The town of Clintonville Wisconsin has experienced some weirdness over the last week, and some people and local geologists are looking into these bangs and booms in the area.  What are the reasons for these loud unexplained noises, and what are the noises sounding like from the people in the area?

Clintonville Wisconsin is a Sleepy Town that Can’t Sleep

Weather in Clintonville has been very mild for this winter season.  The people of Clintonville Wisconsin are used to a long winter season, with lots of cold temperatures and deep and heavy snow.  They are great at snow prediction and shoveling too, but this year has been a 125 record breaking year, with less than 20 inches of snow, when the average is 60 each winter.  The temperatures as well, are breaking records, with a warmer than usual winter season.  Many people are wondering if these strange booming noises that residents are experiencing, are related to the warmer temperatures, and lack of precipitation.

The story begins on Sunday, March 18th, where people heard a noise, that was booming, and felt the ground shake.  Municipal government teams have been searching through the industry in the area, looking to see if these industry leaders were to blame for the many police reports, and 911 calls from people reporting that their house was shaking, and heard loud booming noise.  The clintonville wi teams could not come up with a reason.

Clintonville Wisconsin Calls on United States Geological Survey Group  to Save the Day!

The Clintonville City Administrator’s called on the United States Geological Survey team to come to Wisconsin, and locate if the booming and shaking could be an earthquake.  They have reported with assistance from the USGS has described the booming noise as a small earthquake that occurred in a short amount of time.  The 1.5 rated earthquake would be an unreported event, in most parts of earthquake prone areas of the country.  In California or parts of the west, this would be a common occurrence, and people would not have run out into the street, hoping that for their houses do not explode.

The other fact is that Clintonville Wisconsin has a underlying rock that is often very easily transmits noise when it is impacted.  The lack of sand or other smaller foundation material, which usually transmits a small or micro earthquake, shows that booming is more easily heard in a firmer bedrock or foundation rock area.  The ability to hear this loud noise is quite unexpected to many in Clintonville Wisconsin, and many people, including clintonville wisconsin truckers, were quite shocked at the intensity and repeated booming.

Is Clintonville Wisconsin Going To Experience More Earthquakes?

The ability for USGS to predict out into the future for earthquakes is not possible, but they can monitor the situation, and offer the government municipal leaders some explanations on what may occur and what to expect.  The people of Clintonville Wisconsin, and other midwest towns, should be knowledgeable now that earthquakes are possible, and that the booming can be a reality linked to these micro-earthquakes.

Clintonville Wisconsin, like the rest of the world, will have to evolve into a new mindset that yes, it could be an earthquake, and as long as your residence or business appears safe, you can go about your day or night with reassurance that life is indeed unpredictable as the weather.
