An Experiment in Alternative Methods of Earthquake Prediction

Feels like the calm before the storm.

Pressure building.

Anger rising.

Fear growing.

Peace

Hey.. Been trying not to post, but here I am. I've had horrible symptoms the last few days, but I'm putting it down to driving to London and back inside 3 days, and then signing up for our new house when we got home, and then my car taking a poop.....all kinda stressful, but maybe it's not that. Very strange sore arms, neck and ribs today, and yesterday the pain was driving me mad, moving somewhere else every few minutes.

My biggest issue tonight, something that I havent had for a while is that I feel frightened...very fearful. Scared of losing something or someone precious to me, scared of things I know will almost certainly never happen, and very thankful that our new house is well off the beaten track, and very self sufficient in terms of resources. I can't wait to get there. It was also the fastest house deal ever, just 5 hours from viewing it to finding out it was ours, even before my other half had seen it...he trusts me! So maybe it's just all that I'm feeling...I dunno. I'm just very glad the last round of symptoms I had meant nothing seismic at all.

Stay safe all.

I'm feeling pressure building stronger and harder than anything I have ever felt. Don't think it is going to crest yet, but it feels terrible.

Feeling something in the Astral about quakes so I went looking to see where it might have been broadcast from.
Could be the recent symposium held in Taiwan concerning Quake detection.

www.ss.ncu.edu.tw...

Earthquake prediction is likely to be more difficult than Hurricane prediction since hurricanes develop and follow thermodynamic rules in a more fluid water vapor environment.

Every plate intersection and earthquake fault is different, and the pressure necessary to trigger a quake can not be calculated with precision ahead of time. Good example of that is the San Andreas fault in California. \"Experts\" have been predicting a disaster quake in southern Cali for over 30 years now.

What would happen if one of the detection systems like the old DEMETER satellite triggered an alarm for the San Andreas fault? Would the media keep a lid on it to prevent mass hysteria? If the detection system was only correct one out of three times it sounded the alarm would that justify an evacuation?

Congratulations on the new house! I'm looking off the beaten path for our home buy too (when we can afford) Nothing beats having some space to yourselves! At our place now you can hear the neighbours washing their dishes in the evenings :/ no space at all!

I've been the same laser, the last few days i've been ok, but when I get angry, I get angry and I dont like it! Could be any number of things, but this weekend I have noticed it's more than usual.

Aw thank you...I'm so excited about the new place and just want to be there, so I'm trying not to think too much about all the sorting, moving and painting I have to do in the next 3 weeks.

Just to follow up on the other day, my anxiety is off the chart tonight. It kind of erupted about 2 hours ago, and I'm starting to feel like I want to hide. I'm going to have a very early night in warm jammies and lots of sleep to see if that helps. I also have strong ringing in my ears which is very unusual for me, and at 9.45 this morning, I had one very long clear tone in my left ear that took several minutes to subside.

I hope everyone is ok. Will check back tomorrow.

Ok....seems everyone is ok...I really hope so. I'm not any better. Been trying to keep busy and have so much to do, but I've been on the point of tipping into a panic attack all day. No more ear rings, but very anxious, with weird pains popping up in random places, like my ankles, or the back of my hip.

Just popping in to say that old cat has been under the desk,
for over an hour. He hasn't done that for awhile.

They both were really sleepy today which was unusual too.
Never saw them both sleep so much during the day.

Old cat was chasing the young one last night & early this afternoon too.
Don't know...it has been awfully quiet though! Too quiet!

Was just outside playing soccer with the kids, when all hearing stopped in my left ear, followed by very loud ear ringing. Almost came in just to post, but told myself to forget about.

Just now, 30 minutes later, it happened again. Loudest ear ringing ever, preceded by a total lack of hearing.

Peace

..just wanted to note that both times it lasted about 30 seconds, also got a direction for the first time as both times I was standing in the same spot tending goal...west by sw a bit. I'm in MI, so Southern west coast maybe

God almighty. I had one of those about an hour ago, and I never get them...now two in less than a week. Left ear, and they are both still ringing. Something is definitely up. And....the pains in my arms are horrible. Both of them, from the elbows to the wrists, and very tender to touch. (no...I don't have heart problems by the way.)

