The earthquake is comparable in power to the devastating San Francisco quake of 1906
Sixty years ago the Yellowstone region was rocked by a 7.3 magnitude earthquake which killed several people and left scars on the Earth that are still visible today.
"We often hear about the potential for large volcanic eruptions of the Yellowstone volcano in the news and on television shows," Jamie Farrell, assistant research professor at the University of Utah and Chief Seismologist of the Yellowstone Volcano Observatory,"However, we rarely focus on the threat of large earthquakes in the region, even though the hazard and risk from these types of events is much larger than a volcanic eruption because they happen so much more...
These scarps—which can still be seen today on the Hebgen Lake and Red Canyon faults—damaged highways, which along with landslide, trapped several tourists in Madison Canyon on the day of the quake. "By the day after the earthquake, at least 289 springs in the geyser basins of the Firehole River had erupted as geysers; of these, 160 were springs with no previous record of eruption," Farrell wrote."At least 590 springs had become turbid [cloudy or opaque.] During the first few days after the earthquake, most springs began to clear, but several years passed before clearing was generally complete.

New Forced-Retirement Community Opens For Local 60-Year-OldsTAMPA, FL—Offering a “safe and friendly environment” for newly jobless older residents, the Pine Meadows Forced-Retirement Community opened its doors Friday to local 60-year-olds who have been hastily ousted from their workplaces by downsizing. “We here at Pine Meadows are proud to welcome all of you who aren’t quite in your golden years, but who nevertheless have no choice but to accept that your productive days are suddenly a thing of the past,” said facility director Phil Garsten at the grand opening, noting that the community offers a variety of residence and meal packages at price ranges to suit any substandard severance package. “Our facility offers satellite television, fully equipped game and exercise rooms, nightly social activities, and dozens of other entertaining diversions from the ignominious disgrace you’ve suffered after decades of thankless service to your former employer. And our attentive staff is ready around the clock to listen to you try to make sense of how things could have ended up like this.” Garsten added that the facility also features its own replica office environment, where residents can perform basic work tasks during the day to make them feel as if their lives still retain some semblance of purpose.
