Is The North American Craton moving again? There is evidence to suggest it has come to life. Details inside.

I think this will be a bigger event then just a major earthquake? The trees have been dying since early August here on the east coast. The birds also started migrating in early August. We had massive flooding a few days ago, and an earthquake 2 weeks ago. Not to mention the mass animal die offs and pole shifts in early 2011.

Put all this together along with obamas speech yesterday and that movie 2012 may be quite accurate on the approaching destruction of the US.

My guess is what has been speculated on this forum for months now, We are heading toward the next ice age.

Lol...it's the ENTIRE state. 99% of Texas is in severe drought stage. In fact, the only area where we are in moderate drought stage is the DFW and we're surrounded by wildfires.

The Virginia quake? You trying to say they injected oil into the fault? Or you saying by creating an oil spill they activated that Virginia quake?

Hey, Mahala, I had another weird idea. When I was catching up on what I missed, I saw a link to another thread about the roots of the continents being loose. I haven't had a chance to read yet, it will have to wait 'til tomorrow. Here's the thought...remember the theory(?) about the continents being connected? What if what's happening isn't so much about collapses and the usual eq damage. What if it's about the continents completely shifting to new positions again? Just a strange thought from a very tired woman. Catch you guys in the daylight!

An interesting article from my neck of the woods on ancient fault lines.

A very appropriate Title to the article..... fits right in for today....

Ancient Fault Lines May Have Become Re-Activated

That Earthquake in Indiana is the region where the Failed Rift of millions of years ago lays. If that rift is reactivated the whole area could possibly sink, Bringing with it the great lakes.

And IMHO the New Madrid would also go.

I think it has to do with the fracking process. At least the rumbles in Texas. I have lived here all of my life and have watched this beautiful state be STRIPPED of it's natural resources. Beginning with the cattle trails in the 1880s (? bad with history dates, which I was not alive for but I have read about growing up with Texas History) causing the deserts in mid-Texas to the oil wells springing up everywhere. There is an oil well literally across the street from a park and a hospital. There are homes across the other street from the well. We've sucked this land dry and sent jolts through the bedrock with the fracking process. I've read info stating that there is no tie between earthquakes and drilling...I don't believe a damn thing in those reports. Rick Perry has sold Texas out and if anyone thinks he won't do the same to the U.S. is blind. Perry cleared the way for the Barnett Shale project, and I believe that with the HIGH heat temps for 4 months baking the clay and the removal of the natural gas pockets are causing these earthquakes. Perhaps it's dis balancing weight with the flooding in the U.S., tsunami's and earthquakes in other regions. Think of a game of Jenga where you are removing the bottom layers first...doesn't work.

Birmingham Alabama just had a 3.0 EQ. First one I've ever personally felt. Very strange for this area.
