There has recently been ALOT of earthquake activity around the world, but what makes this particular earthquake so disturbing is where it is situated and what it could mean.
A magnitude 4.2 earthquake has struck just west of the Yellowstone Super-Volcano. This quake is considerably larger than most in that region. It took place at 8:14 eastern US time today at a shallow depth of 6.2 miles.
There is no sign of any eruption from Yellowstone, but this size earthquake is unusual and folks within 500 miles should keep abreast of the situation in case the super volcano begins rumbling.
In the event of a potential eruption, everyone within FIVE HUNDRED (500) MILES would have to be evacuated because unlike other volcanoes, Yellowstone is a super-volcano. An eruption of a super-volcano would affect the entire planet. . . . It’s THAT big and THAT serious.
