Anonymous Coward User ID: 10055443 United States 02/17/2012 10:51 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | A few weeks ago after a hard rain this area had an overwhelming sulfure smell, today (no bad weather) the overpowering smell is throughout the whole town. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 1405576 Heads up, this happened before massive New Madrid earthquake. And strange activity there? Where in NE Arkansas are you? My hometown is Pocahontas. |

User ID: 4625912 United States 02/17/2012 12:42 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Oh no! Day before yesterday I went home for lunch and I told Mr. Wonderful "Something smells funny" and I always get concerned because I have an acute sense of smell for (natural) gas. But this didn't smell like gas, just strong and strange. I go back to work (8 min drive away) and get out of the car and the smell is there too. And now that I read the title of this post, it did smell like sulfur! I'm in southern Maine. :-O |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 10847510 They burn dead chickens and all kinds of things rather than letting their runoff go down creeks and rivers to Oklahoma. Oklahoma's been suing all the chicken companies over runoff into streams. North East Arkansas oh, well, that'd be arkansas state U or the new madrid fault cracking open? |
Anonymous Coward User ID: 1459834 United States 02/17/2012 02:51 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | When all the animals that live in holes start coming out of their safe areas in order to be outside ... THEN ... I would start to worry. Fwiw I would think the sulfer smell would be around for a few days or weeks before anything would happen. Because the New Madrid is a DEEP (not surface) fault complex it is much harder to model or understand than a fault complex that comes close to or even reaches the surface. Last time around, though this local was not in the direct line of fire, the shaking was alledgly so bad that most chimneys toppled over. St. Louis and Memphis ARE however in the direct line of fire and they could have a LOT of their older unreinforced masonary buildings collapse (and both of those towns have LOTS of those type of 1800's buildings) if a repeat of ANY of the quakes of 1811 & 1812 were to reoccure |
