Rig blowout? Aliens? Nuke Test? Side effects from carbon capture projects?

An earthquake was reported in the Gulf of Mexico Sunday night, hundreds of miles away from Louisiana’s coastline, according to the U.S. Geological Survey.

The small 3.9-magnitude earthquake, located 220 miles from Venice, was first reported at 9:22 p.m., according to USGS data.

The quake was shallow, having a depth of 10 kilometers, reports showed.

Gulf earthquakes are fairly uncommon, but are known to happen, Eric Jeansonne, chief meteorologist at WLOX-TV in Biloxi said Sunday night. There was no tsunami threat associated with the quake, he added.

A similar earthquake was reported in the Gulf in 2023.

Call it what you want. I don’t stroke to that kind of stuff. I’ve been playing in the GOM for three times longer than you have been born.

Louisiana has quakes all the time. They are rarely major in scale. We just don't feel them due to us living in muddy wet marshland.

Confirmed by WAFB: It was a nuke test conducted by aliens that blew out a rig being used for a carbon capture project.