That's my muted hearing, Laser. Disconcerting, isn't it? Also disconcerting is that I also experienced muted hearing about 20 minutes ago (around 4:50 PM eastern) My hearing cut out for roughly 1 minute, with a high-pitched tone, and slowly came back over the course of another minute or so.

I'm going to start up GEE and watch the seismos. 3 of us with the same symptoms doesn't sit right.

reply to post by caitlinfae


That's crazy!! And I don't have heart issues either.

Well muted hearing sucks and is kinda spooky. And yeah, three of us now...hmmm.

Just felt a slight vibration here in the basement, not plane or truck...only lasted about five seconds.

Cat just went and hid.

Thanks

Peace

I can confirm the direction.. I was on a ladder painting both times, and had to come down due to a little "seasickness" with both episodes.

We also had a power outage for about 30 minutes.... oddly, Entergy left a message that the power was restored but the cause was "unknown". I`ve never heard that from them before.

Strange day!

Another muted hearing episode at the moment. Same as the last, it went out for about a minute, and is slowly returning. I have the same high-pitched tone occurring. I neglected to mention in my previous post that the pitch is much higher than usual. Usually it sounds like the off-air tone stations used to use back in the day when channels were off the air overnight. This one sounds like a mosquito on helium o.O For what it's worth, I'm facing south, as I was over an hour ago, and both episodes are in my right ear, which is facing essentially due west.

My ears are ringing too, but I get it a lot.
Hubby & I have an appointment on Mon with a specialist.
If he doesn't find anything, then maybe it is all quake related!

It's been too quiet lately, something has to happen pretty soon.
And just when USGS changed & I can't get into the new format!!!
It figures!

Wow, just had a quick look at Facebook.
Never saw so many lost dogs at one time in my life!
It's kind of creeping me out!!!

Didn't count, but there must have been 6-8 of them!
We're a small place. Usually there is only one now & then.
Granted it was Mother's Day & some of them could have gotten out
with all the extra people coming & going.

But some of them are from Friday & Saturday too.
Just documenting in case it turns out to be something!
We don't have quakes here! North central PA.
I wonder how big or close it would have to be to scare dogs away!
I'm not going to sleep very well tonight I bet!

You just described exactly how I have been feeling today.

I know it's going to be big.

Feeling lots of little symptoms, but nothing standing out except this migraine that's rocking me, and I did notice a lot of angry...well to be honest.... stupid angry people doing stupid things.

Kinda feels like I'm playing connect the dots sometimes.

Pressure definitely building.

Peace

Well I'm putting my symptoms down to house moving stress, and days of painting, painting, painting.... but yes to migraine, which I've had for two days, and vague panicky feelings, and immensely sore ribs and neck. I'm so impatient to be in the new house ...a beautiful big farmhouse well off the road...I still can't believe it. It's like I want to hide, and feel like as soon as we're in, I'm gonna blow up the bridge so no-one can get to us...

And yes...people making no sense what so ever....like my current landlords saying I own them money...LIES!... and them not being able to explain why, as if suddenly they can't add up. It's like I'm in an alternate universe, or some weird parallel timeline where things make sense here, but everyone else is behaving like a freak. I almost got completely lamped in my car yesterday as well by someone who literally drove AT me.

I was also looking at leylines again a few days ago, as I have a feeling that where I live just now isn't such a good place. The house itself is fine, but the location is very dodgy in some respects, and there is a history of some not very nice stuff around it...sudden deaths, suicides etc. I'm going to sound like a total fruitcake here, but this is ATS, so perhaps it's the right place for that. If you can imagine the leys being the wiring on the planet, and somehow the power has been turned up....everything seems more of what it was before...more noise, more anxiety, more stress, more tension and arguments, more junk being fired at us on every level to the point where the modern world is very painful to be around if you're sensitised a little differently to most. Most of all, my urge to run and hide is what's bothering me the most, and I know that's not just about the house move.

Stay safe everyone...will check back later.
