BIRCH CREEK, Mich. - A Michigan family's property has a sudden unexplained divide.
A large unexplained crack now runs 200 yards through the Salewsky family's property, eight miles north of Menominee in Birch Creek.
The family thinks it happened yesterday around 9:00 in the morning. The ground raised five feet up, taking trees along for the ride.
Some cracks were up two feet wide and five feet deep.
"The house shook, the chairs shook," Doug Salewsky said

The UP moving away from the part of Michigan that includes Detroit.
Who could blame it?

the description of the uplift sounds like something moving under the ground. Tremors anyone? LOL.
Seriously though, that is messed up. I’d really like to see what they find out... if they ever do.

Going to have a nice stream on the property during snow melt. Hope the downstream end of the crack is not pointed straight at the house!

Global Warming caused natural gas in an underground chamber to expand, bulging the earth around it. They better start drilling quick to rlieve the rpessure! ;-)

Either that or maybe heavy recent rains? We recieved 10 inches in 2 days and some banks with heavy vegetation slumped because of it-something I’ve never seen before in 35 years of living here.

Are you referring to the Indian burial mounds? We have quite a few here. I was surprised to learn a few years ago that my favourite toboganning hill from my childhood was actually a burial mound.

Probably the best explanation- I vaguely remember hearing that this region is actually rising an inch or so every decade because of that.

Isn’t it obvious? Global warming, the singular cause of all evil in the world................ This is what I'm thinking, but not the stupid "it all man's fault" kind of GW.
18,000 years ago, that spot was under a 10,000 foot deep glacier and since the glaciers receded 12,000 years ago, the land around the great lakes has continued to rise.
It's called Post Glacial Rebound.
Is someone going to break it to Al Gore that We aren't responsible for 99.99% of glacial melting?
