3.0 EARTHQUAKE IN LOUISANA !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Having not getting farther than your post in this thread, I'll just say that I've been pondering some things. Let me say right away that quakes in that area are usually seen after the onsurge of water weight from tropical storms, at least, I've seen it before. - btw, I don't think the recent/current venting has made a dent...wasn't the pocket stated as 30 sq mi, or something? I dunno.

I think the real human impact on any seismic activity in the La./GoM region is the years of pumping out the oil, in the Gulf, and onshore in La, Tx. Ark, Ok, etc.

But what's been on my my mind the natural state of the Mississippi Delta; it's naturally a subsidence zone. I forget how much NO has sunk over the years.

Anyway, I'm of the opinion of greater interconnectedness, over a larger area, of faults situated above river basins and the Gulf, covering, basically, all of the NA continent, but specifically the entire Miss., Ohio, Missouri River wateshed areas, the Great Lakes [& bisected by the Ardvison Linament (from ~ Charleston, through Yellowstone, to Van Isle)....

...and what's REALLY been on my mind is there being an underground connection somewhere from the Gulf gas deposit and the Hugoton NG Area and the CONSEQUENCES of them using a nuke [+, the possible of them collapsing caverns & creating a tsunami].

these oil companies

3-4 EQs happen here every year. Dont be total doomtards. Do your homework.

Post facts and links or die shill.

Here's a six month map for the SE, Central US

"There are 305 earthquakes on this map."

Yeah being a southerner DOES mean you should be more polite to people, especially to begin with. If they persist with attacking you, etc...THEN unleash the beast lol. But OP wasn't attacking you in any way.

And he also isn't mixed up OR talking crazy shit!

Earthquake acctivity is increasing ALL OVER the planet. IT pays to keep up and keep your eyes open!

People have misinterpreted earthquakes.

Magnetosphere

The pressure of earthquakes shifts tectonic plates creating solar wind 4 times greater to the ambient solar wind observed in the bulk flow speed.

yeah it was...

but then I thought about it...

I'm going to check a fault in my field. I figured it was from the rising of lfood waters and taking some of it back to river, it used to be flat and now it is 4' lower/ ok may 2'. I'm going to check. lemme know what you think.
Y'alll have taught me to be more specific and scientific about things. Just cause I see, does not mean that I draw the correct conclusions. and thanks to all. love ya karen/la

did you just say that your dumps register more than that? ha ha ha ha

LMFAO

OK. So glad cuz cut down the field last night. or I would have not been able to tell anything. which is what I could tell.
The field was flat in 1957 and about 1970.
but it has since changed (land dropped)all behind my house to the river.
I couldn't see no damn difference. Nothing major anyway.
I don't know how to tell if I don't have one of those thingy's that surveyor's? use.
any way that you know of to tell how far it drops/ month/ year?

Maybe you should inform USGS.

They know what's happening. they don't need me to tell em
prob dropping because of the river / soil erroding down to the riva

nuc gallery, collapsed?

I'm over here in Houston and I swear I felt that tremor last night. It only lasted for about 3 seconds, but I remember thinking "This feels like a rocking motion."

Did anyone else in Houston feel it? Off and on now for months I've felt movement.

I haven't read through the entire thread because I got irritated with the bashing of the OP. Why do people feel like they have to belittle someone on the Internet?

A 3.0 is rare for Louisiana. Look it up. And with everything else going on, it seems they can't catch a break.

Geesh. Lighten up, people.

I haven't read through all of the replies but I think this stems from the New Madrid fault. An earth science professor that I had a couple of classes with was concerned about the New Madrid fault even back in 1976. He said that 2 thousand pounds of silt were being deposited where the Mississippi River enters into the Gulf every day, and that eventually it would cause another earthquake comparable to the big one that formed Reelfoot Lake way back when. But I do have to say that he was crazy because he and his wife did a double suicide some years ago because their health was bad. I still think that he was a pretty smart man though.

Thank you for sticking up for me! Not to worry, I don't give two shits about the morons (note my spelling of this word shills) who don't want to look truth in the eye. If a person wants to look the other way or deny the truth, I don't understand why they are here. If they don't like the kind of threads here, why bother coming.

Meanwhile, BP is doing their usual maneuvers, cancelling the top kill they were to start this evening to do some tests. Yeah right. They probably have been doing the tests since yesterday, with all the eruptions going on down there over the last day. After all, they were supposed to start the kill this evening so it only serves to reason that they were testing the last day. Is that related to the EQ? I have no idea. I'm no expert and don't profess to be. I don't know how these people can watch those cams and see what is going on, knowing we are only seeing what they let us see, and not have great concern about an EQ in Louisiana even if it is ONLY a 3.0. They don't have to worry, I'll do it for them because I actually do give a crap about what is happening to the Gulf and the people who live there. I hope I never get to say "I told you so".

Again, thanks AC 1056009. Wish there were more of you on this site.

Dude...you're the idiot for thinking OP is an idiot for posting. As many have stated, a 3.0 in Louisiana is VERY RARE. Also, given the recent oil spill and the concerns regarding that deposit, it is a bit more concerning.

So, why don't you go back to humping kangaroos (or koalas), or whatever it is you people do for fun in New Zealand.

Yea, but mine are catastrophic!

dude you have problems.

Don't let the shill/basher get to you.

As I watch this thread unfold, it is quite obvious who the shills are.

Which is sad, really. You'd think the government would spend our tax dollars on people who were smarter than this. Maybe they are outsourcing to prisons, like the did with the gulf clean up crews?

Dr Deagle musta pissed his pants

Were any telephone poles damaged ?

I must have been sleepwalking all day. I didn't connect to this thread until now. I was reading on Oiled in Florida's site and the same reference was listed there and then I remembered the reference to the article here. Here is the link to the article for the subject information in the GLP post above.

This is really interesting. At the top of the article there is a map. It appears that the earthquake and the DWH well may both be located on the Cretaceous Shelf Edge, which is thought to be connected to the New Madrid Fault. Take a look.

^^^agree with you 100%^^^

I don't think so, but a few shills took some residual damage on this thread!
