What part of The Good Book has that bit about all the fish washing ashore as a sign of the coming End Times? Or are we thinking of that Schwarzengger movie where he goes rounds with Satan? All that Sunday Schooling and those 90s action movies are starting to bleed together as we get older . . .
Anyway, people who read a lot of symbolism into these events have a new one to pour over: Recently, thousands of dead fish washed ashore across the lake in Canada. The exact number of casualties hasn’t been reported, but the body count is pretty much contained along a 25-mile strip of coast. The Canadian government agencies responsible for watchdogging mother nature are collectively scratching their heads for a concrete reason why, although there is plenty of speculation.
According to Newsnet5, one idea floating around is that “lake inversion” is responsible.
When an inversion happens, cold water is brought to the lake’s surface. Cold water has less oxygen in it, causing fish to suffocate.
A storm, strong winds or a steep drop in temperature at night can cause an inversion. It is a phenomenon that has happened in Lake Erie in the past.

Glad we know how to take care of such a precious resource…
Lets dump it in the lake!!! No-one will notice!!!!
What is the name of the “lad” doing the testing? Perhaps he works in the “lab”?
Radiation Spike Follows Nuclear Reactor Leak

According to Reuters, a nuclear reactor in Michigan was shut down on Tuesday due to a leakage from a refueling water tank, according to a report from the U.S.
This contact with the reactor makes the water highly radioactive.
