813 Quakes in 11 Days at Yellowstone. (Not to Worry.)
Yellowstone National Park is a restless place, even in the calmest of times. Tiny earthquakes — and sometimes not so tiny — are part of life in one of the world’s most seismically active and mysterious regions. But scientists said Monday that one of the biggest earthquake swarms ever recorded in the park took place in the last week of 2008 into early 2009, with 813 quakes in 11 days, most of them deep under Yellowstone Lake and felt by almost no one. Only one other swarm, in 1985, was more intense. Records go back to 1973. A sign of looming geological upheaval? Posted: 7:07:34 AM
