Thank you for the pictures, Oreally. How high is the level compared to a normal dry winter?

I'm not sure. I only moved to the area a few years ago, and the past few years, except this one, we have had lots of snow to melt. But, as you can see by the water level marks, the water is as high as it mostly ever gets.

Red Baron · Mar 24, 2012

The booms and shaking are -not- stopping. Another night rocks Clintonville.

The city administrator, the MSM and USGS may have been way too quick to declare this whole event as a non-starter and an isolated harmless event.

I am still amazed (actually I am not) at how the scientific community just wants this to all go away.

Booms, ground shaking returns to Clintonville Friday

Saturday, March 24, 2012 8:50 a.m. CDT

CLINTONVILLE, WI (WTAQ) - Clintonville residents say the booming and shaking returned Friday night.

Police say there were 10 reports of booming and shaking from 8:30 p.m. to 10:30 p.m. Friday. Authorities also say they got two reports after midnight.

On Thursday, the U.S. Geological Survey confirmed a 1.5 magnitude earthquake hit the city in Waupaca County around 12:15 a.m. Tuesday. Geological experts say loud booming noises can accompany earthquakes.

This all began last Sunday night, when residents first reported what were, at the time, mysterious booms and ground shaking.

Officials with the city continue to say that residents are not in any danger.

I found this website. I'm not sure what I'm looking at, but the temperature chart caught my eye. Is it normal for the water to show a sharp rise in temp over a few days?

http://waterdata.usgs.gov/usa/nwis/uv?04079000

I'm not sure it's unusual given our weather - which was extremely unusual. We had temps over 80 degrees every one of those days that it was going up. Last couple of days it was in the 50's, and you can see the water temp going down. (I live 18 miles from the Wolf River)

That is your Condition Orange Indicator.

It means they know something is going on but they have no clue.

Thus it is the only thing they can say at this moment, especially with -no- proactive efforts being made by the authorities.

The role of government is to pick up the bodies and to protect itself, not you.

The Great New Madrid Earthquake was a very singular event not equaled by any other seismic event in recorded human history. Even to this day traditional science has difficulty accepting and grasping what transpired before, during and after the great upheaval.

Bizarre effects like earthquake weather, earthquake lights, strange booms, piezoelectric phenomenon, etc. are still treated as folklore by many mainstream scientists but do appear in numerous accounts dedicated to the event.

The New Madrid Earthquake was actually a series of four or more 7.0 – 8.0 earthquakes spread out over months. Some will even say there may be evidence that at least one quake approached a 9.0 magnitude.

The only other event that has so transcended modern scientific dogma is the Tri-State Tornado of 1925. Again, an example of an event that to this day that totally challenges the “conventional wisdom” regarding extreme natural disasters.

I do not think Clintonville is going to be swallowed into the bowels of the earth but I do see the USGS making a very belated and a very half-hearted attempt to join the party.

The frequency, duration and intensity of the shaking and booming at Clintonville does not jibe at all well with the USGS account of a single M 1.5 earthquake which was produced almost as an afterthought by the agency.

There is a lot we don't know and may never know about the NMSZ quakes of 1811/1812, there are lots of diaries floating around out there still with stories of the events. One this is certain is that NMSZ sits atop a rift volcano, how much that played into things we won't know until well have another 8.5+ quake in that same area. My dads family lived south of DuQuoin, Il, and then over towards Cahokia and down into the bootheel area of Missouri at the time and stories handed down through the generations was of a very terrifying time for that part of the country.

LightEcho · Mar 24, 2012

Sounds like a microcosm of Amerika.

They are sitting on a volcano that is giving warnings of erupting and they say all is well.

I think we will see volcanoes open up in places that have long been quiet. The quiet days are over.

Is Clintonville sitting atop a volcano as well??? Just asking cause I didn't see anything in a google search that would indicate that they are. Now there is one right over the canadian border, and one under the UP of Michigan (some say Lake Superior).

WisconsinGardener · Mar 24, 2012

According to this, there was a volcano in Marathon County:

http://addins.waow.com/blogs/weather/2011/07/a-volcano-in-wisconsin

but that's about 55 miles northwest of Clintonville.

They were also saying that the granite bedrock of Clintoville transmitted the vibrations very well. Isn't the very fact that there's granite evidence that there was volcanic activity at some point in the past?

Here is a map of the bedrock of Wisconsin:

And everyone is absolutely certain this is not the military playing war games and testing artillery?

I was reading somewhere else that something like this had happened before and the military totally denied they had anything to do with it.

Then months down the road it came out they had everything to do with it and finally they told the truth.

Explosives don't have the same acoustic signature, and they don't have a ELF-LF signature like these events do. They also won't sound about the same volume 30 miles away, like these do. And sound like they have no direction when you walk outside your house. Artillery and other point source sound sources have a detectable direction.

That might be referring to injection disposal of liquid chemical warfare wastes into a borehole. Microquakes started, so they stopped. After a quiet period they started injection again and the Microquakes started again. This went on for a while with them saying it wasn't them until they decided it was.

Thanks for this update, Red Baron. I was wondering if the action had tapered off. And all of this because of that 1.5 quake, lol. I wonder if we'll ever know what's really going on? sigh

Jazzdad · Mar 24, 2012

They are measuring the frequency of occurrences by the number of calls that are received at the police station. Many people probably work outside of town and aren't home except at night, so more calls. It will be interesting to see if there are more daytime calls on the weekend.

