i was sitting at my pc a couple of hours ago, and thought i detected a faint rumble
under my feet. mmhhh... someone blasting in the neighborhood? tornado nearby?
Heavy heavy thunder in the distance? I asked the spouse, and he didn't notice anything
unusual. Was it just me? well the pet iguana actually had a strange look on her face. i
just went on with my day. CNN tuned in to listen to kerry/wolf, when they mentioned an
earthquake detected in the Gulf of Mexico about 250 east of tampa. I have lived most of
my 50 years in different parts of FL, and have NEVER felt even a slight tremor (ok, i have when
near shuttle or rocket liftoffs, but that was yesterday!!)
well, it got me thinking about the Gulf and recent DRILLING activity. You know, the DEEPEST
ever attempted in the gulf of mexico. and WHERE did the Drilling occur?

Jack #2 well at Walker Ridge Block 758 in the U.S. Gulf of Mexico.
Chevron announced discovery of the Jack prospect in September 2004. It is approximately 270 miles southwest of New Orleans and 175 miles offshore. Chevron is the operator with a 50 percent working interest. Devon (NYSE: DVN) and Statoil (OSE: STL) each own a 25 percent working interest.

having trouble actually mapping the drilling location (Help Please?)
I know this is all speculative, but i think the timing is a little troubling. any experts out there
who can fill us in on real info?
Anyone else feel the little rumble this morning?
I guess if california can experience hurricanes along with their earthquakes, it must be time for us Floridians to experience a little earthquake to go along with all of our hurricanes
Louisiana better start building those levees to withstand
bigger hurricanes and a few earthquakes on the side to oil exploration
