@Coyote, how strange—thank you for sharing about this. I'm curious to investigate this line of inquiry myself now.
And I'm very glad you're still with us. Have you ever shared your NDE on this site? If you have (or would be open to it), I'd very much love to hear about your experience.
I've mentioned the fact that I've had an NDE, but I've never shared the details. I would if/when an appropriate opportunity comes up.
Regarding the visions of a rift forming along the Mississippi, here's an example I've been able to dredge up:
The last thing they showed me was a silver ribbon splitting the United States apart. I was given knowledge that this ribbon was a river, I am assuming it was the Mississippi River, but they gave me no explanation as to the meaning of this ribbon other than the ribbon gets larger.
I came across 4 or 5 other accounts like this, but I can't track them down now. Plugging in a few search terms into Google might work. BTW, the account I referenced above is worth reading in full for its spiritual content.
Thank you for linking this one. I was actually able to find several other similar NDE references last night, indexed through a single website (near-death.com). One of the experiencers listed described being told that an 8.5 magnitude earthquake would hit a place called Eureka. The site author made a parenthetical reference beside this, asking if it might refer to a quake in Eureka, California. But the very instant I read it, I mentally heard "Eureka, Kansas."
Now, I'd never heard of a Eureka, Kansas—at least not in conscious memory—but sure enough, I Googled and the town (of only about 2,400 people) exists. In fact, it lies directly northeast of the "Oklahoma earthquake swarm" that's been occurring for the last ten years as a result of hydraulic fracking.

I figured that hydro fracking would play a role in any major seismic event in the Midwest. I just read an informative essay in the Atlantic about the earthquake threat in the Midwest and the New Madrid zone, and the bottom line is that no one quite knows the full workings of intra-continental earthquakes. Considering that the 2010 Haiti earthquake was triggered in part by mudslides caused by unusually heavy rains, the trauma of hydraulic fracturing could be one more variable that nudges the region towards a devastating event.
This is a great article—thank you for posting it. Near the top, the author writes that in the 1811/12 upheaval, "boatmen caught in the maelstrom said the Mississippi appeared to run backwards." Reading this triggered long-forgotten memories related to biblical prophecies. Somewhere in the Book of Revelation there's a passage about rivers running backwards, I believe.
I'm from Mississippi and have driven to or through Memphis dozens of times, but I wasn't aware they'd erected a giant glass pyramid on the Mississippi River there (in honor of the city's ancient Egyptian namesake). It's bizarre that they're using it to house a Bass Pro Shop. I mean, the Louvre is a center for art. So, it's almost too uncanny valley, too on-the-nose "picture of American excess" that our take on a great pyramid is used as an altar to capitalism—and of the most weirdly patriarchal variety (you can buy guns, guns, and more guns there for crying out loud).
I can almost imagine the Dan Brown novel version of this story of upheaval, and it truly breaks my heart.
Your description of the recluse wound really stuck out to me. I have been getting these images of that very thing only it is related to a volcano eruption in Northwest.
I don't know if I am bias because of my location in Idaho but ever since the salt lake city earthquake I have been overwhelmed with these thoughts and dreams of Idaho. I was just sure we were going to get an earthquake. I even had my kids do multiple drills leading up to the event. When the Idaho one hit here it was like being in a dream. I had a full panic attack afterwards because it scared me that it actually happened.
I now feel a strong sensation that there is lava activity waking up underneath us. Or rather, it's always been there it's just making some strong moves right now. Everyone expects Yellowstone but I feel it will be more focused in Idaho. I also keep thinking of the oozing sensation. No big blast. We could see points open up as far down to California. It's no news to science that Craters of the Moon is a potential. Maybe this will be the year?
I also like to add I don't feel fear when I think of it. It may be shocking that it is active again but in the long run it will be a positive, acting as a pressure release in a sense?
Its just been on my mind lately and I wanted to share...
