As they did in the Winter of 1811-1812, Earthquakes pose a serious but somewhat obscure threat to the Central United States! The largest sequence of Earthquakes in the history of the contiguous 48 United States were produced by the faults in the New Madrid Seismic Zone.

PLEASE READ DESCRIPTION BOX BELOW! THANK YOU.
Facing the very real prospect of losing EVERYTHING at the Mercy of the severely flooded Mississippi River, with all the Doomsday prophets literally coming out the proverbial woodworks actually believing the world will end 5-21-2011. with the NLE 2011 Earthquake on the New Madrid faultline looming in the picture, the known fracking, the earthquake swarms, HAARP’s recorded activity, the presence of FEMA & DHS, an elevated terror alert, A Zombie Alert issued by the CDC -whew -I think NOW would be the appropriate time to post this very personal video to give everyone, particularly friends & subscribers, a very RARE glimpse into my personal Life. That’s quite a lot for any person to have on one’s mind but as strange as it may sound I am unafraid for several reasons, first of which being Faith in God!
I am a quiet, confident compassionate human being -the Patriarch of my Family. The buck stops with me. I am a Native Son to this region and unless someone purposely causes an epic catastrophe I should be in no danger here and am going NOWHERE! I will protect my Mother and my Home using Good, sound judgement yet to the death if necessary.
Firstly, to the soldiers: Every male in my family beginning with the very first, Francisco Segura, co-founder of New Iberia back in 1779, born Nov 30, 1759, a Patriot of The American Revolutionary War, has voluntarily fought for this Republic called America. Generation after generation this continued through every War and even included my 2nd cousing Brigadier General Wiltz P. Segura (USAF) during WWII. I REFUSE to even entertain the thought that the very Nation we all fought to establish & protect would turn on us! Such would be an act of Treason & Betrayal. Instead, I am counting on the Officers to uphold their Oaths and the soldiers to KNOW you have the right, the Duty to disobey wrongful Orders. I trust I need not expound here.
We are Americans! We do not run away. As true soldiers we run TOWARD the enemy to die as men. I know I speak for many when I say we in La have endured MORE THAN ENOUGH YET WE ARE STILL STANDING! The eyes of many are upon us. We are human beings. We are American. Remember that.
I am not accusing anyone of anything. I am saying what I feel due to the things I’ve witnessed and endured. Let the video speak for itself as it comes straight from the heart on behalf of all Americans.

What lies beneath the surface of the mighty Mississippi? Last summer Dr. Brian Waldron and Dr. Beatrice Magnani led a team of investigators searching for answers to the mystery of what lies beneath the surface of the Mississippi River. Does the river’s muddy water conceal hidden, as yet undiscovered faults? How does our aquifer, the source of our drinking water, interact with the Mississippi River?
