Beacon WA

Seismologists say the phenomenon, known as an earthquake swarm, is highly unusual, but has been moving through the wheat belt for the past decade.

Beacon has had 100 earthquakes in the last month. They are calling it a swarm. We don't know much about them and we don't know what it means and we don't know where it is coming from and whether it might herald something more serious. Presumably we are working on this to find out? There is some information here and Yellowstone National Park has been subject to them. They can precede volcano eruptions. Do we have a volcano?! Then there was the thing about the maelstrom off the WA coast....so what is going on over there? Lot of disruption by the sounds of it. There is information about the Manchester swarms here. The Brits appear to have been much more comprehensive and detailed in their approach.
