Is this happening to anyone else in this area? It makes me think of the houses coming off their foundations in Louisiana was it? The other thing I failed to mention cause I forgot about it was besides the green patches on the water there also seemed to be lights in certain areas. My family members said they thought it might be divers, but I don't know cause they were down there for hours and I have never seen that before when having a fire there, which we have done numerous times in the past. I am really starting to feel sort of freaked out by all of this. Any ideas?? And yes I know, call a plumber! LOL Quoting: TerrorByte 15766346 |

LOL Quoting: TerrorByte 15766346 [link to en.wikipedia.org] Earthquake Light: An earthquake light is an unusual luminous aerial phenomenon that reportedly appears in the sky at or near areas of tectonic stress, seismic activity, or volcanic eruptions. Once commonly challenged, it was not until photographs were taken during the Matsushiro earthquake swarm in Nagano, Japan (which occurred from 1965 through 1967) that the seismology community acknowledged their occurrence.

Are you on a septic or sewer system? if septic, it might be time to pump, if sewer that would seem to indicate sewers backing up, or you have a stoppage. Keep us posted if its not a stoppage. Please no details on that! |

[link to latimesblogs.latimes.com] I don't think so cause it was white light. I had wondered if maybe some sort of lighting had been installed since last summer. But I have never seen lighting installed under the water in a surf zone before. But just cause I have not seen it, does not mean it may not exist. |
Anonymous Coward User ID: 13376778 Canada 07/25/2012 03:43 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I grew up in Long Beach and its unfortunately typical to have some "fume" pockets occasionally I live next to Long Beach and know what you mean about the gas smell coming from the drilling platforms. There are no drilling platforms, to my knowledge at least, off of the San Diego coast. There might be pipes up and down the coastline, but also there are large pockets of oil and methane. I'm thinking that this is more of a natural occurrence, like the ground moving under the ocean producing and oil and methane burp, like what happens sometimes before an earthquake. That's just my feeling on it anyway, I'm doubting that it's from a broken pipe or anything manmade. Gas odors are "normal" in So Cal. Do you remember when that refinery had an explosion and blew windows out? Crazy shit there...lol Actually, gas odors ore not ''normal'' in So. Cal. My husband is from there and reports that you are crazy. |

User ID: 20117911 United States 07/25/2012 04:01 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I wish someone would define "gaslike odor" since OP's vid describes black oil substance aerosole on windshield of car and seen in the air. The smell is like gasoline, right? Not methane as some are bringing up in their posts. Theory why this is aerosoled gas (which it certainly appears to be) are boats/ship disposing of old engine grime/oil not far offshore through hosing that doesn't reach the waterline and blown by wind. Other possibility relates to private or commercial aircraft having got lazy in their disposal and simply release it once they're up and flying. I could see how Chemtrailing pilots would view all waste as dumpable from the sky. Yeah I could. There is a simple answer to this, I'm sure of it. Last Edited by DawaSatso on 07/25/2012 04:07 PM |

User ID: 4897608 Netherlands 07/25/2012 05:56 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I don’t think its coming, I feel it coming, I have been waking up the past week from what feels like tremors but I wake up check the USGS and nothing...like a spidey sense kind of thing. So Cal IS due for a large EQ. But I wouldnt worry about the little ones. They let off pressure You are quite condescending with your replies to some on here. Oh and btw, quakes DO NOT release pressure. [link to seismo.berkeley.edu] Common Myths and Misconceptions Can small EQ's relieve stress to prevent large ones? If you look at earthquake statistics in most regions of the world, including California, you will find that for every magnitude 5 earthquake, there are about 10 that have a magnitude of 4, and for each magnitude 4, there are 10 with magnitude 3. Unfortunately, this means there are not enough small earthquakes to relieve enough stress to prevent the large events. In fact, it would take 32 magnitude 5's, 1000 magnitude 4's, or 32,000 magnitude 3's to equal the energy produced in one magnitude 6 event. |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 9658935 United States 07/25/2012 07:37 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Well we had a fire at La Jolla Shores on Saturday and one of the first things I noticed was that there were areas of the wave that were a kind of fluorescent green color. It was not everywhere but just in some areas. It almost looked like anti-freeze had been pooling on the surface of the water. Quoting: TerrorByte 15766346 It's a Methane Hydrate of some kind : Finally, just looking around with our “alien eye” resulted in one very exciting observation last year: methane hydrates (“methane ice ”), which, at least at the site where we observed them, turned out to be extremely brightly fluorescent, although they were quite inconspicuous under normal lighting conditions (Fig. 5). Methane hydrates, in addition to being a potential energy source, were suggested to have played a critical role in climate change . Our observation may lead to a new approach for mapping them on the seafloor; however, more observations are required to develop a proper technology. [link to oceanexplorer.noaa.gov] |
