Being a 20yr veteran volunteer firefighter, I recall winter fires outside
philly, where our gear would get so frozen, helmets would explode at the
station, because just the bay room alone was enough of a rise in temp, to
cause the ice encrusted helmets to split due to rapid thawing.
This "polar vortex" how we had two major storms with extremely high temps
between over our midwest, great lakes.... with all the sisesmic activity,
this makes me wonder if the cold weather manipulation was done to cause
water and ice cracking and weakening of the mississippi river valley and
the fault lnes under?
