Some are claiming it was bad data.
From Wiki:
Lake Mead receives the majority of its water from snow melt in the Colorado, Wyoming, and Utah Rocky Mountains. Inflows to the lake are largely moderated by the upstream Glen Canyon Dam, which is required to release 8.23 million acre feet (10.15 km3) of water each year to Lake Mead. Hoover Dam is required to release 9 million acre feet (11 km3) of water each year, with the difference made up by tributaries that join the Colorado below Glen Canyon or flow into Lake Mead. Outflow, which includes evaporation and delivery to Arizona, California, Nevada, and Mexico[6] from Lake Mead are generally in the range of 9.5 to 9.7 million acre feet (11.7 to 12.0 km3), resulting in a net annual deficit of about 1.2 million acre feet (1.5 km3).[7]

Pat Buchannan’s perfidious Neocons live under Area 51.
They got thirsty, is all, so they made a quake to bring some water into their Underworld hide-out.
Now there is a big canyon underneath getting filled up?
Uh, so on the story posted on Zerohedge they have the update that the gov. pointed out that the data was inaccurate and has been fixed. Then Zerohedge says something about “double adjusted” water levels.
Is Zerohedge putting forward a conspiracy that the water levels at that lake are, in fact, dropping at an extremely fast rate and the government is hiding it?
Also, what about the Aliens and the Jews? How do they work into this? I’m sure Zerohedge can work it out for us.
The “sky is falling” website is back again. They should have a picture of chicken little too. Here is one:http://images.elephantjournal.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/the-sky-is-falling.jpg
And here is the MONEY QUOTE from the alarmist article:
“...There is , of course, a possibility that the drop is the result of broken sensors and we will be following up during the week to see if levels normalize....”
Is zerohedge just a renamed debka?
Perhaps instead of waiting for sensors to reset themselves they might send someone out to look at the lake? I know it works wonders for the NOAA when they look out the window.
Revrunt :Louis Farraklown has announced that the JOOS did it!!
speculating....big volcano eruption coming in that area????
Wash.
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.
a visual would suffice for such a sudden drop in the levels...why would sensors be needed?
Zorin that bastard
