Holes in the ground are holes in the ground, it doesn't matter if they are UNUSUAL or USUAL. If the holes in the ground have water in them and they freeze, when they thaw there is a good chance there will be quakes.
We know there have been ABRUPTLY increasing temperatures throughout the upper Midwest and that includes Wisconsin. Clintonville is near Green Bay. If there are drilled wells for fracking or othewise, the geologist should have seen this coming. I am quite sure Lake Michigan finds its way into its banks and quite possibly aquifers.
Fracking should never be within 100 miles of more of residential or agricultural WATER SOURCES. Never. It is a horrible technology and causes more problems than it solves. It endangers lives. This is probably another dynamic from it. Of course because people are in danger from the fracking activities it is simply an expected side effect.
Quaking is quaking. It makes sense to me that it happens at night when the air is changing temperature between night and day.
Chalk it up to Human Induced Global Warming. I don't believe anyone should be counseling residents into believing any false sense of security, if it doesn't exist. People need to be safe.
Clintonville, WI (Northland's NewsCenter) --- Four days worth of booming (click title to entry - thank you) sounds that have rocked Clintonville, WI continue to perplex residents and experts.
According to WTMJ in Milwaukee, WI, police received dozens of calls for 6 hours Tuesday night of reports of booming sounds, vibrating and rattling through their homes.
The calls stopped around 11 P.M. Tuesday night, but resumed again Wednesday morning around 5 A.M. The booms and ground shaking have been going on since Sunday.
Geological experts have been working the past two days trying to figure out what could possibly cause these unusual booming sounds and shaking.
According to WMTV in Madison, experts have already ruled out an earthquake. Also, no sewer or water problems have been detected or gas line problems. No military or mining projects were going on in the area either. Experts have also ruled out a rare weather phenomenon called frost quakes....
