'We've ruled out Satan': Mysterious hole in the ground shooting out 12-foot-high flames for 40 minutes in Arkansas leaves officials stumped
___________________________________________________________
On September 17 a hole in the ground shot out 12-foot flames for 40 minutes
The blaze broke out on a private property in Midway, Arkansas at 4.30am
Weeks later, officials are still clueless as to what caused the inferno
Officials have ruled out meteorites, a gas leak and Satan as potential causes
Soil samples from the area are yet to be tested and could reveal the cause
Geologists determined that the hole was made by animals but have no idea how flames would have started shooting out
Baxter County Judge Mickey Pendergrass believed someone ignited the fire on purpose using a clean fuel
Arkansas authorities are scratching their heads to figure out how a small hole in the ground spewed out 12-foot flames last month.
The bizarre hole, located on a private property in Midway, Arkansas, released a fiery display on the morning of September 17, yet officials are clueless as to how the hole opened up.
On that fateful day the hole released a spectacle of furious flames for about 40 minutes, shocking bystanders. Then it suddenly stopped.
Baxter County Judge Mickey Pendergrass joked that he's ruled out Satan as a possible explanation for the fire - as well as meteorites or a gas leak.
'As far as the spiritual Satan goes, we've ruled that out. He didn't come up and stick his pitchfork in the ground and blow that hole out,' he said to the Arkansas Democrat Gazette.

And the green grass grew all around....................
How’d they rule out Satan?
Because Hillary isn’t in Arkansas right now.
I’m surprised they didn’t rule out Islam Terrorism already. That usually comes first.
no pentagram around hole
They called the Secret Service and asked where Obama was..................
Maybe the critters built a small campfire underground for warmth, it got out of hand, and burned an area that had not burned in a long time.
Cue the Bill Murray pics... (Sorry, I don’t have any handy)
Back in the 1920s, or 1930sa gas company wanted to drill on some Arkansas mountain land for exploratory purposes. They got the permits, and bought rights to drill, and they hit gas.
The well exploded, and all that fire coming out of the ground convinced those hillbillies that the company had drilled into Hell and the devil was coming out to get them. It was about fifty years before any company was allowed to drill that area again. Now it has lots of gas wells in the area.
This may be in that vein.........................
Because it conflicts with their progressivist religious belief.
So exactly how’d they ‘rule out Satan’? They yelled down the hole “Hey, is that you, Satan” and didn’t get a response?
Start drilling.
“They yelled down the hole Hey, is that you, Satan and didnt get a response?”
They did get a response: “No!”
Darn groundhog tried to fry a turkey... and burned his own house instead...
