Intro. Hi, YouTubers.
I'm glad you're all here.
Thank you for joining me.
Today is December 21, 2022.
It's currently 06:33 P.m.
Central Daylight Time.
Here we got a view of the Old Faithful
webcam looking out there at the Upper Geyser Basin.
Yeah, interesting day today.
I got three monitors that I downloaded.
We got little west thumb, Holmes Hill and denny creek.
And I noticed that this earthquake right here
showed up at Homes Hill really good.
At Denny Creek.
It was just like a little blip.
And it didn't show up here on Little West Thumb.
I thought, that's really strange.
Why did this earthquake show up so well at one site
and it's a strong signature and not at the others?
Well, I found out why, which raises more questions.
There was a magnitude 5.2 earthquake there.
Revilla Gigado. Yeah, I know.
I'm pronouncing that wrong.
Yeah, butcher another name.
Okay, let me show you on Google Earth where it's at.
It was along the Riviera plate.
Over here we got Mexico.
Let me zoom in and yeah, you can see this trench.
Yeah.
So this plate is doing a clockwise rotation
as it moves under and subducts under this
part of the North American plate.
North American plate has been really moving lately.
That magnitude 6.4 earthquake off the coast there
of California, that was caused by the movement
of the North American plate moving west.
Now, they have no moment tensor ball for this 5.2.
But I assume because this is the Riviera
plate, it was caused by subduction going underneath
the North American plate, not where the North
American plate was moving southwest.
Another interesting fact, a lot of you know is that
the plume going up to Yellowstone actually comes from this
area all the way up here from the Gulf of
California, it travels all the way up to Yellowstone.
So I thought that was interesting.
Now, here we have the an SS.
Hiliopot.
And right there is that earthquake as
it came in to Albuquerque, New Mexico.
Let me click on that and make that
a little bit bigger if it'll let me.
It's taking its time and loading. There we go.
Let me bring it over.
You can look at the time when it came in there.
All right, let me go back and we'll
look at some of these other ones. Okay.
This one here came in later.
That was Missouri.
Cathedral caves.
Missouri Alaska does not show up.
Corvallis, Oregon.
Comes in later.
Came in later for Disney Wilderness Preserve.
That's there at the park.
Hockey, Texas.
Let me make that one bigger.
So looking at the time frame and how soon
or how later it came in there's Hawaii.
Let me show you Hawaii right there.
You can look at the time when
it came in there at Hawaii.
So homes, hill.
Let me go to Homes Hill on the
map because that was actually the strongest signature.
We'll go to Google Earth and Denny Creek.
Is fairly close to Homes Hill and Little West.
There's little West Thumb.
I did not want to make that bigger.
I can make it bigger here for Homes Hill and
then I'll make it bigger for you, for Denny Creek. Yeah.
See how it just a little blip?
We'll get into the screaming.
Yeah, there's been screaming.
I'll show you that real quick. Look at that.
Yeah, we'll cover that in a minute.
All right.
Going to Google Earth.
Here we have Hedging Lake.
This here is the monitor for Holmes Hill.
Down over here is Little West Thumb
where it does not show up at.
Let me go back over here and show
you Denny Creek which is over here.
So the strongest signature was
actually up in this location. Is that again?
No, it's Maple Creek.
I couldn't get that one to download. Okay. Right there.
Home sale.
Now this is the area where
we've been having the earthquake swarm.
So I thought that was very interesting that the
monitor at Little West didn't show the signature.
Denny Creek, which would actually be closer to the area there
down by Mexico, shows it, but only as a blip.
But this area that is more active in earthquakes.
Yeah, that was a definite show.
So the monitor on the left, that is Little West Thumb.
Middle is Homes Hill and Denny Creek.
And then let me go up farther because
let me show you this one too.
Good pricing. Wow.
You know what earthquake that is?
That's the earthquake that occurred in California.
That's at 6.4 and it showed up at Homes Hill
the greatest compared to Little West Thumb or Denny Creek.
All right, so I clicked on each of
the time frames and let me make Denny
Creek bigger because this is a real interesting
signature from that earthquake in California.
Yeah, look how it shook up the call.
Derek, let me pull this over and you can see this.
It's like, wow.
Okay.
Now these are pockets of melt.
And I've talked about that and that's been in
the news lately how the melt there are Yellowstone.
These pockets is actually larger than what
they've been trying to convince us.
Anywhere between 15% to 20% melt.
They used to say it was like 5% melt, maybe ten.
And now we find out that the melt is actually greater.
And they figured that for Yellowstone to erupt
they would need let me pull this up.
30% melt.
When the crystals get hot, it melts.
It allows the magma to flow up through
the dikes and the tubes much easier.
It's kind of like using Pam spray to
lubricate for the lava, which is called magma
when it's still under the ground.
So let's bring this over because it showed
up really good here at Home Sale.
Yeah, this would be heated water and gases right here.
But see the magma at the bottom where it
does not show up on the other monitors.
Again, this is the area where they've been having
the earthquake swarms and then it slowly settled down.
I'll bring it over.
Let's look at the earthquake signature.
Let me extract that right there.
This is when it was settling down.
You can't really tell that.
Let's go to the beginning.
All right. Yeah.
See, rounded tops, I've talked about this.
This is when you got magma on the move.
This is called volcanic trimmers, harmonic trimmers.
Harmonic trimmers are actually smaller,
but this is volcanic tremors.
This is when magma is on the move.
And then we got some other ones here.
We got a small one which ended up being even smaller.
Yeah, let's bring this down.
Let me bring this down. Okay.
