  2. The puzzle is coming together faster! Seeing how the country will be split in two is clearer. With two compromised salt domes on opposite sides of the country. It appears only thing missing is the Madrid quake.

  3. Excerpts:
    Sand, gypsum, and limestone used for construction purposes are found in abundance. Large reserves of natural gas —over 3 trillion cubic feet—are located under Lake Erie.

    The water surface area is 9,910 square miles (25,667 sq. km) and the volume is 116 cubic miles (483 cu. km).

    Excerpt:
    In Ontario, salt is found along the shores of Lake Huron and Lake Erie, underlying part of Michigan, part of Ohio, and Lakes Huron and Erie. The world’s largest salt mine, located in Goderich, Ont., and owned by Sifto Canada, mines salt from this deposit.

  5. Here is another story related to the original shutdown. Says that the convergence was in an old section of the mine and the air handling systems had to be rerouted to the old section during the analysis. http://www.wksu.org/news/story/36588 I have no idea what the embedded voice recording is about – they must have added it for sensationalism. Kent State University is near Cleveland.

    Here is the correct post to the above Cleveland Plain Dealer Article http://www.cleveland.com/business/index.ssf/2013/08/more_on_salt.html They must have ran this story to not panic the public … surprised it does not state that “there is no immediate threat”.
