New Madrid Fault Zone area (on the right)
The US Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) recently put out a tender or 'Request For Information' (RFI) for a LOT of emergency rations. The reason, in their own words, is: "
to identify sources of supply for meals in support of disaster relief efforts based on a catastrophic disaster event within the New Madrid Fault System for a survivor population of 7M to be utilized for the sustainment of life during a 10-day period of operations"
Is there something they're not telling us? It's interesting to note that many of the recent
animal 'die-offs' happened in the region of the
New Madrid fault zone which stretches 150-miles (240 km) southward from Cairo, Illinois; through Hayti, Caruthersville and New Madrid in Missouri; through Blytheville into Marked Tree in Arkansas. It also covers a part of West Tennessee, near Reelfoot Lake, extending southeast into Dyersburg.
It's true that the area has been rocking and rolling of late with the the U.S. Geological Survey reporting,
more than 500 measurable earthquakes in central Arkansas since September 2010. A magnitude-3.8 earthquake that shook north-central Indiana on December 30th 2010 was called "
unprecedented". It was strong enough to actually cause cracks along the ground and it was felt in portions of Ohio, Illinois, Wisconsin and Kentucky.
In addition, the sun appears to be spewing out some
major solar flares recently. The effects of the associated solar radiation on earth is very poorly understood, at least that's what they tell us.
If the US government knows, or even suspects, that a major quake is likely, they need to tell the people in the area
in advance!
