Hi Lauren,
Thank you for your kind words. If ever there is a drastic change in the volcanics of Yellowstone, never fear... we'll be watching out for you. :)

The Yellowstone caldera was discovered through the work of Bob Christiansen in the 1960's and 70's; shortly thereafter, satellite images showed the true extent of the caldera. . Regarding earthquake swarms, they are fairly common for the area. The last swarm was in January of this year with over 1200 small quakes recorded; however, according to geologists, the swarm was due to fault slippage and not magma movement. So, yes, swarms are normal for Yellowstone and no, there is no conspiracy to keep the truth from the public. When magma moves, harmonic tremors occur, which leaves its own "signature" on seismographs.
I recommend reading more books on science and watching less Hollywood disaster movies. The situation you describe regarding not informing the public of imminent disaster is prevalent in the movie, "2012," which uses outdated theories and expounds upon them in order to create a world of chaos.
Hope this info brings more clarity to you.

HELLO TO ALL
MINE NAME IS KATHY, I AM NOT YELLING I HAVE A VISION PROBLEM
FROM 1995-2005
YELLOWSTONE NEVER MADE A PEEP AND I DON'T THINK THEY EVEN CONSIDERED IT A VOCANO UNTIL THEY SEEN THE CALDERA DEVEOPE BY AIR OVER YELLWTONE LAKE
AS YOU ALL KNOW VOLCANOS HAVE NAMES ACCORDING TO WHAT TYPE IT IS
THE WHOLE TIME I LIVED THEIR THE ONLY MEMORABLE THING THAT HAPPEN TO YELLOWSTONE WAS THE 1887-1988 FOREST FIRES
I HAVE ALWAYS BEEN INTO EARTH SIENCE
YELLOWSTONE AS YOU KNOW IS A VERY DANGERIOUS VOLCANO BUT UNTIL THEY SEEN THE CALDERA KNOWONE GAVE IT A SECOUND THOUGH JUST A NATIOANL PARK
I THINK THEY SEEN IT BACK IN 2001-2003
GEOLOGISTS, THAT I HAVE READ ABOUT IS DOWN PLAYING ITS EARTH QUAKES SOME LARGE ENOUGH TO FEEL, THEY SAY CLUSTOR EARTH QUAKES ARE COMMON TO YELLOWSTONE
AS FAR AS I KNOW, THEIR IS NOTHING IN WYOMING WHERE CLUSTOR EARTH QUACKS ARE NORMAL, IN 1 MONTH ACCORDING TO GEOLOGIST 1,000 EARTH QUAKES IN 1 MONTH, I DON'T THINK THATS NORMAL FOR ANY VOLCANO, ESPECIALY WHEN THE ARE STRONG ENOUGH TO FEEL
I THINK THAT IS FOR THE PUBLIC TO KEEP PEOPLE FROM BIENG SCARED
ITS NOT A MOUNT SAINT HELLENS OR A RAINIER AND I DOUBT THE PUBLIC WILL NEVER KNOW IF IT EVER GO'S CODE RED
NO, PLACE TO ESCAPE IT NOT TO MENTION FROM WHAT I UNDERSTAND WILL PUT THE WORLD INTO A 5 YEAR WINTER
ME, PERSONALY IF I KNOW WHEN IT GO'S CODE RED, I WOULD BE THE ONLY ONE GOING NORTH ON 1-15
IT DOSENT SCARE ME, I FIND IT VERY INTERSTING
WHAT IS YOUR THOUGHTS ON YELLOWSTONE, SUPER MEGA CALDERA VOLCANO
BEST REGAURDES
KATHY BRYAN
