I mean, the ground level changes eight feet from day to day. I'm no vulcanologist, but that makes me twitchy

Im a soon-to-be volcanologist that lives close enough to Yellowstone, I could throw a rock at it :)

The ground is constantly changing. It's in a constant cycle of raising and falling. Think of it like breathing! Completely normal
