More than 900 earthquakes at Yellowstone in two weeks?

Ok...if Yellowstone averages 2ooo-3000 quakes each year, then I see why geologists are paying attention to 900 in about two weeks. I find it interesting to watch the quakes at Yellowstone in connection to ones in Califorina. They do seem to be relatives, of sort. People are claiming to have seen harmonic tremors on the seismothingamajigs (I do know the real word and the spelling but I liked this one better).....but from what I can read....harmonic tremors are the FINAL warning and the eruption is immediate. Not days, weeks or months...but almost immediate. Now maybe I need to keep studying on this, but that is what I have seen in all my searches. Gosh, how I wish I had listened to my Mother all those years back telling me to go to college before I got married and had babies. Geology...specifically earthquakes and volcanoes so intrigue me. You could study on them all your lives....and never master it. They are mysteries of the earth. Is it possible that all quakes....all over the world are interconnected? I get an email with all the earthquakes all over the world. I have noticed a trend....they run in cycles. There will be hundreds...or thousands in a short time world wide...then quiet for a while. What about volcanoes? Is there one big pot in the middle of the earth with magma that branches out to volcanoes? Are the branches like drains that get clogged...then BLOW? The SUPER VOLCANOES are of the greatest interest to me. How they lay hidden to human knowledge....and now geologists say Yellowstone had a massive eruption 640k years ago. Now don't get me wrong....but just HOW do they KNOW it was 640k years ago? I would like a time and date too....lol. OH but wait...there was a smaller eruption 70k years ago. Now I am fairly sure they can predict the size of those eruptions...but the years? I just dunno. I really do have a deep interest in the Yellowstone Caldera. It is a very restless, very large entity that can get the attention of geologists and internet bloggers alike. The thing is, geologists know so little about it......while most internet bloggers are experts. We could never be prepared for the devastation it could unleash. Still, we strive to learn about it. Predict it. While no matter what we learn, it will not likely be passed on to many future generations once she blows.....and blow she will. Eventually. What I have discovered is that they have been quite concerned about this restless giant for some time now. Of course, everything is downplayed with current events....but I found an article that talks about the bulge...and what it could mean. Seems to be from a very reputable magazine....GeoTimes. Actually, I found a few articles and will share them with you......BUT.....when you read the May 2006 edition, keep this thought in your head: If they have only known it was a volcanoe or caldera....since the early 60's....then they have only been monitoring it for eruption purposes for some 40 odd years. How much did it change before that?Geotimes - August 2004 - Pressure shifts in Yellowstone, Geotimes - May 2006 - Yellowstone's moving magma, and the last link I am wanting to share with seems to only want to link right in the middle of everything I have typed so far. Can't figure out volcanoes...and cannot always figure out computers either. Enjoy the articles. I found them very interesting....especially the May 2006. Oh...and if you want one website that has just a plethora of information....some fact..some opinion....be sure to visit: The Yellowstone Newspaper. Now that linked perfectly...go figure. Until next time, keep your eyes toward Yellowstone! She IS gonna blow. Geotimes - November 2007 - Yellowstone and Heise: Supervolcanoes That Lighten

Yellowstone, it IS gonna blow!

I have done a lot of internet searching on Yellowstone lately and found a lot of very good information. What have I learned from it? We still have no clue when this thing is gonna blow and that there is nothing we can do to stop it. So, what are ya gonna do? If you are really concerned and you live near there, move. I live in Georgia and I just happen to have plastic (pre-cut to fit my windows and doors), duct tape, heavy duty face masks....and a few days of food on hand at all times. However, I have had this since shortly after 9/11. Clearly, there are many reasons to keep these items on hand. It just makes good sense to keep a good emergency kit handy. Now, if you live near Yellowstone and it blows....your emergency kit will be obliterated right along with you but don't worry, you won't know what hit you. I live in an area where tornadoes are far more likely. America is changing......the world is changing....and things we never used to give thought to...are slapping us in the face. Are we in end times? If you believe The Bible, probably. Still, my greatest worry of all is finding a job. My business has tanked with the economy and I have four children all ages seven and under. That is my greatest worry about the future....and sadly, my plastic, duct tape and masks are not much help. We face so many possible dangers and disasters.....volcanoes, tornadoes, terror attacks, loss of our retirement accounts, loss of our privacy (google Obama and the Black Widow).....etc. You just have to put things into perspective, people. Yes, I find Yellowstone and earthquakes very interesting. If I could go back 20 years I would have been a geology major. I love the challenge of it all. Still, we have far more immediate worries than Yellowstone blowing. Although, it is gonna blow...we just have no clue when and there is nothing we can do about it anyway.

Yellowstone Super Volcano

I don't really care what anyone thinks....I think the Yellowstone Caldera is in the early stages of eruption. Now, putting that into perspective, it could still be many years before it blows. I do not believe that the "experts" know enough about it to predict an eruption and would basically refuse to alarm anyone until it was clearly evident to them, with their limited knowledge, that it was going to blow. By then....it would likely be too late. Still.....it could be tomorrow or in 1000 years. The early stages of a volcano that erupts approximately every 600k years could take a while. Watch the information that is available to you. If you live near there, educate yourselves....because waiting for the experts to warn you might come too late.

Life is moving...

Life is moving so quickly. Maybe it has been this way in times past....but it seems like chaos to me. Israel defending itself.....Hamas lobbing rockets down on Israel like rain. Hezzbollah waiting in the wings to join in the terror. Earthquakes everywhere. New President incoming....and the world talking abut the New World Order. Russia halting gas to many European nations. I just don't get it. Can't people just be nice? Just freekin be nice.....it's not that hard. Russia predicts the USA will fall in 2010. I can remember not so long ago...if I had read that, I would have laughed....now...I don't seem to be laughing. It just does not seem so impossible. Pray......Pray for our country, pray for our families.....pray for our souls.

Me and my house......

As for me and my house....we will serve the Lord!

My Message of the Day

BUY AMERICAN!

Belching Bovines

You know I have been thinking about wasteful spending......and it came to mind that someone I know.....well, her husband worked on a federal grant that did research on cows burps and the effect they have on our atmosphere and climate change.

You know....I don't want to come across as someone who doesn't care about the atmosphere...but give me a break. I am having a hard time with my tax dollars supporting this research which, I believe, was right here in my home state. We have so many people going hungry and we are going to spend money researching cow burps?

Do we have a known issue with cow burps? Does it take millions and millions of dollars in research to discover that we MAY have a problem with the burps of cows? Maybe a daily dose of beano would solve the problem....? Ya think?

Who comes up with this stuff? Someone please tell me! I am sure they must be some FAR left freekin winger with a Phd!

This is the type of stuff that I, as your president, will eliminate.

Geeez.....and they were calling wasteful spending pork? They had it all wrong, folks. They had it all wrong.

The Shack

Has anyone read the book, The Shack? Let me tell you, it is a life changing experience. If you have not read it....put it on your list. Some parts you will have to read twice......it is deep...but the gyst of it is this....the only thing truly important in this world....are relationships.

I miss my Mom

I just want my Mom. It has been eight months since she passed away.....and I still reach for the phone to call her several times a day. Then...I realize I can't call her. Death is so final.....so....separating. Yes, she lives on in my heart....but there is so much I want to tell her still.

I do believe I will see her again.....and that gives me hope. I look forward to the day when I can see my Mom, my Grandparents, my Dad......and even meet the Grandfather who died before I was born.

Still....I am here....she is not....and I just want to tell her how much I love her.

Mom.....I love you. More than you will ever know.

I love you all.....and miss you very much.