And let's take a look what it was
showing when I pulled the files earlier.
Yeah, they kind of sharpened points.
So that would be tectonic in nature.
Let me bring this over here to this one.
Tectonic.
This is when either the fault has moved
or we got the North American plate moving.
All right, so let's go back to Denny Creek.
I'll make that one bigger because I've
talked about the magma coming up there.
Look at that.
Look at that in the line of mount.
And right there it's sort of screamed.
Not really, but a little bit.
And you can see them all marked in red.
There's a lot of them here.
And we'll pull this down and there's all kinds of them.
Yup.
And down over here. Look at that.
Let me bring this down so you can see it.
Might hear some noises in the background.
My grandson is here on his tablet over there, in there.
And this is what it was
showing when I pulled the files. Look at this.
It's like, wow, popping.
Let me look at the seismic signature.
Okay, I'll go with this one here.
That's a little bit smaller.
Or did my bingo small on me?
Hard to tell.
Yes, smaller.
You can see how we don't have as much gases.
And then that one's marked in red. Boom.
More popping.
The ground, the pressure is coming up,
making the ground very brittle like glass.
The magma has been moving horizontally.
Those of you that have been following me for
a while will know that it's got a cap
of Ryolite, which keeps the magma under pressure.
One day it's going to go boom, but because
it's got the cap, it's been moving horizontally.
This monitor here is little westbound of
Yellowstone Lake down there where they got
Grant, the campground of Grant.
Yeah, look at that, marked in red.
Okay, the reports of earthquakes that USGS is telling
us about is ten for the last week.
The most recent was today, a magnitude,
let's see, 2.1 at 448 Universal Time.
And that would be down there by Hart Lake.
And again, for those of you that follow
me, you know that when Yellowstone had its
last major eruption, it did an unzipping boom,
boom, boom, boom boom counterclockwise.
It started up here in the Madison
River area, unzipped explosion after explosion until
it got down here by Hart Lake.
And then when it did that, both resurgent domes, the
Sour Creek Resurgent Dome, which is up over here, if
you can see where my little pointers at.
And then the Mallard Lake Resurgent Dome, which
is where the live webcam is at.
Both collapsed at the same time,
and that's when Yellowstone blew.
So the most recent a 2.1 and a 2.0. Okay.
Both 448 and 420.
Universal time.
So let's see if I can find this.
Okay, this one is 17 five.
All right, again, the only monitor it really shows up
on is homes hail that I got to download. Yeah.
Many of the monitors I could not get to work.
All right, so we have one here at 429.
So Homes hail is quite a ways away. Okay.
The 2.1 at 448 and 53 seconds way down here.
And the monitor that does show it, which is really strange
that only one monitor would show it for a 2.1.
And they said years ago when they started
having magnitude two earthquakes, they would be concerned.
I come up with a magnitude 2.29.
USGS said it was a 2.1.
All right, let's go to this one. Okay.
That one definitely looks bigger.
All right, so they are reporting it, and they're saying
it's a 2.0, but it looks bigger to me.
You can look at the seismic signature.
Yeah, and they're same location where they
happen down there by Heart Lake.
This one definitely is not a 2.0.
This one comes in as a magnitude 2.92.
It could possibly even be a three.
But I gave them the benefit of the doubt going
by the seismic signature and how long it rattled on.
I ended it right there.
It should have been a little bit longer.
So, once again, the earthquakes are showing up better at
Holmes Hill than they are at any other place.
And again, this is Madison River, where
they've been having all the earthquake swarms.
I do not see the screaming.
Let's go back to let's see here.
Let me pull this up.
I already did.
Danny Creek showed you the screaming there.
Let's go to Little West Thumb.
There at Yellowstone Lake.
Yeah, I already showed you that.
And let's see what it was
showing when I pulled the files.
Okay.
I really don't see any screaming here either.
Let me close this.
Well, actually, this is when I pulled the files.
And we'll just look at the signature. Yeah.
Got some drum beats going on.
Tectonic.
This is all tectonic movement.
Yeah, but I do not see any screaming.
No, but it's hard to tell.
But no, I don't see it.
Let's go here.
Yeah, someone here on YouTube was
watching the camera this morning.
I was not home this morning.
I went shopping.
I had to get some eggs and stuff from the store.
Wanted to get them while they came in.
When the truck came in, but they said that the smoke,
the steam coming up from the Geysers looked dirty today.
Again.
This is Denny Creek.
Yeah, the Madison River area getting darker now.
It's now seven two p. M.
Central Daylight Time.
Yeah, we got some really cold weather.
Supposed to be down 55 to 60 below zero where I'm at.
I'm prepared.
I'm used to this stuff.
Yeah, but a lot of people don't prepare, so
it kind of looks like it's snowing there.
I hope everyone else is prepared.
They do what they can and get ready for this cold.
They were giving us health warnings about
only staying outside for about five minutes.
Anything longer, you could get prostitute
on your face and hands.
Right now.
It's supposed to be minus two degrees there and
it's supposed to Get Down To -34 degrees there.
And that is not with the
windshield and supposedly with the wind.
Chill it's -14 right now supposedly going to
be -18 with the Wind chill later tonight.
But I think it's going to be much colder.
Anyways, that's all I have for you right now.
I really appreciate you guys watching.
I really appreciate your support.
A lot of people can't do that like they did before
because the economy is bad and it's going to get worse.
Next year is going to be worse
than what it is this year.
And you guys need to be prepared.
Think of yourselves and think of your family first.
Always think of them first.
Once again, thank you very much.
Have a merry Christmas and God bless you all. Thank you.
Bye.
Thank you.
