Driving west from Amarillo to Albuquerque today, for a couple hundred mile stretch there were dozens of emergency vehicles hauling butt eastbound on I40. LOTS of fed looking vehicles, unmarked suburbans, SWAT style vans, and I saw at least 2 trailers that looked like emergency response mobile command centers. I quit counting somewhere around 40 vehicles.
Anyone know what is going on? If they were heading to Oklahoma for the earthquake, it seems a bit overkill, heading 600 miles East to an earthquake zone with no fatalities...

Storm responders maybe...... Florida area.
You will not hear as much about it because it is not Louisiana. Anything that happens to Louisiana is always said to be the worst in known mankind.
Just like the recent rain there. LOL here in Texas we had 42" in 3 days. Was just a flood.

My guess it would be in response to the officer that was shot.

Not the shot officer, they were headed in the opposite direction.
I doubt it was for florida, nobody deploys emer responders that far (1200ish miles).
It was very strange. For about 3 hours over a couple hundred miles, every few minutes there would be these vehicles with flashing lights hauling butt, singly or in groups up to about 6. Not one big convoy, more like they either left from separate locations or simply left as soon as they were ready. That indicates that they're in a huge hurry (immediate deployment without staging to go as a group), and that it was someplace reasonably close.
I suppose they could have been state vehicles instead of feds but most of the vehicles had almost no markings at all. I did see a handful that looked like they had New Mexico state markings and one that said Sheriff on the side, the rest were mostly unmarked.
The only "emergency" I know of that was within a reasonable distance was the oklahoma quakes, and many fracking wells were ordered shut down so maybe they were heading out there in anticipation of trouble over those orders, or anticipating more quakes?
In any case, the news doesn't seem to be covering it at all, which is strange. Immediate deployment orders are unusual, secret immediate deployment orders are scary.

Maybe there was an alien uprising in area 51.......... :bolt:

I did some searching just for fun, all I could find was the mandatory shutdown of 35 oil wells in Oklahoma following the earthquake. The USGS said the earthquake was probably caused by fracking. While it mentioned NM on the date you mentioned, there was nothing about the mass deployment of first response vehicles. Whatever caused the deployment of these vehicles is being kept quiet, probably from embarrassment of squandering taxpayer money.

The earthquake was shallow 4 miles deep, in fracking range, but i still can't believe we have the power to cause such a strong EQs , subterranean nuclear test are different story. Maybe the team is specialized in inspecting infrastructure damage;back in 2011 i was stuck on the road in Virginia after the EQ, the DOT closed some bridges ,overpasses and X-rayed for structural damage. I read about strong this CO gas emission over past weeks in southern Idaho some sections of Yellowstone River closed to public and fish are dying ;
If you look at this map , only overpopulated areas east coast around New York and Beijing shows this kind of high CO concentration, but man made. I don't know how accurate is this map , but uses data from NASA GOES satellites. https://earth.nullschool.net/#current/chem/surface/level/overlay=cosc/orthographic=-108.16,37.30,3000/loc=-113.413,42.329

just south of Crater of the Moon NP, dormant volcano.

It isn't the fracking itself that the USGS is claiming that is causing the earthquakes, it is the wastewater wells. I have no idea what the mechanism of action is.

You would be surprised how often deployment of multiple state vehicles/aviation to one location can easily slide under the radar of the news. I've seen it multiple times with around 40-80 (depending on the situation) marked and unmarked go to a town and never hit the news. Hell, driving marked state agency military vehicles though towns escorted by marked and unmarked units and it never sees any news.

This doesnt show anything about it but it is interesting to look at
