Let’s hope not; however, sometime down the road this super volcanic caldera is going to blow. Let’s hope that we’re not here; however, if we are there is no need to worry. There would be no place to hide! So, don’t worry, be happy! One thing we have to admit though is that the earth is extremely irritated now. Tornadoes in California too? Can all this weather and earth movement be related?
Hugo Chavez, the man who would like run the world, says no!
Venezuelan leader Hugo Chavez has once again accused the United States of playing God. But this time it’s Haiti’s disastrous earthquake that he thinks the U.S. was behind. Spanish newspaper ABC quotes Chavez as saying that the U.S. navy launched a weapon capable of inducing a powerful earthquake off the shore of Haiti. He adds that this time it was only a drill and the final target is … destroying and taking over Iran.
What a nut job this dictator is! Can anyone give me some evidence please?
Meanwhile back in the sane village yet another earthquake. Oh yes, it’s not a big one, but where it is has been causing scientists to take notice. A 3.5 earthquake hit Yellowstone National Park Wednesday as the swarm of earthquakes that started Sunday continues to intensify. The earthquake occurred at 2:32 p.m., according to scientists monitoring the current swarm.
A woman at the West Yellowstone, Montana Chamber of Commerce said the earthquake created a “rumble like a truck driving down the road.” Let’s hope that’s a loud as it gets folks. She added that the earthquake caused the icicles on the Christmas tree at the Chamber, which has not been taken down, to shake. Maybe it was just a reminder that Christmas is over. Think maybe?
The swarm of earthquakes that started Sunday has now entered their third day. On Monday night, a magnitude 3.4 tremor was recorded at 8:39 p.m. Al Nash, spokesman for Yellowstone National Park, said that 469 earthquakes had been recorded in the swarm as of 3 p.m. today. Who counts such things? Nash said the earthquakes have been reported by multiple people in the park itself, and in neighboring communities in Montana and Idaho.
So far scientists monitoring the swarm say the tremors seem to be normal tectonic activity, and is “not an indication” that some sort of volcanic activity will occur. However, they continue to monitor the situation. Bottom line is that they don’t know! And, Prof. Robert B. Smith, a geophysicist at the University of Utah and one of the leading experts on earthquake and volcanic activity at Yellowstone, said that the activity is a “notable swarm.”
I don’t like “notable”.
What is notable though is the fact that we’re seeing some of the greatest numbers of earthquake, the lowest number of sun spots, and all of this really needs to stop and cool down. Oh yeah, we’ve already been cooling down. Can someone email Al Gore and ask what’s up?
