Mystery hotspot in California

[mwr1026]

this news story from fox noise describes a mysterious anomaly in southern california, where there is a hot spot in the ground that has reached temperatures as high as 812f. they don't know what is causing it. it was hot enough to start a grass fire earlier this year.

any thoughts on what this might be? it sounds extremely weird. might be underground oil fires as they are speculating, but that in itself would be pretty strange. i immediately thought of 2012 and the solar system wide changes that are presently occurring...worth watching at any rate.
