North American Plate Factures Reported As Major US Hydro Electric Dam Fails and Oklahoma Meer’s Fault Zone Begins Outgassing

By: Sorcha Faal, and as reported to her Russian Subscribers

Reports from the United States are showing the unremitting pressures upon the North American Plate have accelerated and have just today resulted in the collapsing of a Major Hydro Electric Dam, and as we can read as reported by the Associated Press News Service in their article titled "Dam fails in southeast Missouri; situation called 'very dangerous' and which says:

"The Upper Taum Sauk Lake Dam failed this morning, causing large amounts of water to move rapidly downstream and creating what officials called a "very dangerous situation." The break occurred at 6:24 a.m. at the dam in Reynolds County, about 120 miles southwest of St. Louis. A family of five was rescued, and one person was missing, Reynolds County Sheriff's dispatcher Ginger Bell said. But she said authorities have not yet been able to get to nearby Johnson Shut-Ins State Park.

A National Weather Service bulletin warned that the water would move rapidly downstream along the Black River, creating a "dangerous and life-threatening situation." Residents of Lesterville and elsewhere downstream from the dam were urged to move quickly to higher ground."

To the size of this Hydro Electric Dam we can read about as described by the United States National Academy of Engineering, and which says, "The Taum Sauk Hydroelectric Storage Plant was engineered to take power from other sources during part of the day and supply energy during other hours. The facility is made of four parts: a 55-acre reservoir at the top of a mountain, a 7000-foot-long tunnel, a powerhouse with two reversible pump-turbine units, and a lower reservoir formed by a dam.

The plant produces 350 megawatts by releasing water through the plant into a 400-acre lower lake. Then, at night, the water is pumped back into the upper pool. The process is directed by remote control in St. Louis, 120 miles away."

This dam is also reported by the United States Government to be in full compliance with their laws and was not due for re-licensing until the year 2010.

So prestigious to the Americans was this Hydro Electric Project that they had recently been noted for a prestigious award, and as we can read as reported by the Ameren Energy Services Company September 26, 2005 news release titled "International Group Declares AmerenUE's Taum Sauk Plant an Engineering "Milestone"-AmerenUE Donates $1,000 to Local School" and which says:

“The Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) today presented AmerenUE’s Taum Sauk pumped-storage hydroelectric plant its prestigious “Milestone in Electrical Engineering and Computing” award.

At a special ceremony at the Taum Sauk Plant in Reynolds County, Mo., AmerenUE also announced a gift of $1,000 to Lesterville R-4 School. The school serves the area surrounding the plant. The IEEE award acknowledges Taum Sauk for its many technological and engineering “firsts,” including:

• being the largest pumped-storage plant in North America when it came on- line in 1963 • its high-capacity turbine generators • its ability to be operated by “remote control” from St. Louis, Mo.—more than 90 miles away.

The Taum Sauk plant includes four primary features: the upper reservoir atop Proffit Mountain, a 7,000-foot-long shaft and tunnel, a power house with two reversible pump turbine units and a lower reservoir formed by a dam across the East Fork of the Black River.”

Though initial reporting by American Propaganda News Sources quickly blamed the collapse of this dam on a ‘heavy amount of rainfall’ in the area, that was quickly dispelled by International Media Sources as weather reports showed only a small amount of rain had fallen in the region, and as we can read as reported by Britain’s Guardian Unlimited News Service in their article titled "Person Missing After Missouri Dam Fails" and which says:

"Pedigo said rain was not a factor in the break. The region received only about one-tenth of an inch of rain overnight, he said."

According to Russian Scientific reports on this event the cause of this dams failure was due to the Magnitude 1.9 Earthquake that occurred in Matthews, Missouri yesterday, and which was located approximately 205 kilometers (128 miles) away. The shallow depth of this Earthquake, coupled with it opening a new fault line in this region contributed to the sudden collapse of this dam these reports further state.

The collapse of this dam also coincides with reports from the near Meer’s Fault Zone Region in Oklahoma where a major outgassing event is currently taking place, and as we can read as reported by the Enid News and Eagle News Service in their article titled "Mysterious Kingfisher-area gas geysers leave officials puzzled" and which says:

“Mysterious unrefined natural gas leaks erupting in rural Kingfisher County in recent days continue to have officials puzzled as to their cause. "We originally thought a pipeline had exploded," said Matt Skinner, Oklahoma Corporation Commission public information manager. "We had the pressure to zero pressure, and the leaks seemed to get bigger. So that's not it." Skinner had said at a press conference Monday geologists and hydrologists are beginning to study underground maps of the area to find an explanation. "We've ruled out the probables, and now we're into the unprobables," he said. "We've never seen one like this before, one that covers such a large area. It's another animal."Skinner

said the leak was unusual because of its size and that it was "moving with no explanation."

