Just got notice from official email alert system, looking for more information. As we grow closer to the 11th of this month, things seem to be heating up. Be safe, and stay on alert, everyone. Peace.


Note: This is the first 6 I've seen on the Japan map I've been watching since the one on April 23, thus the notice. But when I researched further, there have been a handful of sixes in April (before April 23). So hopefully, this is just another "settling down" of Mother Earth. I promise, no more EQ posts from me unless the trend qets eerier...

Even though I do not have time to be here right now, I have been VERY emotional today and have an intense feeling of doom and dread. Personal or collective I am not certain but this thread comes closer to what I sense and strongly feel today.

Things feel like they are about to implode in some way or another. Today is bad.

Edit to say that the OP needs to make some edits in your op to add your thoughts and commentary before the MOds come and remind you of the ATS Terms and conditions which the Op does not reflect. Hurry now.

Sorry, I was editing my thoughts, but wanted to make the post immediate, in case the update could help, or alert anyone immediately affected.

Stay strong, my friend. I've, too, been there. I didn't mean to worry anyone, hopefully this is just another random aftershock.

Also 5.8s in Mexico & Canada as well as two 5.4s off west coast of Canada today.

Looking a little rumbly today. Hope it's more of a settle-down than build-up.

the planets are lined up

I also have a strange feeling something is going to happen today... For days I've been feeling like something is going to happen in Japan soon, and I have been having the strangest dreams that today is the day, for the actual big one. In the dream it hits central Honshu, around the Tokyo/Kanagawa area. I really hope I'm wrong.. Will be watching the news just in case.

Well I woke from a zombie nightmare, I am not into the whole zombie thing but what I saw as the reason for the zombification of people was a couple vials of some unknown substance which took off like a wildfire on a hot July afternoon.

So for me I woke disturbed which is unusual for me.

I later discovered that all the major planets are lined up today, so finally figured it was something astronomical affecting me most likely.

You know when I had to go to town I felt so uncomfortable but once I got home things seemed to mellow out for me and yet tonight seems like you said as if I am still waiting for the other shoe to drop.

Ok, having two strong earthquakes that have killed some people in Spain ON THE 11th does qualify as "eerier" so I am posting again.....
