Chris,

The 4.1 quake is the quake which I had predicted for San Pedro Channel, but it went a little to far to the west, but the distance fits perfectly for 9.5 seconds. It was 356 miles from Petaluma which affords 9.49 seconds of ear tone heard. As to the timing, that's an interesting one. For me and the group since Sumatra we have a definite delay problem. I don't know why. And it was greater than a 3.5. I can't call it a hit, but I know it is a match for the tone heard. During the wee hours of the morning today I was keeping a good watch on it because the UCSD site was showing an alternate location which was Catalina Island. Gosh I was disappointed this morning when I got up and they hadn't moved it.

Woohoo...this ear tone was a fun one. I got a nanosecond right ear block and on came the tone lasting a good 9.5 to 10 seconds. I love those kinds of tones. So this one is dedicated to Chris...I hope it knocks your socks off...LOL

So Mexico is my last on my prediction list and the last prediction for this web group for the forseeable future. I'm doing some very serious work with the tone group and if the opportunity opens to present it to Jordan's program then it will be ready. If it doesn't get accepted then there is an alternative which I already made a decision to use, even if I did participate in Jordan's group.

Two parts of the data repository have been completed and the next step is going to take a little of my time learning to do some programming, but that's ok. Building the web site is easy compared to turning the presses to get the word out to people to report. There are many avenues to collect data and it will take a good long while until it is a known item to the public.

Lastly for today I would like to say again The Coastal Shove is on. Anyone who can't see that must be blind as a bat. And I do think it interesting that no one else was watching Baja. The pieces of California's future are already in evidence. What you are seeing now is just the beginning and I hope people will sit up and take notice. I don't intend for that to be a scary thing, but a wake-up call that the long quiescence is over.

I do firmly believe that nothing in the universe is random and that includes earthquakes and their behavior. Because some can't see it, feel it or know it, doesn't mean things are random. It means those people don't understand it. One only has to look at the nature of the universe itself to see there is a perfect order to everything. A good read of the Crack in the Cosmic Egg is a nice place to start for those who may be interested.