Russian Scientists have long noted that one of the first areas of the North American Continent that will begin to experience the mid-continent splitting of the North American Plate would in fact be the near Meer’s Fault Zone Region, and which has further been confirmed by United States Scientists, and as we can read from one of the United States reports on this Region titled "Evaluation of Potential Aseismic Creep Along the Ouachita Frontal Fault Zone, Southeastern Oklahoma" and which says:

“This fault is the westernmost of a series of thrust faults within the Paleozoic southern Ouachita fold and thrust belt (Figure 2). The orientation and location of the Choctaw fault are favorable to re-activation in the present-day stress field observed in the mid-continent. Based on our initial field reconnaissance, we cannot rule out the possibility of aseismic tectonic creep on the fault, as suggested by previous workers. In the town of Atoka, the fault traverses a small, linear hill upon which there is an alignment of historic damage to cultural features (e.g., sidewalks, curbs, pipelines, rock walls) from left-lateral ground movement. On the basis of about 140 mm of left-lateral offset of a sidewalk (dated October 27, 1914), we estimate a rate of left-lateral offset of about 1 to 2 mm/yr. In a qualitative sense, this rate seems reasonable given the degree of deformation observed in houses and other cultural features along this alignment i. Early workers concluded that the damage is not related to downslope movement, freeze-thaw processes or dissolution collapse, and instead is due to faulting in the absence of earthquakes (i.e., aseismic creep).”

To these events we have likewise reported on many times, including our November 26^th report titled "United States Prepares For ‘Catastrophic Event’ As US Justice Department Orders New Crackdown on Journalists and Dissenting American Citizens", and wherein we had evidenced the growing numbers of ‘Booming’ earthquakes in North America, and which are associated with Massive Plate Fracturing, and as we reported:

As reported by the Post and Courier News Service in their November 20^th article titled "Quake surprises Summerville [South Carolina]" and which says, "The boom heard across much of Summerville, and the vibration that followed, was actually a little earthquake, the second this year in the area, according to Pete Jenkins, director of the Earthquake Center at Charleston Southern University. The quake, which struck about 3 p.m. Saturday, raised eyebrows and worried children, but caused no damage. The U.S. Geological Survey took note of the event but did not report its magnitude as of late Saturday."

As reported by the KOMO TV News Service in their November 23^rd article titled "4.1 Quake Rattles Bellingham Area" and which says, "A small earthquake shook the area around Deming in Whatcom County Wednesday. There were no initial reports of any injuries or property damage. In the first half hour after the quake, 25 people reported feeling it, describing the shaking as moderate. Some people who called the media reported hearing a loud boom before the quake."

As reported by the Associated Press News Service in their November 23^rd article titled "Tiny earthquake shakes St. Louis region" and which says, "No major damage was reported after a minor earthquake shook the St. Louis region. The tiny quake [2.5 magnitude], centered 10 miles southeast of St. Louis, struck around 11 p.m. Tuesday in East St. Louis, Ill., said Waverly Person, a geophysicist at the National Earthquake Information Center in Denver."

As reported by the Thunder Bay Chronicle News Service in their November 25^th article titled "Big bang shakes up Dryden area" and which says, "What seismologists are calling a “small” 1.5 magnitude earthquake, also reported that the couple heard a deafening bang, like a sonic boom or explosion."

Not just to the increasing frequency of these earthquakes upon the North American Plate, but also to the ‘Boom’ noises being reported that are accompanying them are most significant according to these reports as these ‘booms’ are the indicators of earthquakes of massive plate fracturing, and not associated with normal earthquake movements.

More concerning are the reports from the United States New Madrid Fault Zone Region where these ‘Booms’ are being heard without an accompanying earthquake, and as we can read as reported by the KTVO TV News Service in their ‘sanitized’ November 25^th article titled "Explanation found for mysterious boom" and which says, "The mystery surrounding a loud, explosion-like noise that had much of Northeast Missouri talking Tuesday afternoon is now solved. It was apparently a sonic boom, an explosive sound caused by the shock wave preceding an aircraft traveling at or above the speed of sound."

These reports further state that the only modern day comparison to the earthquake events occurring within the North American Plate today are those of this past years 9.3 magnitude Sumatra earthquake catastrophe, and of which we can read, "This was no small earthquake. It ruptured the planet along 750 miles (1,200 kilometers) of fault. Scientists estimate the Indian plate slipped 33 to 50 feet (10 to 15 meters) under the Burma microplate. The fault shook for at least eight minutes. A typical large earthquake lasts 30 seconds or so. Earth's very gravity balance was altered, and the North Pole shifted by an inch."
