Horton said he has never seen such a combination of tremors before from the same area at the same time.Just trying to help Horton narrow things down a bit. The tremors could be caused by giant subterranean spiders released by gas fracking operations.
“Yes, it does lead to a lot of questions and that’s really where we are,” he said. “We have a lot of questions as to what’s going on and not a lot answers.”
He said the long-period tremors could be related to something connected with natural gas, but he cautioned that was speculation.
“There is something going on with these very long-period signals, and we don’t know what it is … I haven’t figured it out yet,” Horton said.
But could also be a sign that Isaac has stirred up enough leftover BP oil in the Gulf to awaken Geauxjira.
At Rising Tide this weekend we'll be talking at length about the effects of oil and gas exploration on our South Louisiana ecology so maybe some better answers will emerge there.
But keeping all of this in mind, it might also be helpful to note that LSU is playing Auburn this week which, historically, has also tended to disturb the earth in the Baton Rouge area.
Update: I picked the Earthquake Game video in haste this afternoon without watching it all the way through. Had no idea it carried a religious tag. Hilarious.
