Good evening, everybody.
I'm glad you're all here.
Thank you for joining me.
Hope everyone enjoyed their
Passover, Easter holiday weekend.
Here's an update what's going on at Yellowstone.
The bears are now emerging from their
hibernation and warnings have been going out.
Famed Mama Grizzly Three Nine Nine and her
four Cubs emerge from hibernation on April 16.
Today is April 18, 2022.
Young Cubs usually stay with their Mamas for about
two and a half years, so it's expected the
four babies will leave their mother and venture off
and try and survive on their own.
The five bears last year
were getting themselves in trouble.
They were lingering near homes, getting
into human sources of food, including
beehives, animal feed and garbage. Last year.
On November 10, the five were escorted out of
the town of Jackson after roaming the streets and
making a brief stop at the Jackson Police Department.
399 enter Cubs presence in residential areas
around Jackson Hole filled conversations about migrating
bears and human conflict and new regulations
Countywide for bear proof trash cans.
Yellowstone National Park recommends that hikers travel in groups
of four or more now and that you carry
bear spray and know how to use it.
Make noise to alert any bears of your
presence, especially in areas with lots of brush
and along Rivers where sound can be muffled.
Stay away from any carcasses you might find.
While they have found that the bear spray and
making noise doesn't always work in the park too.
If you're riding your bike, they might
think that you're a great chase.
They love to chase people that
are jogging or riding bikes.
They're telling people to stay at least 100
yards away from bears, and if you see
one, turn around and go the opposite direction.
If you're hiking with your dogs, do not have
them off their leashes anywhere in the park.
It is prohibited.
If you are visiting the park, they're
telling people to keep your camp clean.
Store all attractants, including coolers, cooking gear and pet
food inside a bear box or a hard sided
vehicle with the windows rolled up properly.
Store garbage until you can deposit
in a bare resistant dumpster.
Never abandon your picnic table or backpack.
Make sure someone stays with your food at all times.
Now for the earthquakes while the earthquakes are continuing
there at Yellowstone, USGS is reporting eleven within the
last 24 hours, 58 within the last week.
And of course, you know that they don't
report them all, the largest being a magnitude
2.4, which was yesterday near Lima, Montana, which
is along the Snake River Plateau.
The most recent earthquake that USGS is
reporting is a 0.8 at 21.
37 Universal Time.
They listed it as Mammoth, Wyoming, but here you
can see it's closer to a Yellowstone Lake.
Talked about being way off and
how large the earthquake was.
It was actually a magnitude two point 14,
and I'll show you the seismic signature.
There it is and I actually shortened it up.
It really rattled for quite a while now.
This is from the borehole.
20 seven.
They're at the Madison River area.
Here's the signature as it came in at Maple Creek.
And there's a spectrogram.
And you're probably wondering about this. Yeah.
There was lots of magma coming into
the system there at Yellowstone earlier.
Let's go to the spectrogram.
Look at all that.
Yeah.
A 0.8 would not pick up there at Lake Butte.
Here's the signatures that came in there.
And there's the spectrogram.
There was another earthquake that
they're still not reporting.
That's it right there.
21, 29.
You can see here, 29, 30 seconds, 29 and 0 second.
There's a spectrogram.
That one was picked up at
the borehole there at Madison River.
The Maple Creek Monitor and Lake
Beauty here on the right. This one, too.
I shortened its signature and it came
in as a magnitude two point 31.
Old Faithfuls going off right now, just in time.
You remember Hank Hessler mentioned how when
they started having magnitude to earthquakes there
at Yellowstone, they would be concerned.
And look how close these people are to the
Buffalo that are laying right next to the boardwalk.
Yeah.
They're not 100 yards from the Buffalo. Yeah.
The Buffalo is starting to migrate to right now.
I'll pull this over so you can see
that there is another one right there.
Yes.
People do not heed the warning.
These animals, they're huge.
They weigh one hundreds of
pounds, and they're not domesticated.
They're wild animals.
