Yellowstone National Park has been rattled by more than 250 earthquakes in the past two days following a period of 11 months of quiet seismic activity in the park.

The quakes have been gaining strength, with a 3.1 tremor recorded at 11:03 a.m. today. A 2.9 quake was recorded at 12:38 p.m.

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 am DEEPLY concerned over this, very few people understand what an eruption of the Yellowstone caldera would mean to the (WORLD).

    Likewise, the Haiti earthquake concerns me, because if the Island of La Palma experiences that same magnitude People here in Florida are screwed!!…I’ve seen the mock-ups of what could happen and it is NOT pretty!

    I have been building a disaster preparedness website (http://www.SurvivalTime.org) which ‘hopefully’ will make a difference in the survival of at least a good number of people.
