EYE WITNESS NEWS FROM YELLOWSTONE!


 


This Just In 02-10-2007

 

Yellowstone Lake (of which is big) has recently been reaching temperature spikes of nearly two-hundred degrees! Many areas of Yellowstone have been closed down because the ground has become so hot that it's simply not safe, thus killing of thousands of trees and endangering if not killing off wildlife. At the end of 2007, president Bush ordered all USGS personal to send their findings directly to the white house first and not to speak or release any of their reports to the public first until the Whitehouse can sensor any alarming wording that would alarm the public!

Note: It goes without saying that Yellowstone is heating up as magma continues to move upwards towards the surface.  The land in and around Yellowstone Park has been steadily raising upwards, even pushing much of the water in Yellowstone lake to the opposite side of the lake.


 

 

 

This Just In 01-25-2007

A series of earthquakes have just struck Yellowstone National Park, thus the caldaria (Yellowstone's super volcano) is located where these quakes originated.
We Will update this breaking news as we learn more.

Note: Quake are not unusual for Yellowstone, but these apparently were much larger than normal. We will have to watch and see how Old Faithful is acting over the next few days.

YELLOWSTONE
NEWS FLASH UPDATE

   We received a very interesting/alarming email from one of our viewers in regards to Yellowstone National Park. At first we were not going to post the information, but than again, what if some or all of the information is in fact true? One viewer sent us a link from CNN.com backing up some of the report! 

   We did learn that there is in fact some truth to part of the report in regards to the elk either dying, paralyzed or dead in great numbers in and around Yellowstone National Park, much of which were in Yellowstone county, Wyoming. This (might) be do to gasses that are often released from volcanoes before they erupt. Since Yellowstone's super volcano is massive, it (
might) account for widespread death of hundreds of elk in the Yellowstone region.

   So, as for the rest of this report, we have no way of confirming the information. However, "The Premier Radio Network" (a well known network found on both AM & FM)  reported last night (03-09-2004) that they understand there is in fact a very special "rescue/evacuation drill" to be held in the Yellowstone area.
Several reports now suggest there may be more to this story than what the public is being told. So, we present the following report "as is" and not necessarily as fact.

Special Update!
12-13-2003       

Yellowstone Super Volcano update:

Yellowstone is back in the news again. Yesterday (12-12-2003) in San Francisco, California at the American Geophysical Union Meeting devoted the whole day on the state of Yellowstone with at least two dozen presentations on research

Some scientist are now wondering if an explosion is long over due. Several different papers at the Geophysical Union Meeting focused on thermal and land defamations in Yellowstone.

Satellite radar imaging confirms that there is a large area of uplift, about 30 by 40 collimators (19 by 25 miles) centered under the north rim of Yellowstone's caldera.  Geologist call that, "The North Uplift Anomaly" which began rising up in 1997 a few millimeters a year. 

Writing about this bulge is THE UNITED STATES GEOLOGICAL SURVEY SCIENTIST appearing before the AMERICAN GEOPHYSICAL UNION on 12-12-03, spoke in a paper called, "Stress Transfer Thermal Unrest And Implications For Seismic Hazards Associated With The Norris Uplift Anomaly In Yellowstone Nation Park".

Here is an actual excerpt from that report:

"The spring and summer of 2003 has been a time of vigorous thermal unrest in the Norris Uplift Anomaly... Unrest began with the eruption of Steamboat Geyser in May 2000, and has intensified in the 2003 spring and summer with the eruption of Porkchop Geyser on July 16, which had been dormant since 1989. From April 1 through July 1, 2003, the temperature of waters in Porkshop's vent increased continuously.
There has also been the formation of a 75 meter line of fumaroles just north of the Norris Geyser Basin and a general trend of increasing spring and ground temperatures there. This year, the 'Norris disturbance' began around July 11, 2003, when pronounced changes were noted, including thermal pools that were boiled to dryness, creating fumaroles. (As of December 2003) The National Park Service had to close some footpaths in the geyser basin Owing do to near-boiling ground temperatures! The uplift has also led to an increase in seismic hazard potential in the area of uplift."

Other USGS research this year was conducted by geologist Lisa Morgan who took a team underwater at Mary Bay in Yellowstone Lake. Mary Bay was apparently created 13,000 years ago when a gigantic steam explosion ejected rocks and gas all around the area. Nearby at the bottom of the lake itself, there is what park geologists call a "structural dome" that is 2100 feet across and 100 feet high. Is the dome an indication of more building pressure below the lake that could blow like it did 13,000 years ago? Dr. Morgan thinks the dome is static, but in Mary Bay her diving team reported 250 thermal vents, fissures, geyser basins and 30-foot-high columns of silica that had been deposited.

So... what is happening at Yellowstone? Could all the hot temperature changes, new steam and water eruptions, and large land bulge be related? Are they precursors to a big steam, or water, or carbon dioxide gas, or lava eruption that might be coming?

A December 11th. 2003 interview with Hank Heasler, Ph. D., Supervisory Geologist for Yellowstone National Park in Yellowstone who lives and works in Yellowstone Park said, "It's all related because it is caused by the heat from the Yellowstone volcano as far as this bulge and all the hydrothermal features, all the hot springs geysers, mud pots and steam vents in Yellowstone, are the result of the volcanic forces."

But what about that big bulge under the north side of the Yellowstone caldera that has been rising a few millimeters each year since 1997?

Professor Bob Smith at the University of Utah and his students reported at the American Geophysical Union meeting that they have done seismic tomographic imaging of the bulge which covers 19 x 25 miles. Their seismic velocity data suggest there is leakage of gas, maybe carbon dioxide, causing some of the ground to lift. There is a possibility that there might be some magma movement, but the seismic tomography shows magma only in small amounts under the Mallard Lake and Sour Creek resurgent domes in Yellowstone. The University of Utah data suggests that 90% of the large bulge is solidified. Another possibility for the slowly rising bulge could be superheated water moving underground. Bob Smith went on to say that Yellowstone is a very-very active volcano and that the main question is; is it something to be feared?  "I don't think it's something to be feared, but it's something we need to be aware of and keep our finger on the pulse of." said Professor Bob Smith.

The above information is based on a transcript from The World Premier Radio Network Broadcast of 12-12-2003.

As always, stay tuned here for breaking news before the news hits the main news channels! Worse yet, they may not even cover the story in the news until it's to late for you to prepare to get out of the area fast, 300 to 400 miles fast that is... away from Yellowstone. (Note) This may be all the warning we/you will ever get since we do not know if there will be any further warnings should Yellowstone's Super Volcano Blow.
