Yellowstone Volcano Eruption in 2014? Are Animals Fleeing Park As ‘An Alert’?
A number of bloggers are posting videos that show bison and other animals allegedly leaving Yellowstone National Park, prompting theories that as earthquakes ramp up the seismic activity will set off the Yellowstone supervolcano. …Tom Lupshu…survivalist and search-and-rescue expert,” said…nearly one quarter of the northern elk herd at Yellowstone National Park are missing…
The earthquake that was felt around 2:24 in the morning of Sunday was recorded to be in a 4.8 magnitude which was said to be the biggest quake felt after 34 years. The tremor struck the northwest portion of the park but prior to the big quake, smaller quakes were already felt since Thursday. After the earthquake was felt in the said region, Yellowstone volcano activity is being monitored since many fears that the volcano might erupt.
Powerful Earthquake Strikes Near Chile, Generating a Tsunami

7.5 Temblor On Puente Hills Thrust Fault Would Be ‘The Quake From Hell’
The Puente Hills thrust fault, which brought Friday night’s magnitude-5.1 quake centered in La Habra and well over 100 aftershocks by Sunday, stretches from northern Orange County under downtown Los Angeles into Hollywood — a heavily populated swath of the Los Angeles area. A magnitude-7.5 earthquake along that fault could prove more catastrophic than one along the San Andreas, which runs along the outskirts of metropolitan Southern California, seismologists said.
KGW reported Wednesday that more than 30 small earthquakes have rattled the ground under the Mount Hood community since Sunday. None have been big, but they have “captured the attention of state geologists and rattled the nerves of some nearby residents,” the Portland television station reported. According to the Pacific Northwest Seismic Network, the largest of the quakes measured 2.3 on the Richter magnitude scale. Some were as small as 0.3 But KGW said that it’s the location of the quakes, not their size, that has scientists taking note. They are along a newly discovered fault.
Los Angeles trembles in anticipation as it awaits The Big One
Sensible residents of Los Angeles have already stocked up on batteries, water and medical supplies in anticipation of “The Big One”: the devastating earthquake that many believe will one day strike. And after years of seismic calm, a flurry of moderate quakes has reminded Angelenos of the dangerous faults that lie beneath their feet. In the wake of this weekend’s quakes, experts have also warned that The Big One could be more destructive than previously feared.

Signs of earthquake off North Korea prompts nuclear test fears
The quake, which was said to have occurred at approximately 03:48 local time, took place at a depth of nearly 16km (10 miles) in the sea west of the Korean peninsula – just days after North Korea threatened to carry out a “new form” of nuclear test.
California Has Been A Mess Of Earthquakes Lately
Something under the earth’s crust is starting to get angry. Even though it’s common knowledge that California is earthquake country, the past few weeks have had several earthquakes that have even reached as far as Yellowstone National Park. For those of you that have never experienced an earthquake, it is both an unsettling and slightly frightening situation. Are we headed toward an earthquake disaster?

New earthquake fears from San Andreas junior
EXPERTS say a bigger earthquake along the lesser-known fault that gave Southern California a moderate shake could do more damage to the region than the long-dreaded “Big One” from the more famous San Andreas Fault.
