A 4.8 magnitude earthquake (originally reported 5.4) shook Las Vegas and surrounding areas Friday morning causing roads and bridges to be closed. The quake went little-reported outside of local news (since there was at first glance minimum damage caused) but, since the quake's occurrence, something considerably more worrisome has occurred.
In the 36 hours since the quake's occurrence, water levels at Lake Mead have plunged precipitously. While we know correlation is not causation, the 'coincidence' of an extreme loss in water levels occurring in the aftermath of one of the largest quakes in recent Vegas history does raise a suspicious eyebrow - especially when there has been no official word on the precipitous decline.

It’s a renamed ‘The Onion’. Here’s a classic:

speculating....big volcano eruption coming in that area????
Naw, that happened on the 19th. They’ve been tractor beamed to the mutha ship!!!
Wash.
lol.
I’m sure environmentalist will hate them for one reason or another. What happened to this country? we used to be so industrious. well I should say what happened to California?as far as israel, they usually do the right thing. Common sense reigns over there. Here not so much.
Levels adjusted.

At least Tyler has a sense of humor. He states:
Dare we say it: double seasonally-adjusted water levels?

The Hoover Dam (originally called The Boulder Dam) is 142 metres high and the reservoir impounded by it contains a maximum of 35 Gm3 of water. Filling began in 1935.
The first shocks were felt in September, 1936. In the following year, as the water height of the lake reached 120 metres, 100 shocks were felt. In 1938, seismological stations set up in the area recorded several thousand shocks that would not otherwise be perceptible by man. On May 4th, 1939 – some 10 months after the reservoir had risen to a height of 145 metres, and when the water volume had reached its normal capacity of 35 Gm3 – a serious shock (with a magnitude of 5) occurred. Seismic activity further increased in the following years.
In all, 6,000 shocks were felt over an area of 8,000 square kilometres within a ten year period after the start of filling. In August and September 1972, two other serious shocks occurred in the area around Lake Mead. Both were of a magnitude of 4 and occurred during short periods when the volume of water stored in the lake was nearly 40 Gm3.
Significantly, there had been no reports of earthquakes in the area for 15 years prior to the filling of the lake – although the area is geologically complex (being composed of granite and gneiss, pre-Cambrian schists, Paleozoic formations, and Tertiary volcanic rocks) and several faults had in fact been identified bordering the lake.
I love reading Louis’s paper.....FInal Call for Strange Alcohol......
a visual would suffice for such a sudden drop in the levels...why would sensors be needed?
Don't forget the Bankers! Oh, wait. In the world of Zero Hedge, the Bankers are just a subset of the Jews.
Never mind.
It’s happened before....

Over 40 years ago, a construction crew in England found a large chain connected to a 6 foot wooden plug. They pulled on the chain and when it dislodged, water flowed out. Many miles away, a lake drained dry. Does any one recall that happening?
Zorin that bastard
Desalination, hell. They have $68B bullet trains to build.
Speculation but not well-informed speculation.
It;s a puss-filled boil on the face of this planet. Who cares?
“plunged precipitously”
What are we talking here? one Inch? One foot? twenty feet? What do the drama queens at zero hedge consider a plunge?
The nerds in Silicon Valley have figured out how to teleport water from Lake Meade to drought-stricken California.
