Strongest Quake In 29 Years Hits Yellowstone

via TWC

The magnitude-4.8 earthquake struck inside the park boundaries at 6:34 a.m. MDT Sunday. The epicenter was near the middle of the par, near the Norris Geyser Basin, according to Peter Cervelli of the U.S. Geological Survey.

The quake, the largest since another 4.8 tremor in 1985, was preceded by two foreshocks measuring 2.8 and 3.0 at 12:23 a.m. and 4:36 a.m. Sunday, respectively. The main shock was then followed by at least four aftershocks ranging in magnitude from 2.5 to 3.3 later Sunday morning.

There were no immediate reports of damage. There are few visitors in the park this time of year.

Troubling signs seeing these quakes in LA and now Yellowstone.  I don’t include places like Oklahoma because those have everything to do with fracking and nothing to do wit natural tectonics even though OK has had hundreds of quakes in the last month.   Not surewhat it means, I’m no geologist but I’d say there is something brewing down below.  What say you?
