That said the gulf is still cool which can mean 1 of 2 things it will be very dry this summer in the midwest or they will feel rains like no other depending on the gulf current... I could see it go either way as flooding to drought... Personally I am going with drought..I have already started investing in wheat and corn futures based on that for myself.
As for earthquakes I can also see that as being contributing if water tables go down that means less pressure against the plates holding them in place and as summer comes on the heat will build softing and expanding meaning come fall we could see more activity unless it is a volcanoe like yellowstone or other volcanoe areas.
For those of you that know about oil drilling it is not just sucking the oil out of the ground.. they fill the location of the oil with water so the oil that is 10 or 20 miles below ground or more rises and floats on the oil and the weight of the water keeps the balance of the cavity where the oil was as far as pressure...It begs to question the earthquake that happened in Oklahoma as maybe being a precursor to that being that water tables used to rain have fallen as the ground froze and natural filling of the water tables has not occured as usual due to the cold weather. that also brings to mind that if there is a sudden melt the water would go to the creeks and rivers and flow into the gulf futher cooling the gulf current...
it is almost like the axis is turning over more as we watch the antarctic lose ice now and the arctic gain more then usual and the weather changes world wide.. We may find more extremes in weather and ulitmately earthquakes and hurricanes... Can you imagnine a Earthquake in the Northeast like New york or Philidelphia??
My plants are the same color!
BTW, very interesting comment regarding the oil pumping process, I didn't know that.
