Alternatively, the birds could be fleeing the massive winter storm headed their way.

The links for the videos worked but you didn't post a source to read the rest of the article. Could you do that please?

Ants?!!! The ants are leaving?
NOOOO Wayy
Isnt it kinda cold in Arkansas?,.
maybe it was the weather.

Not trying to be harsh, but this isn't news...Now if they start dropping dead suddenly then it's news.

I live here, and Im seeing birds everyday, and I killed a ant yesterday in my apt...sorry I didn't video the incident.

Here are the articile quotes:

*According to the U.S. Geological Survey, more than 500 measurable earthquakes have been recorded in central Arkansas just since September.

What in the world is happening in the middle of the United States right now? Thousands of birds are falling dead from the skies, tens of thousands of fish are washing up on shore dead, earthquakes are popping up in weird and unexpected places and people are starting to get really freaked out about all of this. Well, one theory is that the New Madrid fault zone is coming to life. The New Madrid fault zone is six times bigger than the San Andreas fault zone in California and it covers portions of Illinois, Indiana, Missouri, Arkansas, Kentucky, Tennessee and Mississippi. The biggest earthquakes in the history of the United States were caused by the New Madrid fault. Now there are fears that the New Madrid fault zone could be coming to life again, and if a "killer earthquake" does strike it could change all of our lives forever.

Arkansas actually does not get really cold during the winter months. Not like it does elsewhere. It is more like cold spells, or reasonable days and cold nights. Currently it is around 55 F and will get as low as 28 F this week as the storm system moves through. After this system moves on through, they will go back to the low to mid 50's during the day and mid 40's at night. Far from "cold" and yes, the ants will still be out.

No need to be alarmed, Its just Alfred Hitchcock [snip]...

Dont ants live underground, where we can't see them anyway? This is still strange though.

They better watch where they're going. They may all fly into power lines!!!

I saw a post yesterday that was just an out rate lie, and it make top member choice, but then it was a man that posted it. Fine, I will ask mod to take it down and just never post anything again.

Well, I certainly hope not. But I'll a comfortable 2 to 3 feet of snow to cushion my fall

The rainbow is a dead giveaway. If this really happened I would get the heck out of there ASAP.

They are going North .... why ?

Don't be so sensitive. No matter what you post about, there will always be some people who disagree and make jokes. Do not take it personally. Also the way you posted this thread in breaking news when it does not actual qualify for breaking news, kind of set you up to take a little bit of extra poking.

Some really crazy videos of all the birds, I do not think I have ever seen anything quite like it. Is there any video of the rainbow that I keep seeing mentioned?
