Why the Earthquakes so near Area 51?

[Recovering_Democrat]

[Recovering_Democrat]

and so is Art Bell.

[Chad Fairbanks]

Oh, it's just the government testing a new space-based earthquake weapon...

[al baby]

They are cunductings test on a new system baby nukes

at least thats what i overheard while at the suncoast resort

[Windsong]

YAWN...

[StriperSniper]

and so is Art Bell.

My first thought. But isn't "The Kingdom of Nye" a bit to the East?

[Seeking the truth]

I live in Las Vegas and did not hear or feel anything. There was an Air Show at Nellis today (tomorrow too!)

[TaxPayer2000]

better question:

Why is area 51 so near the earthquakes

[John H K]

All the mountains of Nevada got there through earthquakes over millions of years; it's an extensional region and the blocks "float" and rise on one side and dip on the other.

[Enterprise]

That's what I thought too. It's just a super secret military black box off budget earthquake machine. It will be a while before it will trickle down and be available for commercial use.

[fatima]

al baby,

[al baby]

Is tha a form of endearment

[fatima]

Of course,al baby.It's hard to find someone-being an alien.

[Lokibob]

Those are nothing earthquakes.
20,000 lbs of explosive causes a 2.1 quake.
They may be testing MOAB's.

[cyborg]

I am ready for my high commander's broadcast... I'm sure he will be talking about it tonight.

[editor-surveyor]

Why the Earthquakes so near Area 51?"

They are near the Mammoth Caldera.

The area has been rising for 40 years, and the U.S.G.S. once issued a warning to leave the area due to a high probability of major eruption.

Campers sleeping in meadows have been asphyxiated by gasses rising to the surface.

[Salvation]

Where can we drop Reid so that he's in the middle of the earthquake?
