It looks like the recent earthquake swarm at Yellowstone is over

[fishwax]

No earthquakes since Thursday, and nothing above a 0.8 in the last week. This was apparently the second largest swarm recorded at Yellowstone (1985 was the largest, and was actually much bigger in terms both of quantity and the size of the quakes). So if you were worried about the super volcano erupting because of this latest swarm, you can rest a little easier now (Unless, of course, this is just the calm before the real swarm :scared: ;).)

For the record, swarms are pretty common at Yellowstone, and they aren't a sign that the volcano is in danger of eruption. This year's, though, was particularly large (http://www.nytimes.com/2010/02/01/science/01yellowstone.html).

1. Good. Because a Yellowstone eruption would suck.

Actually, it would blow, but not in a good way.
