Thousands Of Fish Dead In Spruce Creek.... (Florida)

VOLUSIA COUNTY, Fla. -- Thousands of dead fish are floating in Volusia County Tuesday. They were all in Spruce Creek in Port Orange. The fish kill is unusual, according to people who live along the creek, because it's warm.

It's been a week since there were freezing temperatures, but there are fish lining the banks. Some said it's the worst kill they've ever seen; thousands of fish lined the twists and turns of Spruce Creek.

The sheer number of fish and the smell were both overwhelming.

"It was fun last night trying to sleep with the smell going on," said resident Sunny Morningstar.

Buzzards and pelicans flocked to the site Tuesday and swarmed above the water. They filled trees and private boat docks and waited at the water's edge for an easy meal.

Kayakers on the creek told WFTV, that during their five-hour paddle, they'd seen fish around every bend and it appeared to be one of the most extensive kills they had seen.

Residents told WFTV the fish kill is big enough that it's attracting brown and white pelicans from the beach, which are birds they rarely see this far inland.

I think it’s likely they just need to be dosed with Tamifish.

I don’t know. And it’s possible that things filtered thru the media (which does a terrible job in general with medical and science news) is also done poorly. I’m not defending the govt, I’m just saying that often in quickly evolving stories the news is poorly reported, in addition.
I’m keeping an open and skeptical mind.
AND I get really tired of the people who always pop up on these threads telling everyone to stop speculating. How else will the truth ever get out without people tossing out ideas? Will most ideas be wrong? Sure. Might some be right? Yes, maybe. If they don’t like these threads, why oh why do they click on them?

Russia has a take on this with the death of Wheeler.

Whether it is the US Government, the Amish terrorists, or just God warning about the end of times..something seems to be going on.

Wasn’t there something said about blood clotting when this first broke a couple of days ago?

***And hot sauce!***

Which brings up an intriguing question: Will there be hot sauce in Heaven?

Maybe Obama is covering up another oil (or worse) spill.

Diversion and deception. Something you would use before an attack.

This is an easy one. Most dead fish in fresh water sink. After several days of decomposition they float to the surface. Hence the stench when they’re first spotted, i.e. they’re already in advanced decomposition. All these places had below freezing temperatures last week. And now the dead fish have floated to the surface.

Don’t know about the birds though.

Amen. That’s why we must “Prepare To Leave.”