We had some of these kinds of sounds around here last year (SW NH). I always chalked it up to people shooting and blowing things up - something that happens quite frequently around here. But some of the sounds were like thunder on a completely cloudy day. Then we had a 2.6 EQ about 20 miles away and the sounds stopped. My dog freaked when the EQ hit but gave no warning beforehand. We will have to work on that.

I'd be hauling ass out of there too. It's just too weird.

If a tree falls in the forest and there are no humans around to hear, or see, the tree fall, did it still fall? Fewer people around during the daytime means fewer witnesses to the booms. Also sound sounds differently during the day time, things like machinery, traffic, etc., affect how we percieve sound during the day versus during the night. Loup explained the sound thing earlier in the thread.

I posted this about the New Madrid way back in 2005.

Most of the links don't work anymore the way they are (in the original thread), but I'll post some of them to the main sites individually below (the one below work). Lots of good info, used to be some really good maps, some of the sites "consolidated" so not sure how many are still available. I know some of the stuff has disappeared completely, some has been combined with other stuff.

There are a lot of good links hidden in a couple of them, just time-consuming for those who might not want to dig around looking for things.

I understand about the sound-round here it is interesting. We are not too far from an interstate. During the day you hardly notice it but at night it sounds right next door when you are outside.

But even at that it is still noticeable.

just seems these sound there run from like 9PM to 3AM give or take....even during the day *someone* has to notice them and wonder.

they may well notice it but don't say anything about it out of fear of being labled a nutcase. Another thought for those that are around during the day in most small towns tend to be mothers with kids, tv and video games blaring, and the elderly who may not hear the sounds very well.

Or in the daytime it might be mistaken for some kind of industrial noise---bulldozers, trash trucks emptying dumpsters, a car on the road---any number of things. So people DO "hear" the sounds, but their minds just dismiss it as 'normal' business-day 'noise' like one of those. At night, however, when folks KNOW there aren't supposed to be things like heavy machinery running and the like, they hear the noise and actually NOTICE it, because they know it is out of place.

Perhaps there is a civilization yet unknown to us living inside or underneath the Earth?

The Bible teaches this to be true.

1 And the fifth angel sounded , and I saw a star fall from heaven unto the earth: and to him was given the key of the bottomless pit. 2 And he opened the bottomless pit; and there arose a smoke out of the pit, as the smoke of a great furnace; and the sun and the air were darkened by reason of the smoke of the pit. 3 And there came out of the smoke locusts upon the earth: and unto them was given power, as the scorpions of the earth have power. 4 And it was commanded them that they should not hurt the grass of the earth, neither any green thing, neither any tree; but only those men which have not the seal of God in their foreheads. 5 And to them it was given that they should not kill them, but that they should be tormented five months: and their torment was as the torment of a scorpion, when he striketh a man. 6 And in those days shall men seek death, and shall not find it; and shall desire to die , and death shall flee from them. 7 And the shapes of the locusts were like unto horses prepared unto battle; and on their heads were as it were crowns like gold, and their faces were as the faces of men. 8 And they had hair as the hair of women, and their teeth were as the teeth of lions. 9 And they had breastplates, as it were breastplates of iron; and the sound of their wings was as the sound of chariots of many horses running to battle. 10 And they had tails like unto scorpions, and there were stings in their tails: and their power was to hurt men five months. 11 And they had a king over them, which is the angel of the bottomless pit, whose name in the Hebrew tongue is Abaddon, but in the Greek tongue hath his name Apollyon. Rev. 9:1-11

There is even a king running it.

The beast of Revelation comes up from the same place to rule the Earth.

8 The beast that thou sawest was , and is not; and shall ascend out of the bottomless pit, and go into perdition: and they that dwell on the earth shall wonder , whose names were not written in the book of life from the foundation of the world, when they behold the beast that was , and is not, and yet is. Rev. 17:8

Perhaps this civilization is getting ready to make "first contact?"

Well since the bangs happening at night, perhaps they are banging on the roof trying to get us to shut up and go to sleep?

Update on Clintonville 'booms'

Police: 3 reports Saturday night/Sunday morning

Updated: Sunday, 25 Mar 2012, 10:05 AM CDT
Published : Sunday, 25 Mar 2012, 10:00 AM CDT

CLINTONVILLE - We continue to keep an eye on the situation in Clintonville.

In speaking with police around 4 a.m. Sunday, we learned residents had called in a total of three reports of 'booming and shaking' Saturday night into early Sunday morning.

Two calls came into the dispatch center before 9 p.m. Saturday and one call came in just after midnight Sunday morning.

Residents reported hearing booming noises and some reported feeling their homes shake.

Geological experts say loud noises and shaking are common after earthquakes.

The U.S. Geological Survey confirms a magnitude 1.5 earthquake struck Clintonville on Tuesday.

City officials say there is no immediate danger to the public.

Since when has it been common? Especially after a M1.5? C'mon, you geologic "experts" are late to the party and you know it. Another example of the herd instinct common in the scientific community now.

Hope people don't notice this is not normal for a dinky 1.5 regardless of soil/rock type, and change the definitions of the geological events these things really do normally precede.

I've lived in So Cal my entire life. Have felt many earthquakes much, much larger than 1.5. In fact, I've never to my knowledge felt a 1.5, too small. After much larger quakes, shaking and loud noises are NOT common unless we're having a fairly good sized aftershock.

You can never compare how EQs sound/feel in CA to how EQs sound/feel East of the Rockies or in the Midwest.
