I can't believe the USGS are really this idiot. I am describing a sinkhole which now has lava pouring out of it. The magma is not always visible, but a similar mineral deposit, possibly magma, is flowing into culverts by the mall... Please send me a response I can see. Dictator Petraeus is not a good excuse to allow my emails to be hidden.

USGS Response:


Hello, 
Thank you for contacting the USGS regarding Lake Superior. Lake levels at Lake Superior are monitored by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), along with asssistance from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and their Canadian federal counterparts. More information can be found at their website. You can see average monthly water levels for the lake here. Lake levels don't look unusally low based on this data, but if you have any follow-up concerns you can email NOAA's Great Lake Research Laboratory at: glerl@noaa.com
Regards, 
USGS Menlo Park, CA

Message: Dear USGS, I don't know if you are aware of the changes in the lake here in Duluth, that is Lake Superior. You probably will not be able to see any surveillance that has integrity. The ridges are showing and the water appears to be pouring into a hole. The rain filled the lake up, but only for a few hours. It appears the land is all caving down for at least 25 miles out. I have posted some items as far back as June 27th - www.helichrysumandbirch.blogspot.com
