The Casper Star Tribune reports northwestern Yellowstone National Park has been experiencing "swarms" of modest earthquakes in recent days. The University of Utah Seismograph Station has detected 20-30 quakes per day in the 2.7-3.4 magnitude range.
Nobody hereabouts thinks it means much. After all, Yellowstone has dozens of geysers and mud pots because it sits on the ruins of a former super volcano. Lake Yellowstone is a flooded caldera.
Could it erupt again? I suppose it could, but we who live in the area aren't holding our collective breath.
