Hi Chris,

While I don't expect you or anyone in general to accept the theory of ear tones, if they provided nothing else, they are an obvious sign of when increases or decreases in activity are on the horizon.

For example, while we know there are 100's of quakes a week in CA, my ear tone group can only hear a fraction of them. During the month of January we had 59 reported tones and 53 matched tones.

In Feb two of our people were gone and yet what I picked up wasn't anything that significant in numbers of quakes heard.

March so far is a little bit more active in reporting and this is due to more activity in Northern, CA. But overall, much lower than January.

In trends April and October are supposed to be big earthquake months in California, however, those are just trends. However, universally March is the month that is most commonly known for war.
