BP Blowout Causing Arkansas Earthquake Clusters?
Survivalist News ^ | 07/03/2010

Posted on 07/03/2010 4:10:34 PM PDT by EBH

Do an experiment for me. Take a balloon, inflate it. Get two books and place one on each side of the balloon opposite each other. Now deflate the balloon and notice what happens to the books. The books shift towards each other.

The massive pressurized oil and methane reserve now blowing out south of the Louisiana coast is just like a the deflating balloon. As this reserve empties a huge cavern is being created under the gulf floor. Usually these caverns are back filled with seawater as the oil is removed to stop a catastrophic collapse and make extracting the oil easier. Unfortunately the BP blow out is not being equalized in this manner.

Could the shifting walls of the oil cavern cause the earthquake swarms in Arkansas? Will the quakes grow in magnitude as more oil and methane is released? Could the shifting wall of the oil cavern destabilize the New Madrid fault? How big of a tsunami would be created if the oil cavern collapses?

This looks like an attempt to increase the sale of survival kits.

If the EPA is in charge the virgins would only have to be 99.98% pure. A tough standard for oil skimmers but not so restrictive in the virgin market.

The old CAP has completely lost any seal it had, and it appears to be leaking about as much as it was when the CAP was off. The CAP has been bouncing around for at least two days.

So we have a flat out of control oil gusher on the bottom of the Gulf right now ? No working cap, no collection ?

Could be my septic tank is destabilizing the front range of Colorado. Could be Denver will slide down into Kansas.

Good heavens, Habibi! Hold it in!!!

survivalist source is heavy with the tinfoil. Just looked - no quakes listed in the gulf. Reading the summary at the article clearly shows the author doesn’t know what he/she is talking about.

The total amount of oil leaked to date has been compared to the volume of a cube 300 feet on a side.

That doesn’t sound like the sort of “huge cavern” that would cause earthquakes a thousand miles away, now does it?

The source of this report is slightly less than credible

This area is tied to the New Madrid fault line, which has been active recently. More BS

Does the author also worry about Guam tipping over?

If it brings hits to his website (and more chances to push his wares) then yeah, he does.

And if it's convenient, he'll also believe in:

A hollow earth
Neo-Aztec Space Nazis living in a secret colony on the far side of the moon
The Fountain of Youth located in Detroit (with the gov't. conspiracy to turn the whole city into a sh*thole to hide it)
Colloidal Silver will cure almost everything - along with a convenient link to buy some on his website
You get the idea.

LOL, well it is enough that my birthday is marked as the end of the world, to let some other disaster spoil it.
