Swarm of Minor Earthquakes In Yellowstone Park WY



A
mong the 24-hour alerts received here at CSW are those of earthquakes.


Of course the destructive 7.0 in Haiti and this morning's downgraded 5.9 aftershock came across within minutes of their occurance.

However- somewhat overlooked has been a swarm of minor earthquakes in the Yellowstone National Park are in Wyoming.

This article in The DENVER (CO) POST on Monday makes note of the quakes with the only change since then being a 3.5 Richter-scale quake that occurred Tuesday in Yellowstone- according to the USGS site.

Swarms of minor quakes are fairly common in the Yellowstone area- the last such reported just a year ago.

Of course- scientists can't say for sure if this is another normal swarm or The Shape of (Worse) Things To Come.

Watch the USGS earthquake list and stay tuned....
