Watch Cargill Salt Mine, Cleveland, OH. Up-date 2 more Miss. quakes! Edited: 5-04-2015 3:30 PM EST Dutchsince--a great UTUBE channel for all things geological has a very good up-date on the Michigan quake that hit this Michigan near Grand Rapids, Mi. It was a 4.0 pt. and was, as you will hear him say, a very RARE location for a quake in the U.S.A. Don't miss this video--very well presented. [link to www.youtube.com (secure)] ![]() If you haven't seen any "future maps" of the New Madrid Fault Zone and the "sister zone" called the "Saint Lawrence Rift Zone" that butts up on its northern edge--this is a good example. Stan Deyo is the source for this artist's rendition of what they expect to happen eventually. :DeyoNwMdrd: Image is a combination of the predictions from Edgar Cayce and the U.S.Naval Map that was "leaked" in 2013. It shows some possible scenarios for the New Madrid Fault and the Great Lakes ARea. (A very stretched-out Lake Erie is at top center at an angle.) You can see in the image above that there is a stretching and distortion of Lake Erie --the lake ABOVE to the Cargill Salt Mine. Should such a geologic event take place, such as that shown in the image above, the Saint Lawrence Rift would also be affected and part of Lake Erie would drain INTO the salt mine, most likely causing the same sink hole affect as we saw in Bayou Corne, Louisianna following the Gulf Oil Disaster according to some articles. This is a video explaining the "Expanding Earth Theory." It is NOT a conventional theory in traditional geology--even though it is a logical conclusion one would make looking at this animation by Neal Adams. So...why would the expanding earth theory be so massively suppressed? My "take" is simple. If you thought that the earth was expanding ...how would you feel about oil fracking and drilling especially along already identified fault areas? You probably would think it is insane...because it IS insane!

My point is that if these quakes are a significant 4-shock to something larger, it will be the Cargill Salt Mine who suspends mining operations before any other news about this up-tick in quakes makes it to the news.

Thanks Holly...Saw the Michigan quake and it was the first thing I thought of...lucky I did that thread on the Cargill Salt Mine in 2013. I had a bad feeling about their closure even tho the geologic movement was really very small. Still...anything along those fault lines should be reason for a "heads-up!" We'll see. Cheers!

Approximately 2.6 million households are without power afterthe earthquake. Nearly 86,000 injuries and fatalities result from damage to infrastructure.

There is extensive damage and substantial travel delays in both Memphis, Tennessee, and St. Louis, Missouri, thus hampering search and rescue as well as evacuation.

YOU BETTER READ THIS LINK Here is the link [link to www.cusec.org] Thank you Physical...I appreciate your information. Many of us really don't have the science background to be able to really "connect the dots" with all the various news about circumstantial evidence as to what you are describing above. I've been worried since the huge oil rig disaster back in 2011. I had read that the rig had accidentally drilled into an active asphalt volcano--this was a credible source and I was just shocked. (Sorry...I don't have the article link handy but I'll look for it.) It is drilling accidents like this and the fracking we have heard about that makes me think it is just a matter of time before it all comes together for a huge "event" of some kind.
