There Really Were Yellowstone Earthquakes the Weekend of March 30Heather Callaghan This past weekend, on Sunday March 30th, however, three earthquakes broke out and one of then was quite sizable. In fact, it was the largest earthquake to hit in 34 years February 22, 1980. The Weather Channel reports: The quake, the largest since another 4.8 tremor on February 22, 1980, was preceded by two foreshocks measuring 2.8 and 3.0 at 12:23 a.m. and 4:36 a.m. Sunday, respectively. The main shock was then followed by at least four aftershocks ranging in magnitude from 2.5 to 3.3 later Sunday morning. To be sure, this wasnt a stampede of Lion King proportions, but it is curious. Strangely, the buffalo run within the lines in the correct lane on the highway. Some stories along the same lines used planetary and mathematical algorithms to come up with an earthquake/eruption date of March 28th. While planetary alignment predictions fall well outside the realm of this writers sphere, other writers have been cataloging Yellowstone murmurs for awhile, as seismic activity has made headlines for several months. Even though there wasnt a full-blown eruption the weekend of March 28-30th the largest earthquake to occur there since 1980, happening within 24 hours of speculation, is something to ponder. Similar seismic activity occurred before the 1980 eruption of Mount St. Helens. Researchers at the Weather Channel, however, dont want to add to panic-stricken posts, and want to assure people that a volcanic eruption is not expected.
