Hi everybody.
I'm glad you're here.
Thank you very much for joining me. Here's an update.
What's going on at Yellowstone?
The live webcam and the static cam
for Old Faithful still isn't working.
I do have an image here from 230 p. M.
Local time of Yellowstone Lake.
Yeah, that's all I can give for you.
USGS is reporting 117 earthquakes within
the last probably 24 hours.
The most recent, they're saying, is a magnitude 2.5.
It's actually a magnitude 3.0.
It's shallow, 2.4 miles below sea level.
All earthquakes are measured in sea level.
I have four monitors.
I did download the promontory like I
said I was going to do yesterday. Here.
On the left is Mary Lake.
This is the borehole for Yellowstone Lake.
Yeah, look at that.
This is a 3.0.
Here we have the promontory and the western boundary.
And let's go to the borehole and we'll
bring this down so you can see it.
For those of you that might have larger screens or
watching on your TV, maybe with your fire stick, whatever.
Yeah.
See this is a magnitude 3.9 and
there's been one, two, three, probably four
earthquakes when I downloaded the data. Let's see.
We'll look at that one and that one.
I'm off the line. Okay.
And let's look at the seismic signature.
Once again, it goes small on me. Okay.
And let's go to this one.
We'll check out volcanic tremors and harmonic tremors.
Okay, I'll just go back to
that without making it large. See that?
I really wish they would give me or give the
public, I should say, access to the gas readings.
They have one monitor that I know
for sure is taking continuous gas readings.
I don't remember where I got this image from,
but it says a continuous gas monitoring station operates
near Yellowstone National Park, the Norris Geyser Basin.
Scientists with the Yellowstone Volcano Observatory plan
to expand continuous gas monitoring as part
of a new volcano and earthquake monitoring
plan for the Yellowstone caldera.
So they have several solar panels and yeah, it looks
like they're taking wind readings and things like that.
And you can see here they have a
pipe that comes up out of the ground.
Actually it looks like two maybe. Yeah.
This data is being sent to them.
I don't know how often.
It says continuous.
Let me bring this over.
Yeah, I don't know.
Anything done in secret is not good.
With the live gas readings.
We would know how close Yellowstone
is actually to an eruption.
We would have the hydrogen three and four.
We would have CO2, sulfur dioxide, all that data.
They just posted this earthquake at 2012
Universal Time and they're saying it's a
magnitude 1.5, but I get a 1.90.
It might be a little bit larger though.
2.2 miles and the roof of the
caldera is only about 3 miles down.
Look at all those earthquakes.
It was kind of a slap in the face to
say that earthquake swarms of this magnitude happen maybe two
to three times a year, which is hogwashed.
So far, they've had 14 earthquakes over a
magnitude 2.5, the largest being a magnitude 3.7.
That one was shallow, too, 2.3 miles.
We got two 2.7, a 2.8, another 2.7.
Maybe I'll click on them for you.
Maybe I should bring it out a little bit farther.
No, we'll just keep it right there. Okay.
And a 2.9.
Remember, they got this crack, this fault
zone that runs underneath the leg where
dike intrusion is trying to come up.
It's got a cap of Ryolite, which is
the most explosive type of magma possible.
Yeah, they have earthquake swarms, but not
with a magnitude two or greater.
No, that doesn't happen normally.
They're around a magnitude one, maybe
a little bit bigger and smaller.
This is very unusual.
There was an earthquake in Chile.
I posted about that, and it
definitely shook up the caldera here.
All right, let's go to the promontory, and
I'm going to show you first on Google
Earth where the promontory is at.
This here is Yellowstone Lake.
For those of you that might be new,
this little thumb pointing out is the promontory.
And that's the monitor that I'm going to show you.
And then up over here is the borehole.
It's a very deep well under
the ground for Yellowstone Lake.
Borehole 20, eight.
In the area where they've been having
their earthquakes, there is a bulge there
where the ground has been rising.
