Interesting weather blog and the explanation makes sense. I kinda liked the unsubstantiated theory that the blob was linked to the fault lock. Now I read the whole thing is just a weather event. The cause and effect aspect of the article is very interesting, with the blob being a result of the weather pattern rather than the cause.

Another theory I've heard is that it is caused by HAARP and is intended to cause water utility companies to sell out so that ... never mind. I've never bought into HAARP being the cause of all things unexplained. I'm not sure HAARP is responsible for anything.
