Subject: Two French rivers disappear underground in large cracks and sinkholes
|
No date on this link. "The Doubs river flows normally in Franche-Comté, France. But since about a week or so, the river has totally dried up over a length of more than 1 km, between Pontarlier and Morteau, although precipitation has been abundant this winter and spring. The river has disappeared, and with it, the fauna and flora. Everything is dead. Two weeks ago, 13km of the Risle River in Normandy also disappeared underground in a large crater. According to geologists, this unprecedented event is due to large cracks and craters in the riverbed...." More at link with pictures. |

Found this article in French. Site translator works well enough to get the gist, but I have no idea if this is a legit news source or if France has the same issue with conspiracy theory sites that we do. I'm assuming though that any conspiracies about dried up rivers in France itself would be swiftly called out by the French people, if published in a French news source. (*Awen, formerly " _ ", formerly Nen. Just putting this at the end of all current posts for the near future to reduce confusion). |

Hi snodrop, the article cited by Shirley in turn references an article in strangesounds dated August 16, 2018 http://strangesounds.org/2018/08/french-rivers-disappear- underground-doubs-river-has-disappeared-between-pontarlier-and- morteau-1km-swallowed-up-by-large-cracks-in-the-riverbed.html The description of the second image also references August 2018. And this excerpt, too: "The cave of Remonot is located near the village of Morteau along the Doubs. Dedicated to the Virgin Mary, this Chapel-Cave contains miraculous water and is visited each year on August 15, 2018, day of the Assumption. But during this year’s annual pilgrimage, the cave was dry! The first time ever!" Unless there was a similar event in 2012 I would assume that what Shirley posted about happened in August of 2018, and not in 2012. sequoia |

Look up a French movie Manon des Sources (sequel to Jean de Florette) which features a water source apparently 'drying up' in the story, with superstitious locals blaming divine intervention... in case you missed it Europe was effected by a 50 day Summer heatwave and drought.

Fantastic post. Although I've followed the unbelievable catastrophe in Europe, your links and the charts are very revealing. From what I've been reading this is all the new normal and linked to the movement of the Jet Stream. That is being altered by the melting Artic and release of methane. My French is très limité still I recognized Yves Montand almost immediately! |

Hence why cavemen wisely wiped out the Megafauna but while getting a taste for steak & milk unfortunately let the moo cows run rampant giving them free reign assuring our doom... The government in southern Sweden have granted permission for cows to visit nudist beaches during the prolonged summer heatwave, despite complaints from locals, it's reported. According to The Local news website, nudists have been complaining to officials in provincial Smaland about livestock visiting their beaches, saying that their presence is "unhygienic and could pose a health risk". It says the roasting summer heat affecting much of continental Europe has led to drought throughout the country, and has meant that farmers have been struggling to feed their animals. This has meant that some farmers have decided to slaughter their cattle earlier than usual; but others have instead decided to bring their livestock to nearby nudist beaches, in order to cool them down, public broadcaster SVT reports. "When it's this dry, you don't want cows to be brought to slaughter out of necessity. They need to be able to bathe, eat and drink," municipal official Peter Bengtsson says. Complaints from bathers have led to municipal Vaxjo's Culture and Leisure Department taking a vote on whether the cattle were ok to visit, and have ruled they "have just as much right to be there as the human visitors". Mr Bengtsson says that bathers should not be at risk of contracting infections such as E.Coli, but that farmers should refrain from taking cows in the water if there are people around who want to swim. He noted that birds also frequent Smaland's nudist beaches, but said that if bathers express concerns about allergies or safety as a result of ground damage, officials may talk to the animals' owners. |

So sorry sequoia...been busy and didn't come back to this board until now, so didn't see your response...I found the original from the Normandy one (linked) as per article: "Two weeks ago, 13km of the Risle River also disappeared suddenly in Normandy, after a big sinkhole opened up in the riverbed" As per article the Normandy one happened (exact video that was also played in article) and was published August 9, 2012. Still interesting however...just not current. |

I try to be current on my links, that's why I post the dates. When I posted it I assumed Mary Greeley would be posting a current link, I just couldn't see the date on her link. My goggle search for "two rivers disappear in france"" comes up with several links just two days ago. I've posted one link here. Thanks for the comments here. |
