New ‘Swarm’ of Quakes at Yellowstone Super Volcano
by Mitch Battros - ECTV
I guess I should say, really to no surprise, Yellowstone Super Volcano has jumped significantly in small earthquake activity. See latest count here. So far the largest reading is 2.5 magnitude.
Mt. Hood has also seen seismic activity in the last week. The latest “recorded” was October 4th showing a 2.1 mag. which had been upgraded to a 2.4 mag.. Notice I say “latest recorded”. The reason for this hesitation, if for whatever reason, the USGS is not updating in “real time”. Actually, not even daily. See latest count here.
I have recently received word, yet to be confirmed, that Mt. Adams is also showing movement. But when I go to the USGS volcanic/quake site, the only think I get is a red blink headline which reads “These maps are not being updated for Mount St. Helens events.” This obviously includes the whole Cascade Range including Mt. Adams. Here is the link to Mt. Adams seismic updates. The last registered! update was September 8th 2004. See page here:
