Yellowstone is currently also apparently feeling grouchy. I've heard speculation that the 5.8 earthquake epicentered near Lincoln, MT a couple of weeks ago (just about right on top of one of the gem & mineral club's favorite collecting sites, which we'd already visited this year) may have been caused or worsened by something geological going on under Yellowstone.
Damn quake shook me outta bed. It's 45-50 miles from my front door north to connect to Interstate 90. When we leave Missoula we use exits 101 for westbound and 104 for eastbound. The exit for Lincoln is 30 miles east of Missoula. My neighbor was trying to figure out what the hell was going on when I stumbled out of bed and reminded him that this is my SIXTH quake of magnitude 5 or greater (so far 4 in WA, 1 in OR, and this 1 in MT) so I know whereof I speak when I say "Yep, earthquake!"
