It Is Time To Cast a Worried Eye

We presume that this earthquake swarm occurred at a shallow depth in the Vesuvian area, given the distribution and the area extent of damages.
In the last sentences of this writing, Seneca asked himself if this disaster in Campania had not "made every man strengthened and resulted (resolved) against all catastrophes."
The reply to his question probably came 17 years later, when Pliny the Elder went to the rescue of the people staying in the area that had been shaken for several days.
As the younger Pliny testified, "for several days before (the eruption) the earth had been shaken, but this fact did not cause fear because this was a feature commonly observed in Campania" (praecesserat per multos dies tremor terrae, minus formidolosus quia Campaniae solitus).
Repair work was underway in some houses at Pompeii and Oplonti Villa when the eruption occurred. This can be considered evidence of intensive seismic shaking of the buildings.
The key things to remember from this account are that the eruption was preceded by shallow quakes and that the residents of Pompeii chose to ignore the signs and went on about their daily lives – right up until their collective demise.
So before people begin to say this article makes much ado
about nothing, keep in mind that that USGS just recently bolstered its number of monitoring devices at Yellowstone with all the sudden increase in unusual activity.
If nothing unusual were happening, why would the USGS be suddenly and dramatically increasing its ability to monitor and evaluate present day events at Yellowstone? More to the point, what will it take for the USGS to sound the alarm if present volcanism trends continue to build?
Here comes the rub. From our point of view, the USGS is doing a good job, but it has to check, double check and be certain to the point of absolute certainty before it issues a real warning. This is because the mentality of American public at large is simple. If you promise a disaster and fail to deliver, they’ll not thank you for sharing your concerns. Rather, they’ll hang you from the nearest tree and slash your agency’s funding just for good measure.
Yup, Lincoln was right. We get the government we deserve and what is tying the hands of the USGS is not some fanatical and diabolical government jerks, but us. Just plain old us, and our naïve insistence that all government warnings about natural disasters must happen as promised – or else!
We often received emails from people complaining about the mockery and abuse they receive from family, friends and co-workers when discussing this topic.
Our view is that this topic should never be introduced to others, until they demonstrate a geniune interest.
Nonetheless, those with a genuine interest in the topic will feel a natural urge to share their concerns about a possible threat to themselves and those close to them. Consequently, the most common questions they ask are, "where is Planet X, and what is the most likely worst case scenario?" GO
As moviegoers flock to see Sony's new 2012 film, critics, debunkers and cynics are spewing forth a flood of poison pen pronouncements.
Taken altogether, it is a bizarre twist on the Biblical story of Noah and the Flood — and with strikingly similar themes.
For those new to the topic of 2012, the film is great entertainment, but it also drives home an ancient failing of humanity. That the common folk are often the last to know, whether by their own choices or those made for them by wealthy and powerful elites. Ergo, many will never ask, "where will I be in 2012?" They'll just have enough time to ask, "My God, what's happening?" GO

Yesterday afternoon, a 4.4 magnitude earthquake occurred just 9 miles southeast of the south
entrance to Yellowstone National Park. According to the USGS, “It is unlikely that there is a connection or triggering mechanism of the earthquake with the increased hydrothermal activity at Norris
Geyser Basin, which is about 35 miles from the epicenter or with hydrothermal features in Yellowstone Lake that have received recent publicity.” However, given the shallow depth of this quake, the volcanism
model developed by Larry Park has suddenly lurched us a huge step towards a worst-case eruption event.
No. The fact that two eruptive intervals (2.1 million to 1.3 million and 1
.3 million to 640,000 years ago) are of similar length does not mean that the next eruption will necessarily occur after another similar interval. On the other hand, we cannot discount the
possibility of such an event occurring some time in the future, given Yellowstone's volcanic history and the continued presence of magma beneath the Yellowstone caldera.