And you should keep your distance from them.
So it is 05:59 p.m.
Central daylight time, and you can
see it's still going off.
You can also see the dead trees up over here.
Many of them are dying from the gas
is coming up as the volcano recharges.
They also got rust, which has weakened
them, which has made them more susceptible.
There's more dead trees susceptible to
being attacked by the beetles.
And these trees, the pine cones that they drop
are a main source for the grizzly bears.
And I also mentioned, too, about
the trout that the bears eat. Yeah.
Last year and the year before, when they
were doing the count as they're going upstream
to do their spawning, there was none.
Now, these trout are not like the Lake trout.
The Lake trout do not migrate up
the Rivers to spawn their eggs.
So the grizzly bears are opportunity hunters.
They're going after food.
You guys leave out trash.
They're even attacking people and eating people.
Going to the stream view up
here, we have the Madison River.
This is the borehole.
It's a very deep well under the ground showing
those last two earthquakes that I reported for you.
And we got drumbeats.
So let's go back another 2 hours.
Down here is Maple Creek, lots of activity.
And we'll go back another 2 hours so we
can see just exactly what was going on. Yeah.
Lots of magma coming into the system.
This one here is Lake Butte.
And we'll pull it over there's.
The drum beats that were going on.
There's an earthquake there.
Now, this is Maple Creek and this is the borehole.
Same earthquake.
So 1852 and about 30 seconds.
Let me pull this back up so you can see the monitors.
This is a borehole.
This is Maple Creek.
And this is Lake Butte.
Doesn't show up at Lake Butte.
That earthquake is not being reported here.
You can see 1028 Universal Time.
And then 21. 29.
There's the spectrogram.
And it comes in as a magnitude one point 61.
We'll look at the signature.
Now, this is the borehole there at Madison River.
So anyway, let me bring it up
and I'll show you the other ones.
They got marked in red.
We got one there.
And we'll look at the spectrogram. 22. 40.
That would have been yesterday.
Usgs says it was a magnitude 0.8 once again,
but in actuality is a magnitude one point 85. Right.
We got another one marked in red.
It's actually two earthquakes.
It looks like.
Yes, two earthquakes.
And then we got another one.
Let me close this and make it bigger for you.
That's not marked in red. 22.
57.
Again, kind of close to the Madison River area.
They're saying that is a magnitude 0.7.
But I come up with a magnitude one point 69.
And we'll go back to the signature of it.
Now, this is the monitor for Lake Buke.
It is on the Eastern side of Yellowstone Lake.
And these are what is actually called
blobs of magma coming into the system.
And there's that line of melt.
Remember Yellowstone Lake got that crack with a cap of
ryelite that's been trying to rise up, open up.
And there has been past hydrothermal eruptions there.
In one of my last videos, I talked about that
and how it created a tsunami and this is what
it was showing when I pulled the files.
Yeah, quiet it down there's.
That one earthquake there's.
The other one.
And more activity.
Let's look at the signature.
Wrong one. Okay.
They have been having a variety
of tectonic and volcanic earthquakes there.
See how some are pointed at
the top and some are rounded?
That's a little bit of both.
Let's make this bigger if I can.
Yeah.
See how it's rounded.
This is volcanic earthquakes.
Meaning that magma is on the move,
trying to come up in the system.
I wanted to make this bigger.
Yeah.
See rounded tops.
This here shows four different
types of seismic signatures.
Tectonic like earthquakes.
Where they got the little points at the top.
Shallow volcanic earthquakes.
See how they got the rounded edges?
Rounded edges down here, it looks like
we got to make sure they're both.
You can see it's rounded and
then some with sharp little tops.
Well, maybe not.
Let me make it bigger.
Let's bring it over.
See, that one's got a sharp little top so
we have a mixture of both volcanic and tectonic.
I noticed too that all these
trees back here, they're all dead.
Yeah, that's a lot of them.
And in the front over here it's no wonder that the
bears are starving and looking for other sources of food.
So that's all I have for you right now.
