Hi, guys.
I'm glad you're all here.
Thank you for joining me.
I'm doing laundry.
So you'll hear that noise in the background?
Here in the Southwest Dakota, we've
had at least one earthquake.
I think there's a couple more
that USGS is not reporting.
At about 751 and 40 seconds, Universal Time.
You'll see this earthquake right here?
Sharp popping of the rock.
But I was shocked at the heat and
the magma that came up during this earthquake.
The earthquake station that I downloaded the data
from is right here by the Black Hills.
Over here we have Bare Butte.
This is an area of an ancient volcano, supposedly about
50,000 years ago, magma came up, and they don't know
if it erupted because it's so greatly deteriorated.
It's a sacred site for the Native Americans.
That volcano is supposed to be a lacalut type volcano.
It is a body of intrusive rock with a
Dome shape upper surface and a level base fed
by a conduit, kind of like Yellowstone.
From below, a locklift forms when magma
molten rock rises through, the Earth crest
begins to spread out horizontally.
And that's been what's been
going on there at Yellowstone.
Also prior part the host rockstream.
The pressure of the magma is high enough
that the overlying strata are forced upward, giving
the Lacota its Dome like form.
Over time, erosion can expose the solidified
lacklith, which is typically more resistant to
weathering than the host rock.
The exposed lacalif Ben forms a Hill or a mountain.
Henry Mountain in Utah are examples of
mountain range composed of exposed lacquelet.
Here's an image of the conduit and the
rise of what is now called Bare Butte.
The area around the Black Hills
was created by volcanic activity.
The area has lots of caves, either formed
by erosion or maybe they were lava tubes.
Supposedly the Hills, the Black Hills has been
eroding about one inch every 10,000 years.
I do know that there is a lot of sediment in this area.
So earthquakes would travel and anything
large would probably cause damage.
It didn't really show up on the
monitor that I downloaded from Sue Falls.
So we'll go to that location and let
me show you where Sue Falls is at.
South Dakota really doesn't have
that many large cities.
Soup Falls, Rapid and Aberdeen are
the three largest cities here.
So, yeah, that monitor there didn't really pick up
this earthquake, but what I noticed was it did
show up on the earthquake USGS dot Gov website.
And let's bring this up.
This is it for the Black Hills.
And we got a little one there here where
I live about 4 hours from the Black Hills.
Once in a while, I feel a little rumble.
Not really a Rumble.
I'll just feel like a small vibration.
So this earthquake, supposedly, if I'm calculating
the time right, was at 11:51 p.m.
Local time, that's Central Daylight Time.
That would have been June 5, almost a couple of
minutes later, it would have been today, June 6, 2022.
They should have reported it.
They do have it marked in red.
Means the computer picked it up.
Here is images stream view.
Looks like there's another small
quake right there, more recently.
This here is that earthquake.
Now, I come up with a magnitude one point 87.
And you will see down here for the Sue Falls monitor.
It also picked it up there, barely.
So going back to let's see the earthquake signature again,
and I'll bring it down so you can see if
you're watching this on a larger computer or your TV,
you can see it's a magnitude one point 87.
Now, at 2039, it picked up another earthquake.
It could have been one worldwide. I'm not sure.
I'm a little suspicious about it, but this one,
too, brought up magma, a lot of gases.
Let me bring it over and you can see
all the Oops I went off the line.
Let's see right there. Okay.
A lot of gasses.
It really rocked and rolled.
It could have been a large
earthquake somewhere else in the world.
And there's this earthquake signature.
It's got a very long P wave on it.
Let's extract that.
Yeah.
See, that is volcanic activity,
which is really interesting.
So this earthquake did cause the
Black Hills magma Chamber to rattle.
Yeah.
Here we got the threat of Yellowstone.
And now to think it might have the
threat of volcanoes erupting because of the weakening
Earth magnetic field erupting here in South Dakota.
Now, this one would have been
also, I believe, on the fifth.
Yeah, the fifth right there.
And it came in here first, started at 2039.
Now, I really shortened up the seismic
signature, so I'm sure I'm off.
But it comes in as a magnitude three point 59.
I am sure if that is the real case,
people there in Rapid City would have been reporting
this earthquake, but I really shortened it up.
Yeah.
And I probably shouldn't have.
I know Tonga was having earthquakes, but the
time giving travel time doesn't make sense.
They got one in Hawaii, but that would not pick it up.
Western Texas was way before. Yeah.
I don't see anything for that time for
that earthquake to register here in South Dakota.
And it's not going to show on here
because it only goes back to 1800 hours.
There is a little blip right there.
There is a blip there. All right.
At 2000 hours. Okay.
But it's got a long P wave and having a
little blip wherever it happened, USGS is not reporting.
It only shows up here on the Black Hills monitor and it
doesn't show up, not really for the one for soup hall.
So this one's really a mystery.
Anyways, that's all I have for you right now.
If you have any thoughts or comments or if you
did feel something on Sunday, those comments down below.
Thank you very much for watching.
Thank you for subscribing.
Please stay safe and I'll talk to you later.
God bless you bye.
