No, not me I am afraid. I could sleep through the end of the world.

Please DO post back here the next time you get the ringing. I think some people are possibly sensitive to this, so it would be interesting to see.

If you post here before the event obviously credibility is enhanced greatly.

I did post elsewhere, not sure why because people think i'm crazy. Not sure why i didn't make a thread here about it, probably because i didn't feel like bickering about it.

My ears NEVER ring. Before Haiti/Chile/Baja/China it had been about a year since the last time. I think i posted back then about it. From my perspective it seems like it has to be 5.0 or greater near me (in the US) to make them ring and at least 6.0 the further away it gets. I've been trying to write down a description of the tones and compare to the location of the quakes. So far it seems like the ones close to me have all started low, raised in pitch and then went low again. Like a bell curve. The Chile one was low the whole time.

I'm used to people thinking i'm nuts but i'll make a thread the next time i hear one.

Here is another interesting plot

I just posted this on another thread. You might find it useful.

This page is ALL the icelandic webicorders

The main ones of interest for Eyjafjollajokull are GOD, ESK, HVO and MID

HAU is the nearest one to Hekla that I can see.

SNB relates to Katla as well, but actually GOD is the one to watch as that is the route from Eyja to Katla.

This page is also great for links to the recorders, and in particular this one relates to what is going on now.

I guess bickering is what you will get on a thread out there in the wild. I like to think that here on QW we would be more interested in the results, and if indeed you can tell if a quake is coming. If you can do this consistently this would be good, but I also realise that you cannot tell where.

If you do decide to post a thread on it, please also post a link here in case it gets buried. They do!

You can add static images of any sort to the 'webcam' snagger in Quake Data.

If you want the earthquake maps for Eyja on a regular basis download this registry file and install it. You need to change the output folder which is just pointing at C:\

The setting is for 10 minute downloads, but the page refreshes every 5 minutes. You can change any of these and just re-save it in QuakeData.

Download it here

I should post screen shots of the other forum where i made a thread. People made fun of me after the first one and then after 2 more the thread got no other posts. They haven't rung since last friday though. I'll def post in here the next time it happens though. Could be tomorrow or could be a year from now

This is exactly why I said to post here. The regulars here will not laugh at you.

Yes, as I said threads get buried. Post here as soon as you get an earthquake 'ringing'

G'day all... eyes hurt from watching volcano cams!

Has anyone said "boy, it's quiet" yet - it doesn't appear so as there have been virtually no quakes since I went to bed 10 hours ago!!

A small one - unfelt - 3.9 - in NZ yesterday, nothing to write home about.

Now, you should know better - so enjoy the pretty yellow boxes while we can - all is good in quake world (drats, I didn't type that did I).

Yes, definitely post your observations - no-one here will scoff at them (and if they do we'll set Puterman on them for ya )

Aha - there's always one to greet me

I know that, just thought I would see if you had one

*waits for a quake to report*

Thought I'd drop in this report from Australia on the recent 5.0 in Western Oz:-

Buildings in Kalgoorlie-Boulder have been damaged and Australia's largest open-cut mine, the Super Pit, has been evacuated after an earthquake measuring 5.0 on the Richter scale hit this morning. Geoscience Australia spokesman Chris Thompson said the quake hit at 8.17am, about two kilometres south-west of Kalgoorlie, in the Boulder area. Mr Thompson said the 5.0 quake was the largest ever recorded in the Goldfields region.