This here is Mary's Bay.
Yeah, that eruption, which created this little knob here,
I guess you can call it, threw out rocks
miles away and created a tsunami across the lake.
So I am wondering if it's got to do with
the bulge or if there's a weakening of the crust
there where the magma is trying to come up.
This is just some of the earthquakes I posted.
All right, so right down here is
the magnitude 6.3 earthquake that occurred there
in South America off of Chile.
And let's bring this over.
You can see that it really shook up the caldera.
And then this is the more recent one.
Here you can see we got hot
gases, hot water that came up.
And there's the one that they're saying is 1.5.
They haven't reported this one yet.
This here is what the stream view is currently showing.
I did not download Madison River area because if I
get more than four different monitors, it just messes up
on me and locks up and doesn't download.
So up here at the Madison River area, we
got a small quake that came in recently there.
It would be in that location
because it only shows there.
And on the western boundary, it doesn't really show
up for Yellowstone Lake, Mary Lake or the proletory.
You can see the gaps right here.
I would say that there is a bulge growing,
that the lake has been tipping more and more.
Let me go there.
Went off the line and then we got that one.
There are actually two there.
Yeah.
Those two are not being reported.
Yeah, back to their same old, same old.
Yeah, they're really messing up today.
This one here they're saying is a magnitude 0.7.
It is actually a magnitude 2.20.
Don't want to freak people out. Right.
I'll bring it down there at the bottom you
see MD 2.20 and we'll come back up again.
Another one but it's not marked in red.
23, 28.
They're saying that one is a magnitude
1.1 but it's actually a magnitude 1.97.
More likely it's the fault movement.
This is either fault movement or tectonic.
They got that fault that comes up
all the way through the Tetons there.
They are saying this one here at 310 is a 2.1.
Let's go to the spectrogram.
But I get a magnitude 2.38. Yeah.
I don't know who they got working there.
Yeah, more gases coming up here.
I was wanting to see what was going on
when we got the uplift going on there.
Yeah, hot water and gases.
Got another little one there
and another little one there.
Let's look at the seismic signature.
I'll have to make that bigger.
Yeah.
I would say there's a crack opening up.
All right, this here is
the borehole for Yellowstone Lake.
Borehole 20 eight.
Look at that.
Oh my goodness.
I say oh my goodness.
Because of all the hot water, hot steam and the magma.
Let's pull this over.
Yeah.
I thought maybe it was going to
be settling down but I don't know.
It's still acting up, isn't it?
Yeah.
Like I said, this is when I
pulled the files a little while ago.
All right.
See this is volcanic tremors.
Yeah, that's that one there. Okay.
It's going to go small on me.
Okay.
And that's the 1.90.
There's actually two here.
Let me make that bigger.
Let me close that.
Make that bigger. Yeah. All right.
Now that one is fault movement
and yeah, what can I say?
All right, let's make this bigger.
Not good.
What's going on?
This is all fault movement or tectonic.
Yeah, not good.
All right, let's go back up now.
When the Hunga Tonga volcano erupted, it only took
1 hour once the magma started to come up
for it to have its major eruption.
1 hour, that's all it took.
So yeah, I don't know what they're up to.
Everything is aokay right?
All right. Yeah.
Monitor is not working.
What are your thoughts?
Please put those comments down below.
I'll keep watching and I'll keep you up to date.
As always, please be prepared for a disaster.
You don't know what it could be.
It could be a volcanic eruption.
It could be another train derailment like
they had there today or last night.
They had to evacuate Minnesota.
Was that Minnesota?
I don't remember.
I hate that when it goes small
and you guys can't see it anyways. Yeah.
If you got any comments, please put it down below.
It's the end of the month, so make
sure that you are still subscribed to your
favorite channels, the AI, for some reason, at
the end of every month, unsubscribes people.
And I'll talk to you later. God bless you. Bye.
