    Nothing major, as earthquakes are pretty usual for them, but it's still pretty interesting. There are no known injuries, deaths, or damages.

    As i said in the thread I posted earlier, one step closer to eruption. Hope none of you guys live near yellowstone, because if your luck is bad enough, you might not be able to get away. Still, I'm hoping I get to Japan before that sucker goes off if I'm still alive when it does.

    Scientists are using suspended animation, or at least looking into it, to help with crime investigation, an old Black Death burial site is being dug into to make it feel like the bad beginning to a different take on "Jurassic Park" (Bonus: Apparently it was an airborne illness, which means it was pneumonic and not Bubonic, and if we get it again: we're all dead), and a particularly notable tremor (not an Earthquake) right over top the super volcano that's got everyone always talking and worrying.

    Yup, tonight I'm not sleeping. Disney songs, nearly unlimited Pepsi, and Fanfiction writing. Alert me when the world begins to end.

    Worth noting for the sake of humanity: Apparently a 7.something earthquake hit Yellowstone in 1959, and nothing happened then. Yes, I know the source is Wikipedia, but it's a start for those interested; it's not my term paper.

    This spoke to me. :| I'm not too worried about this baby popping yet like I was when I was 10. Its been 11 years since then and its had its moments of attention but I don't find Yellowstone's a threat anymore. Very cool tho! xD
