    This is probably part of the strange phenomenon and climate change that our mother earth is experiencing at the present time. Other strange events/phenomenon do happen in the other part of the world.

        Interesting stuff, Bravo.

        You bear a striking resemblance to Frank Zappa.

        People often say I look like....

        Are you a scientist yourself?

        I do some Geo tech and have seen several sinks here in Central Florida

    This IS a very dangerous situation and I hope that "Homeland Security" will treat it as critical and that the government can tear themselves away to pay attention. Being where it is I can imagine how long the evacuated people will be away from home while the local, state and federal admins push papers around.

    It is also very interesting and I learned something. Thanks Bravo.

    Scary. I am on the left coast (west) and haven't felt any earthquakes although they are going on all around me in every direction. Praise God if we live another day! (or not)

    I like that they put in the title of the video "possible" huge catastrophe. All these conspiracy theorists have their theories about this that or the other but how many of their theories actually become fact? I can just imagine these people sitting there praying that one of their predicted disasters come true just for a bit of excitement in their lives.

      Quite a few "conspiracy theories" have proved out true in the long run. Remember - when Hitler started out anyone who pointed to that outcome was also called a "conspiracy nutcase".

      However --- this is NOT conspiracy theory. It's SCIENCE. Not sure what planet YOU live on - but this is exactly the way things work on planet earth. They did stuff that may have some very dangerous consequences later. A sink hole DID form - and what kind of toxin has been released from it? Now you are telling us that it's "conspiracy theory crap" that more might happen, too? Good answer. Explains everything, doesn't it?

      Get a grip.

        Rob back in the 70's they where blaming the chemicals used in the Orange groves for the sinkholes popping up then. They where leaching into the aquifers and eroding the limestone walls. They also said at the time that they where combining with other chemicals and creating chemical compounds that where in the water supply and had never been tested on humans.

    Good find, Bravo. The Cascadia Subduction Zone just got even more dangerous. The reason that the earthquakes and volcanoes are active is natural activity - and I track that. Nothing really abnormal in the number of them considering we're in a magnetic pole shift. Knowing about these "storage" areas really puts a new light on the issue, though. Freaking Yikes.

    When I lived in CO in the late 80's early 90's I once talked to a geologist who was working to get storage of nuclear waste in old mining shafts stopped. He had quite a bit to say about that issue and how that will cause earthquakes and the complete scope of the risk of using old mine shafts for nuclear dumps. I wonder if he and his other scientist friends were ever able to get them to stop doing that.

    Kurt - do you know anything about that one at all? Even anything about "official" info about whether they stopped doing that or not?

      This is now more of a Nevada question than a Colorado one...Unless the law has been changed, all nuclear waste is to be stored in Yucca Mountain in Nevada.

      BTW...Here's something for your site. There's been over a dozen small earthquakes in part of Eastern Texas that doesn't get earthquakes.

      Each quake has taken place within a couple of miles of natural gas/fracking wells. Apparently, it isn't the actual fracking causing the quakes, it's when they pump the water back into "disposal wells" that is causing them.

      Here's a few links, more on Google:
      Study links fracking and earthquakes - SFGate

      How Fracking, Drilling and Earthquakes Are Linked | StateImpact Texas

      There's also studies showing that there are more man-caused quakes. Increased quakes have been found around huge sky scrapers, as well as large man-made reservoirs.

    Sal - the guy in the video above does cite several areas with nuclear waste associated with this same phenomenon on the US map - and there was only one that wasn't a nuclear threat - (Wisconsin) - this was about 'mystery booms' in N IL, N IN and WI. (assume these 'booms' are underground explosions) - cited salt domes are MI, AL, LA -

    Either way the danger is either a Butane gas explosion ("100 Hiroshimas") as in LA or Nuclear "debri" otherwise - maybe a 'cocktail' - pick your poison. (depending on how close together the salt domes are) and of course if a (sink hole) develops.

    My first thought while watching the graphics etc was 'Sal is going to love this' (topic not situation)

    I do, Pat - I freaking love science. I just hate that any time anyone talks about science that isn't the "official" regurgitated mumbo jumbo they seem to think the tag "conspiracy theory" belongs in there somewhere.

