A Force of Nature -- Hebgen Lake Earthquake
2001. On August 17, 1959, one of nature's most powerful forces was unleashed in the Madison Canyon, just outside the border of Yellowstone National Park. The canyon was packed with people, cars, tents, and trailers. At just before midnight a massive earthquake shook the canyon and in a few seconds, changed the land and the people forever. The Madison River Canyon Earthquake area provides a vivid reminder of how the landscape and the people were suddenly changed on that August night. This video tells the story of the Hebgen Lake Earthquake.
The 1959 Yellowstone Earthquake
At 11:37 p.m. on August 17, 1959, a magnitude 7.5 earthquake rocked Montana’s Yellowstone country. In an instant, an entire mountainside fractured and thundered down onto the sites of unsuspecting campers. The mammoth avalanche generated hurricane-force winds ahead of it that ripped clothing from backs and heaved tidal waves in both directions of the Madison River Canyon. More than two hundred vacationers trapped in the canyon feared the dam upstream would burst. As debris and flooding overwhelmed the river, injured victims frantically searched the darkness for friends and family. Acclaimed historian Larry Morris tells the gripping minute-by-minute saga of the survivors who endured the interminable night, the first responders who risked their lives and the families who waited days and weeks for word of their missing loved ones.

M3.5 at Yellowstone, M4.2 in Montana, Interesting Seismic Increase, Kilauea Lake, and More!
Please utilize the parts sections below if this video is too long for you. Remember, a lot of what I say in my videos are open to additional interpretation and criticism. There was a very strange seismic increase a few days ago that I just had to make a blog post about. I talk about that here and the recent activity in Hawaii.
Parts:
00:01 – Yet another M4+ event in Kansas
03:34 – New Kilauea lake now looking more like groundwater
10:55 – Strange seismic increase within a 20 hour time range (multiple M4s and a M5.4)
13:48 – M3.5 at Yellowstone was the largest in 2 years
16:27 – M4.2 in Manhattan, Montana (Are these foreshocks?)
20:26 – M4.1 in Canada, M4.2 in Kansas, M5.4 off Oregon Coast

Quake Lake ( 1959 Yellowstone Disaster ) Earthquake
Quake Lake (officially Earthquake Lake) is a lake in southwestern Montana in the United States. It was created after an earthquake struck on August 17, 1959, killing 28 people.[2] Today, Quake Lake is 190 feet (58 m) deep and 6 miles (9.7 km) long. US 287 follows the lake and offers glimpses of the effects of the earthquake and landslide and visitor center is just off the road. The lake is mostly within Gallatin National Forest.
The earthquake measured 7.5 on the Richter scale (revised by USGS to 7.3) and caused an 80-million ton landslide, which formed a landslide dam on the Madison River. The earthquake was the most powerful to hit the state of Montana in historic times. The landslide traveled down the south flank of Sheep Mountain, at an estimated 100 miles per hour (160 km/h), killing 28 people who were camping along the shores of Hebgen Lake and downstream along the Madison River. Upstream the faulting caused by the earthquake forced the waters of Hebgen Lake to shift violently. A seiche, a wave effect created by wind, atmospheric pressure, or seismic activity on water, crested over Hebgen Dam, causing cracks and erosion.
The earthquake created fault scarps up to 20 ft (6.1 m) high in the area near Hebgen Lake and the lake bottom itself dropped the same distance. 32,000 acres (130 km2) of the area near Hebgen Lake subsided more than 10 ft (3.0 m). Several geysers in the northwestern sections in Yellowstone National Park erupted and numerous hot springs became temporarily muddied.
Within the immediate vicinity of the earthquake and resultant landslide, a few dozen cabins and homes were destroyed. Overall damages to buildings and roads were minor with damage costs placed at 11 million dollars in 1959. Aftershocks up to 6.5 on the Richter scale continued for several months.
Yellowstone Earthquake Swarm - Possible Uplift near Ridgecrest and Coso Volcanic Field?
Please utilize the parts sections below if this video is too long for you. Remember, a lot of what I say in my videos are open to additional interpretation and criticism. Don’t forget to check out my most recent video about spectrograms! In this video I show recent seismicity for the Coso Volcanic Field/Ridgecrest, CA area. I also show GPS deformation data for the area which seems to suggest, possibly, uplift (swelling of the ground) is occurring near Ridgecrest, CA. Why would that be? You be the judge.
Parts:
00:01 – Intro/Recent spasmodic tremor in Hawaii
02:46 – Recent seismicity near Coso Volcanic Field and Ridgecrest, CA
06:03 – Is the ground swelling near Ridgecrest? If so, why?
16:17 – Recent swarm near Lower Geyser Basin, Yellowstone
20:15 – Data from B207, which was closest to this swarm

2.0 EARTHQUAKE HITS WEST YELLOWSTONE MONTANA DECEMBER 1 2016

Earthquakes & Seismographs Yellowstone. Please read!
From 1,000 to 3,000 earthquakes typically occur each year within Yellowstone National Park and its immediate surroundings. Although most are too small to be felt, these quakes reflect the active nature of the Yellowstone region, one of the most seismically active areas in the United States. Each year, several earthquakes of magnitude 3 to 4 are felt by people inside and outside the park.
Earthquake damage from the 1959 event in the Yellowstone Plateau.
Earthquake damage from the 1959 event in the Yellowstone Plateau.
Although rising magma and hot-ground-water movement cause some earthquakes, many occur as the result of Basin and Range extension of the western U.S. This tectonic environment has created a series of regional faults that are responsible for large and devastating earthquakes in the Yellowstone region along the Teton and Hebgen Lake Faults. Most recently, a devastating Mw 7.3 (Ms 7.5) earthquake in 1959 killed 28 people and caused $11 million in damage (1959 dollars). The majority of the damage occurred as a result of a large landslide that was triggered by the quake.
Geologists conclude that large earthquakes like the Hebgen Lake event are unlikely within the Yellowstone Caldera itself, because subsurface temperatures there are high, weakening the bedrock and making it less able to rupture. However, quakes within the caldera can be as large as magnitude 6.5. A quake of about this size that occurred in 1975 near Norris Geyser Basin was felt throughout the region.
Earthquakes cannot be predicted yet, but modern surveillance conducted with seismographs (instruments that measure earthquake locations and magnitudes) and Global Positioning System (GPS) instruments that measure slow ground movements help scientists understand the state of stress in the Earth's crust that could trigger earthquakes as well as magma movement.

10 Things to do in West Yellowstone Montana
There's so much to do in West Yellowstone, MT, a gateway town to Yellowstone National Park. Living just north of the Park, we have spent a lot of time in that area but we also love the west entrance of West Yellowstone Montana. It's got a very retro, historic ambiance to it with plenty of fun things to do before you even go into the first national park. And it's not just for RV campers. Here are 10 of our favorite things about this wonderful Montana town.
Bonus tip: The Slippery Otter pub is a great place to grab a beer.

Ride along Highway 287 in Montana alongside Hebgen Lake. Lake was formed in 1959 when a 7.5 magnitude earthquake struck the area. The earthquake cause a vertical rising of 20 ft along the fault. You can see us approaching, then passing, the site of the Madison Canyon landslide that was caused by the earthquake. It killed 26 people were killed and 19 are still buried.. The landslide created Hebgen Lake. Dead trees on the lakeside were killed when the lake was formed by the backed up water from the landslide.
