re: How will this saturation effect the New Madrid fault?

Between where the Missouri River joins the Mississippi at Saint Louis, Missouri, and Cairo, Illinois, the depth averages 30 feet (9 m). Below Cairo, where the Ohio River joins, the depth averages 50–100 feet (15–30 m) deep. The deepest part of the river is in New Orleans, where it reaches over 200 fe

I had no idea the Mississippi is that deep.

You can read this as "Before I switched my major to meteorology I was majoring in seismology". Which would mean he was barely out of the non-major and preliminary prerequisite courses phase of his degree path.

Or you can read it as "Before I started internet researching meteorology I spent about two years going down a bunch of seismology, volcanology, and geology rabbit holes"

I wouldn’t be surprised to see minor earthquakes along the fault line in the coming days and weeks. I’m really concerned that this event will trigger a major earthquake.

Maybe. The calendar says 2025, right?

Weather Warfare is a real thing.

HAARP is also a real thing despite the naysayers and denials from Uncle Sam that it was deactivated (it is so powerful that if's EMF that could well target and re-create the New Madrid quake.)

There is an evil agenda in play whether folks choose to see it or not.

That disaster was man made when a salt mine driller pierced the edge of a salt dome in Bayou Corne in Assumption Parish.


I remember the weeks leading up to the sinkhole when residents were complaining about mysterious bubbles in the Bayou that were flammable. Some people thought it was swamp gas turns out it was the oil and gas layers collapsing that were bubbling to the top and eventually Louisiana’s deepest hole in the ground was born. I remember when the Assumption EOC director dropped a 1000 foot tape measure and it reached the end of the tape without touching the bottom.


The gas was so bad of a risk, the driller had to buy out everyone the nearby neighborhood.

I guess we will need to wait and see if ground water becomes a lube to loosen this fault.

Gosh, unless you truly think the Earf is 5,000 years-old, the aquifers beneath that area have had (literally) tens of millions of years to work on that scenario.

CAN it happen? Sure.

Within our puny scale of lifetimes? Probably not.

we've had "1,000 year rainfall" every year.

That was a bullshite test and was done for sensationalism. The hole is only around 300 feet deep. It’s one of the most studied sinkholes ever and there were literally had dozens of scientists from all over the world come in to study it.

At one point Texas Brine paid for weeks of a helicopter with a specialized ground penetrating radar to map the entire area.

John Boudreaux’s test was literally tossing a 500’ tape with a crowbar tied to the end off the side of a boat and the saying the whole thing went in so it must be more than 750’ deep. He didn’t account for the fact that the tape will continue to run out of the measure and just all lay on the ground.

Since the name "Geismar" is somewhere in the name of that place a person from California asked me if their property in Geismar was in jeopardy of sinking.

Imagine that, a sinkhole collapsing under the Miss. River and sucking up property on the East bank.
