Where in Wyoming is it?

Neither here nor there.
Have been having ear tones all day, and an insatiable appetite for corn, but didn't get it posted here due to having a major deadline.

It's southeast-ish of Jackson Hole, so am not all that concerned about Yellowstone at the moment. Sucks for the people in the area of the quake though.
Not all that unusual for Yellowstone, although a little bigger than the average run-of-the-mill events. Hoback is just outside the park to the south.
Speaking of odd earthquakes, does anyone know if there was a named cause for the 2.8 earthquake about 6 miles north of Baker City, Oregon (that puts it under or near I-84) on the 25th? As far as I know it's an odd place for an earthquake (no, it wasn't Hanford) and when I did a search on historical seismic activity for the area I only found earthquakes with epicenters hundreds of miles away that caused damage in Baker City.

The last report I read said that the Yellowstone caldera had enough to fill the grand canyon!

Mexico's Colima Volcano erupted yesterday.
This link gives two excellent videos of the eruption:

Not that his belongs here on this thread, but not sure how to bring up the Fukushima thread.
Typhoon Lionrock to barrel into Japan's northern Honshu Island on Tuesday

They like to avoid using the name "Fukushima", but this one appears to be headed right over the top of it. Only as a Category one, but with all those leaky poor quality "Temporary" storage tanks it still seems like a big deal to me.

I am not trying to be a "prognosticator," but something weird has been happening at my home the past couple of days.
I'm getting a much-deserved "quiet-time" right now as the rest of my family is off visiting or vacationing (I preferred staying home to TRY to pull my house into some order) but my dogs have been "scaring" me.
I've kept them on their normal routine (which, in these HOT summer days, consists of bringing them into the cool basement--even though they're outdoor dogs who normally prefer being outdoors--but I'm not going to let them do that in this oppressive heat during the days). I let them out again by sundown when it finally cools off, and feed them their dinner. But for the past two nights, after they eat their dinner, they go "weird" on me--- instead of doing what they "normally" do--which is lay down contentedly under some bushes in the yard or the yard swing, where they've dug some nice cool (huge) holes to lay in (that I'm going to have to fill in this fall)---they come onto the (hot) back porch, whining and crying DESPERATELY to be let in. Now they're not usually very keen on being in the house---(even though I let them in in the winter when it's very cold)--because the floors are so hard (even if they lay on their beds) and their old bones are like mine--arthritic--and they don't do to well lying on hard floors. So usually they don't want to spend more than a few moments indoors---but the past two nights they've acted like they're panicked about something---BOTH of them are whining, crying, and carrying on (even my GS Sweetie who is normally quite laid back)--and then even after I let them in they can't settle down, but keep panting and pacing and whining---and coming up to me & crying or jumping up on me---unable to settle down, VERY unusual.
NOT. LIKE. THEM.
I even told Lady (the Border Collie) last night---"Girl, you're scaring me. What is it you're afraid of? Is there an earthquake coming or something?"
She looked at me rather desperately as if she wished she COULD tell me what is wrong.
Tonight they seem a little calmer....
But could dogs in GEORGIA sense an oncoming earthquake in WYOMING?
curiouser and curiouser...
Anybody's else's pets acting weird? I've always heard they are more sensitive to oncoming earthquakes than humans are...???

Had some dairy friends in Alaska in 1964. Suddenly, the entire herd busted the fences and headed for the mountains. They are staring at this phenom when the Good Friday Quake of 1964 hit. The cows had sensed it some minutes before. My friends were way up the Matanuska Valley so little damage but there was no doubt in their mind that something had happened.
One of the things I watch for is earth related events in correlation with human events or activities. Just a "hobby" as I find some very interesting coincidences at times.
This quake happen between 4-5PM in that time zone on the Saturday which was the end of the conference. The conference adjourned at 2PM. I am sure the attendees were winding down their various cocktail parties, expect that the real discussions happen in quiet conversations during the "non-structured" times.
The quake happened about 50 km to the south east. Pretty sure it was felt in Jackson, WY. The quake was 10-100 times the intensity of the usual quakes scattered in that area. Statisticly, this quake intensity is relatively rare compared to the bulk of the quakes within 200 km of this epicenter.
Eyes to see, ears to hear. SomeOne making a 'statement', giving a warning?

The pups may be missing the rest of their people.
That in itself will make them edgy.

The dogs probably were not picking up on the Wyoming quake unless it set of a "ringing" under the Earth which is possible; more likely is they feel something coming closer to home - anything from a thunder storm, local fire or perhaps New Madrid waking up.
I'd pay attention but not panic...

Of course, there's no reason the dogs weren't responding to something coming a little closer to Georgia ... not to forget that one of the biggest earthquakes (an estimated 7.3 magnitude) in recorded history on the East Coast was in Charleston, SC on Aug. 31, 1886 (and the 130th anniversary is just three days away).

We've had some mild storms lately, but earlier in the year we had some real hum-dingers, and those didn't even FAZE them---so why would they suddenly develop a fear of something they've never been afraid of before?
And these past two nights, there haven't been any storms nearby....
Very weird...and kind of unnerving, for me.....
