Hello!
   There was another earthquake this afternoon (Jan. 9) in the same area as the one on Dec. 30.  This one was a 3.7, 12 miles NE of West Yellowstone.  There have been aftershocks.

   Also, in monthly report from the Volcano Observatory at the Univ of Utah, it said that the earthquake on Dec. 30 was followed by 39 aftershocks.  It also said that an additional earthquake swarm occurred Dec. 18-21 about 7 miles NW of West Yellowstone.  This swarm had 48 events (the largest of which was 2.4).  The link for this report is
