I'm not familiar - what kind of meter would that be?mharratsc wrote:I concur. I think they are creating a pathway for subterranean-to-atmospheric electrical equalization, and that the rumble and 'thunder' is the sound of the charge exceeding the threshhold and the double-layer breaking down.
Easy way to check- someone needs to set up a meter to monitor the fair weather field at the site, and compare the value to a control site a hundred miles away, and remove any transient atmospheric readings (thunderstorms and whatnot) and see if we don't have a high-power situation going on there. :\
I know people who live near the EQs...and people who don't. This sounds like an interesting project.
