Great Video Alert: A Geyser Erupts in Downtown Los Angeles

Los Angeles and its surrounding communities are having a problem with water main breaks.  Water is shooting out of the ground causing problems and a bit of a mystery.  This video is from Van Nuys where thousands of gallons was shot into the air.  There has been a slew of breaks this fall and no one knows why it’s happening?  Is it newish limitations on which days people can water their lawns?  Is that someone how overloading the system?  They’re unsure.  But NASA’s jet Propulsion Laboratory has been called in to help figure it out. Not kidding.

What happened in Los Angeles seems unique, but it is a calamity that will occur for many other calamities to come. Everyone thinks 2012 will be our end,but I think it will happen much sooner than that. Hurricanes and tornadoes will be bigger with trillions in damage and thousands lost or died. Mankind will survive.

Lack of quality, cheap price, slaved labor=
