Yellowstone - Not Financial News

I was picking up swarm readings on Friday but didn't check it again until Sunday. This is not unusual except that the lake bottom if rising significantly. It's being picked up by the news agencies now.

yes, the local TV news station here has been following the earthquake near Yellowstone Lake, and saying the quakes started this weekend are continuing. all the Nat'l park rangers I know in several different parks, say the Yellowstone volcanic eruption is only a question of "when"

A similar explosion to the last one - long before we occupied the US - ash covered Texas

avalanche is the other trouble we are having here now...something like 5 feet of snow in a week followed by warming weather that started Sunday: Southwest Wyoming: The Wyoming Department of Transportation has scheduled a closure on Teton Pass for 8:00am Tuesday December 30th, 2008. Weather depending, helicopter bombing or artillery will be used to reduce the avalanche hazard in several slide paths impacting Highway 22. Parking areas and backcountry access will be closed until avalanche reduction efforts are completed. This closure will take several hours and snow slides reaching the Highway may extend the closure.

Not trying to be Chicken Little, but check this out:

For those who haven't been there, the Yellowstone caldera is unique. Because the earth's crust is so thin there, you come across all kinds of geological sights and smells that can best be described as "primeval." About the only thing that's come close to it, in my experience, is the active Kilawea volcano in Hawaii.

There are multiple signs of volcanic unrest in Yellowstone - remember when Old Faithful wasn't Faithful any more, and these signs have been developing for the past eight years or so, not the least of which is the dome formation in the middle of the caldera - which I think is a really big deal. It may be that this is just an initial surge that MAY reside before it returns as the pressure builds up. And it may once again go quiet for a brief period of time. But it is sufficient activity to be prepared.

If Yellowstone does erupt, Yellowstone Lake is the most likely place for it to begin. The depression that holds the lake was obviously the area that contracted the most after the last eruption. It is also the thinest layer of the earths crust which is where the lava will emerge.

There are also new mud pots formed under solid ground at the "Mud Pots" near the lake. Norris basin has also been reported to have ground thermal anomalies in the past few years. Not in the past 1,000 years but recently.

I would be surprised if it took more than ten years for yellowstone to awake - my take is 4-5 years. If it does with the same intensity as it has historically - we will live in a different world.

Edgar Cayce predicted that the Great Lakes would empty into the Gulf of Mexico in the future and that ancient repositories would be discovered when people reached the appropriate level of consciousness. The three repositories mentioned are Egypt, the Bimini area, and the Yucatan. "The earth will be broken up in the western portion of America. The greater portion of Japan must go into the sea. The upper portion of Europe will be changed as in the twinkling of an eye. Land will appear off the east coast of America. When there is the first breaking up of some conditions in the South Sea and those as apparent in the sinking or rising of that that´s almost opposite same, or in the Mediterranean, and the Etna area, then we many know it has begun." "If there are greater activities in Vesuvius or Pelee, then the southern coast of California and the areas between Salt Lake and the southern portions of Nevada, we may expect, within the three months following same, inundation by the earthquakes. But these are to be more in the Southern than the Northern Hemisphere." "There will be the upheavals in the Arctic and in the Antarctic that will make for the eruption of volcanoes in the torrid areas, and there will be the shifting then of the poles -- so that where there has been those of a frigid or the semi-tropical will become the more tropical, and moss and fern will grow. "As to conditions in the geography of the world, of the country -- changes here are gradually coming about. No wonder, then, that the entity feels the need, the necessity for change of central location. For, many portions of the east coast will be disturbed, as well as many portions of the west coast, as well as the central portion of the U.S. In the next few years land will appear in the Atlantic as well as in the Pacific. And what is the coast line now of many a land will be the bed of the ocean. Even many battle fields of the present will be ocean, will be the seas, the bays, the lands over which The New World Order will carry on their trade as one with another. "Portions of the now east coast of New York, or New York City itself, will in the main disappear. This will be another generation, though, here; while the southern portions of Carolina, Georgia -- these will disappear. This will be much sooner. The waters of the lakes will empty into the Gulf, rather than the waterway over which such discussions have been recently made. It would be well if the waterway were prepared, but not for that purpose for which it is at present being considered. Then the area where the entity is now located (Virginia Beach) will be among the safety lands, as will be portions of what is now Ohio, Indiana and Illinois, and much of the southern portion of Canada and the eastern portion of Canada; while the western land -- much of that is to be disturbed as, of course much in other lands." "Strifes will arise through the period. Watch for them near the Davis Strait in the attempts there for the keeping of the life line to land open. Watch for them in Libya and in Egypt, in Ankara and in Syria, through the straits about those areas above Australia, in the Indian Ocean and the Persian Gulf." It is also understood, comprehended by some that a new order of conditions is to arise; there must be a purging in high places as well as low; and that there must be the greater consideration of the individual, so that each soul being his brother´s keeper. Then certain circumstances will come about in the political, the economic, and whole relationships to which a leveling will occur or a greater comprehension of the need for it. Hmm

Nostradamus predicted similar events - though somewhat more obscure. However, I look at science. The highest EQ activity at Mt St. Helens was about a 3.8 - 4.3 EQ prior to the eruption of course when all H--l broke loose the eq's were high. Mt. St Helens was QUIET for weeks prior to the eruption, just small rumblings, just before the big event. Remember also that NYC sits on a huge fault line - that moved in the 1800's in a big way - a huge eq there would flatten Manhattan the way buildings are constructed today. That fault line extends from Central Park through Moodus Ct, and up through Boston. Moodus Ct had hundreds of small eq's every week, I had to monitor them for years because of the Millstone Nuclear Facilty when I worked at NU - the Indians referred to them as the Moodus Noises. Ash flows have re- started on Monserrate and eq's along the mid Atlantic Ridge have been more frequent. something is happening here - I have studied this stuff for years because I have no life and my major degree is in geology and geophysics, money is just a hobby - but I don't like what I see. Unfortunately we have little more than 100 years of study into geology and geophysics compared to hundreds of thousands (millions and billions) of years of history and interpreting the geologic past is at best science/interpretation. I am adding EQ rider to my insurance policy Tomorrow - It's only $15 - but what do they know - if something big happens they won't be around and I won't collect anyway and who will want the dollars at that point.
