But I bet they don't "wish" such things, becuase then their underground facilities would be rendered useless to them and they would have to suffer with us up here.  LOL  The good news is, the scientists who have expertise in this field have said that we have nothing to worry about.  Lets hope they are right.

A sleeping supervolcano shook up Yellowstone National Park early this morning at 6:34 a.m. and registered a 4.8 magnitude earthquake, but geologists say the shake up should be of no concern. The tremor rattled the border between Wyoming and Nevada, nearly in the center of the historic park, near the Norris Geyser Basin. The last earthquake of this magnitude occurred thirty years ago in 1985.
Scientists report that if the super volcano erupted it would decimate the United States with ash and affect the entire earth. Many people are concerned about seismic activity, suspecting the super volcano is due for an eruption.
Peter Cervelli of The US Geological Survey says this particular rattle is nothing to worry about and the caldera is not about to erupt.
The earthquake is interesting though because of the amount of time between the two strongest tremors. The data scientists will collect from the event will add to the insight of volcanoes and tectonics, he added. But this particular super volcano is still sleeping and should bring no concern.

Since the shake occurred at such an early morning hour, there were not very many visitors in attendance, and no injuries have been reported. A spokesman for the USGS Yellowstone Volcano Observatory has said the earthquake also resulted in no significant damage and is not expected to produce any volcanic activity, because the volcanic caldera is considered dormant.

Four aftershocks reverberated throughout the park overnight, with strengths ranging from 2.5 to 3.3 magnitudes, the last shake at 9:12 MDT. There were also two foreshocks, the first, a 2.0 at 12:23 a.m. and the second a 3.0 at 4:36 a.m. The main shock, which registered at 4.8, was reportedly felt throughout the national park and in the nearby towns of West Yellowstone and Gardiner, Montana.

A series of tremors and shakes were also felt in Oklahoma between Saturday night and Sunday morning, the latest in the series  was recorded at 7:49 a.m. in the morning and registered at 3.2. The largest quake, registering a 4.5 magnitude, occurred about 12 miles north of Crescent, Oklahoma.

Earthquakes are common for this area. At least 25 have been recorded since the Yellowstone area became a national park. Records indicate anywhere from one to 20 rumbles a day, but they remain rather docile in magnitude.

The immense Yellowstone Plateau has been watched and scrutinized closely by geologists in recent years, and there is evidence that the molten rock within the underground magma chamber is slowly expanding. Yellowstone has also been rising on an average of a few inches per year, which is three times higher than in 1923 when measurement recordings began.

The worst earthquake to ever hit Yellowstone was on August 17th, 1959. The Hebgen Lake Earthquake registered a 7.3-7.5 magnitude. It was a deadly event with 28 victims and causing $11 million in damages to timber and highways.

Although geologists are convinced no other super volcano activity is suspected in Yellowstone, there are still many concerned citizens, especially after the earthquake activity Friday in Southern California. There is an updated log of earthquakes as they happen available from the U.S. Geology Survey for those interested.
