Hi All,

Several times today I got the left ear ringing that if I recall correctly is for the MJT area. Seems several quakes should be arriving between now and the next ten days. More likely sooner. The mags are little difficult to peg, but I'm thinking 4.0 maybe 4.5 and lower.

I called the Fire Chief last week about a buzz in my attic. I wasn't sure if it was electrical or I had an attic full of bees. First thing he says is, "are your ears ringing?" I said "no, but my attic is buzzing." I was hopeful he would come out and go have a look. But he wouldn't come over. He said to turn off the circuit breakers in each section of the house at a time and see if I still heard it. That didn't seem like a good idea as I'd have to reset every clock in my house. So what was my problem? An unknown switch that puts on the booster fan to the bathroom fan to get the steam out of the bathroom. I'm telling you, having a buzzing attic 24 hours a day for about ten days, just over your bed is not a good thing. Sure glad it wasn't bees.

At least now I can tell when I'm in my bedroom if my ears are ringing versus buzzing. I could say more, but I'll leave a little to your imaginations.
