Intermountain earthquakes.

There has been a distinct lull of earthquakes in the IMW, including Yellowstone. I find this interesting because lulls in other areas have been followed by very large shakers.

We'll see!

I have also noticed that pattern Bob. Sorta like how it gets really quiet before a tornado drops.

My friend called to tell me about the one in Utah a couple days ago. Only around 2.7 or something. Is that normal?

I'll just say John, I don't know whats normal in earthquakes. I'll leave that up to people like Brad and Vincent. Its just been my experience that lulls are followed by an upturn in activity and then a large shaker. I have spent several years in earthquake prone areas of the world, it seems almost always to be the case.

Western Nevada got a 4.3 shaker today.
Does that count?

I am not an earthquake expert, though as part of my job I download seismic information every couple of days or so. Today, I noticed there seemed to be quite a few little ones up and down the Wasatch Fault. A couple of the nearby ones are at the mine I work at and are not really natural seismic events. They originate from small bounces due to overburden pressures being removed or as the mountain settles down where the coal was removed. It usually is nothing to be concerned with.
All the seismic events depicted on this map are not from one day:
