Start of swarm: 19:22UTC
End of swarm: 20:23UTC
Note: This earthquake swarm is most likely connected to a magnitude 1.7 at 4.8km in depth. However this earthquake occurred hours after the swarm, far to the northeast of the swarm (the earthquake occurred just north of Yellowstone Lake). Also, this earthquake swarm occurred just off to the southwest of the shores of West Thumb Lake. That means this swarm occurred right under the location of station B944, so that is the station I will use for the following plots. Also, I know it says above that the end time for this swarm was around 20:23utc. And that is true! However, most of the seismicity of this swarm occurred in only 8 minutes, from 19:22utc to about 19:30utc.
Total earthquake count (includes even the tiniest events): ~90 (hard to tell when many are so closely spaced in this swarm)
Reported count: 6
Magnitudes/Depths of reported events for this swarm from newest to oldest (showing magnitude/depth): 1.2 at 1.9km, 0.8 at 3.0km, 1.4 at 2.7km, 1.4 at 6.2km, 0.9 at 2.9km
Largest reported earthquake of this swarm: 1.4 at 2.7km, 1.4 at 6.2km
Largest amplitude: ~18,900 (B944), ~7,400 (YLT)
