The Rain in Spain…, I mean Tennessee
I have updated the list of sinkholes related to low pressure disturbances and added another half dozen or so. Most of these sinkholes opened up a few months BEFORE a low pressure system (hurricane, tropical storm or massive flood) approached. A few opened up at the same time as a low pressure disturbance arrived. Hurricane Sandy created quite a few sinkholes in the NJ/NY area as she arrived along with what I believe were the original sinkholes the particles orbited into in up State NY.
Once interesting one on the list is from 2010. A large sinkhole opened up in Shelby County, TN and shutdown the highway. Massive flooding also occurred in the area.
The May 2010 Tennessee floods were 1000-year[1] floods in Middle Tennessee, West Tennessee, south-central and western Kentucky and northern Mississippi areas of the United States of America as the result of torrential rains on May 1 and 2, 2010. Floods from these rains affected the area for several days afterwards, resulting in a number of deaths and widespread property damage.[2]
Two-day rain totals in some areas were greater than 19 inches (480 mm).[3] The Cumberland River crested at 51.86 feet (15.81 m) in Nashville, a level not seen since 1937, which was before the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers flood control measures were in place. All-time record crests were observed on the Cumberland River at Clarksville, the Duck River at Centerville and Hurricane Mills, the Buffalo River at Lobelville, the Harpeth River atKingston Springs and Bellevue, and the Red River at Port Royal.[4]
What gave me the heebee jeebees was the fact that the radar during the storm had a large black spot near the location of the sinkhole (I did not add that, it is on Wilkipedia. I am guessing this may have been the radar center, but it just freaked me out a bit and I thought I would pass that feeling on to you and get it off my shoulders…
What I am learning is that multiple sinkholes tend to open up in the same geographic location over the period of a few weeks and the weather in the area appears to be influenced for months while those strings are in place. Need a good rainstorm or snowstorm? Just get you one of these particle strings and let it do its magic. Just don’t walk over, drive through it or fly through it because if my theory is correct it will slowly condense you also.
If you have gotten to the point with this blog that you are saying “Holy Sh_t!” you and I would be on exactly the same page.
Godspeed
