This is like an episode of the twilight zone .. first we have a 7.0 magnitude earthquake in Japan .. now we have reports coming in hot off the wire about hundreds (possibly thousands) of birds falling out of the sky in Beebe Arkansas AGAIN !!.
I’d like to remind everyone that last year .. the same thing happened starting on new years eve.. and was originally blamed LAST YEAR on fireworks.. until TENS OF THOUSANDS of birds were found all over the midwest — then the story switched to be … quote .. “the USDA was throwing out poison seed to kill the blackbirds” …
This year.. what is it going to be.. fireworks? USDA? or is it the more obvious earth changes we are seeing occur on an ever increasing basis?!
The location of the earthquake has been moved, as well as the magnitude elevated to a 4.3 (from a 4.0).. and the depth has been changed to be 3.1 miles deep.

McDONALD, Ohio – Authorities said that a minor earthquake hit in northeast Ohio.
The U.S. Geological Survey said that the 4.0 magnitude quake struck Saturday afternoon in McDonald, outside of Youngstown.
There were no immediate reports of damage. One witness about 20 miles from the epicenter said that she saw the ornaments shake on her Christmas tree. Others said that it was strong enough to panic pets and send relatives running for cover.
It was the latest in a series of minor quakes in the area in 2011, though residents said that Saturday’s appeared to be stronger than others.
Many have struck near an injection well used to dispose of brine water that is a byproduct of oil and gas drilling.
The injection well owner agreed this week to stop injecting brine into the earth while the quakes are investigated.
