Well, well, I blew this one almost. Though anyone would agree that this event(s) was much smaller than I anticipated being beneath my magnitude threshold and darn, outside of the window too, the quake I expected did arrive.

As the majority on this board, don't believe in ear tones, just for the record I thought I exercise this last one and then bag it up and take it down road.

It is a Not a hit by the normal sense, but I'd like anyone to find one other person on this planet that could have missed this event by 23 miles. Bet you can't find one, let alone anyone who said they heard it in advance.

I won't try to convince anyone that this is real, it happens not only to me but the threesome I work with, but hey stranger things have been known to occur. Some day, way in the distant future someone will say they discovered that something that has been here since the beginning of mankind. I already know it, but one day I believe someone who says he's a scientist will lay claim to understanding this perfectly natural event.

Now go back to work doing what you love to do. Think of me on the shores of southern places because soon I'll be beach combing on Catalina Island, Mission Bay in San Diego and Ensenada, Mexico. WaHoo! After that, there's other research to do, time to kick up my heels, head for the faultline and start living.

Distance Calculation Results
Distance between 23.5n 109.0w and 23.83n 108.94w is
23.1402 statute miles

Distance Calculation Results
Distance between 38.44n 122.50w and 23.83n 108.94w is
1287.4818 statute miles

1287 divided by 37.5 = 34 seconds (I counted 35 seconds)
