According to the United States Geological Survey, Yellowstone National Park typically experiences minor earthquakes of a magnitude 2 or below on the Richter Scale. On Tuesday, May 11, that was not the case when a magnitude 4.2 earthquake rattled Yellowstone.

The United States Geological Survey recorded a 4.2 magnitude earthquake inside Yellowstone National Park on Wednesday morning.

If you felt an earthquake in the Casper area today, you are not alone. The USGS reported a moderate quake was registered just to the northwest of the city this morning

I will admit that I'm an earthquake nerd, so I tend to follow earthquakes pretty much all around our region. However, I don't recall ever seeing one happen in the Black Hills of South Dakota...until today.

It's not likely to have caused any real damage, but there was a larger than normal earthquake that was felt near Grand Teton National Park today.

On the morning of January 6th (Wednesday), Wyoming received one of its first earthquakes of 2021, but it seems that pretty much no one noticed, and most certainly no one in Cheyenne.

It was reported as a magnitude of 3.6.

The U.S. Geological Survey says the epicenter was about 20 miles northeast of Jackson.

The quake's depth was estimated to be 4.7 miles below ground.

There were no immediate reports of damage or injuries.
