It’s Raining Dead Blackbirds In Arkansas

Posted by on January 2nd, 2011

Thousands of dead blackbirds rained down onto Beebe, Arkansas to help ring in the new year. Welcome to 2011!

UPDATE: 100,000 dead fish have washed up on the banks of the Arkansas River as well.  Get out while you still can.

    Probably has something to do with the massive amount of earthquakes they have been having in central Arkansas. Over 500 since mid-September. Proof that the US Government has an earthquake machine.

    Well if it had rained live blackbirds we wouldn’t know it because they’d only fly off.

    Two days later and some 300 miles south in Labarre, Louisiana reports of 500 or more dead blackbirds were reported. The reports started coming in late Sunday night, early Monday morning. No one knows why.