    I almost stopped watching when he started talking about heightened number of earthquakes - but glad I didn't. The number of quakes is up a tad from the previous decade - but we're in a pole shift. I thought he was going to blame the quakes on the salt domes - but he didn't. He seems to know what he's talking about from what I can tell. I'm sorry about that because that means this is an important issue and not just someone creating sensationalism.

    What I am wondering is if the salt domes in the gulf are also being stuffed. Freaking Yikes. From what I have been able to gather is that the floor is still leaking and the sludge is so heavy that it has changed, or should I say almost stopped, the oscallation. There are a LOT of places on the planet getting well messed up because of that. So we haven't completely killed life on earth yet - how else can we help that along. Hmmm - hey, lets stuff the salt domes with toxic waste and gas. KEWL.

    We need to remove politicians from authority over anything to do with the environment and hire scientists real fast to see if they can resolve the mess the politicians have allowed to be made for the benefit of corporations. AND - corporations have to realize that they are composed of cells called humans and it's kinda stupid to kill all the humans if they want to continue to exist themselves.

    I don't think we can save this planet in any form we recognize. I think it's too late. Just trying to figure out if anywhere is safe and how long it's going to take to go down.

    what? can you imagine??? (being facetious here)

    Sinkhole: DNR alerted weeks ago, could have been prevented, company says - National Human Rights | Examiner.com


    and the "spin" is in full-force - don't worry about anything because the bubbling is not related.

    AND there is nothing in the air yet so don't worry.

    Geez that makes it all ok then.

        If there are, I'm sure we aren't going to know about it until something goes wrong. Nobody probably would have ever known about the salt dome dumping if things hadn't become dangerous.

    Yucca hasn't happened yet. There's some argument going on about it. They were also talking about some rock formations in Minnesota - but I think they said "no freaking way".

    There are man-made earthquakes going on - but they are not as strong as real ones -- yet. I'm sure if they can find a way to make enough damage to make a large quake, it's been done and is in the waiting. I'm looking at this with an interest in how far off of the Madrid Fault or other fault lines connecting to it this stuff is going on. If one of those shakes hits a fault line that's under pressure, we might just see that lake in the center of the country. Lake Mississippi. Of course - they'd fence it off on both sides and charge people $5 bucks a day to get near it. Wonder how strongly radioactive it will be. It might spread the radiation out far enough to not show up in the fish. Will take some tourism from the great lakes - but will give us opportunities for a LOT of jobs.

    LOL. crap.

      HeySal, if the pole shift is true, things are about to get a lot worse before they get better. I have seen a few documentaries on the idea, and it would absolutely cause mayhem for 100000 years...

      Wow... Lets hope not.

        Pole shifting...

        Scientists understand that Earth's magnetic field has flipped its polarity many times over the millennia.
        Many doomsday theorists have tried to take this natural geological occurrence and suggest it could lead to Earth's destruction. But would there be any dramatic effects? The answer, from the geologic and fossil records we have from hundreds of past magnetic polarity reversals, seems to be 'no.'

        Sensationalism and fear mongering. Electromagnetic pole shifts happen every hundred to two hundred years. Actual reversals not so frequently. The sun just did a magnetic pole flip (complete reversal in 2009). The last shift in the early mid-1800's probably wasn't even noticed by the population. The ground moves a tad because matter aligns with the magnetic pole so you get a few more quakes than usual - a few - not the monstrous, shake the world apart strings that some people fear. When the poles are actually ready to snap in again for a while magnatism decentralizes - you get multiple poles and a lot of localized anomalies - then suddenly it's over and the general population is clueless anything ever happened.

        The pole shift that could cause massive damage would be a geographical pole shift. If it is a small one it's about the same as a magnetic pole shift - but a large shift could cause havoc. There's evidence that happened before and some scientists purport a geographical pole reversal or major shift (a quarter turn or more) might have been the actual demise of the dinosaurs. "Official authorities" refuse to accept that one. Money, credentials, yadda yadda. I would have to do more indepth study to make up my mind on that but it's extremely plausible. They would need to find some clues to an event major enough to make the pole shift very majorly and very quickly. An astral body passing close enough to knock earth off its axis - or possibly that asteroid they think hit was large enough to put a little extra spin on.

        As far as the current shift - it's a shift and not a reversal and I wouldn't count on much excitement generated from it - even if it totally flipped.
