What the Heck Is Happening in Upper Michigan?





Earlier this week, residents of upper Michigan reported hearing the sound of an explosion in the woods. When they investigated, they discovered a mysterious crevice had suddenly appeared. The crack was over 600 feet long and up to five feet deep in places. And it's growing. There have been no earthquakes in the area. So what do you suppose could have caused the fissure?

Anyone out there in Michigan feel like doing a little investigative reporting for Ananka's Diary?

Weird! Too bad I live in Wisconsin. I just found out that Wisconsin is the most haunted state in the U.S. Freaky!

That definitely sounds interesting... Maybe some sort of sinkhole-ish thing is occurring? Or and underground river is eroding the rock beneath that piece of land?

that is so cool.

if that happened where i live, no one would be very worried-the san andreas fault is about 35 minutes or so away. still, though......if that happened near my house, me and one of my friends would be busy at work 'investigating' and cooking up theories. maybe some cryptid, maybe a ghost, maybe slender man.
(actually not the last one, my friend is so paranoid about that that she wont let anyone say the name out loud near her and at any mention of him will say a quick prayer for safety. so scratch that last idea.)

Dear Everyone:

I don't think the New Madrid Fault runs through Wisconsin. I'm uncomfortably near the San Andreas Fault here too, but it's not the only one. I still get a laugh about the earthquake simulator building at the nearby university -- they built it atop the Rose Canyon Fault! Then they topped it with a neon sculpture. All that handblown glass tubing....

Sorry I can't find a fault reference, but the structural engineering faculty were joking about it at the dedication ceremony.

Oh, and my parents live about two blocks away from San Andreas Road in Santa Cruz County. Guess how it got THAT name!
