Hi Lowell,

This is a very interesting week. Now here's a place that has both tornados and earthquakes. Two times as likely to get shaken or stirred.

My mother lived through a tornado in Loot, Kansas as a young girl. It made a close hit near their house. Inside they had a piano and the boards from the piano split and posted my uncle to the clothes line all twisted and turned. Not severly injured, but surely a moment to remember. They moved to Alamosa, CO after that. Of course Alamosa is often cited as having the coldest recorded temperatures in the morning for the whole US. I'd prefer Colorado Springs if I had a choice to live there. I love tunderstorms and they have them in abundance.

Thanks for all the history Lowell. That's what makes memory take a sideline to true facts.

Of the two earthquake dreams I've had over the years that actually produced an EQ in 3 days, both of them happened in the month of September, but in different years. 1985 and 1994. I didn't know that until about two years ago. Now I have a September each year to look forward to and see if anything of note occurs.

I've had lots of little right ear tones today and one big one that lasted awhile. Activity in the Bay Area will be increased and either Markleville or environs will once again place a spot on the map. I had three tones on Sunday night. Two small and one a little bigger. I got a match with the one near Willows and the others with one on the Hayward Fault and the other on the San Andreas near the Golden Gate Bridge. I have an uncanny condition where when I make predictions, they are often missing the window or some other darn thing, but if I just give the data, no problem. Perhaps, firm ear tone predictions have not come of age yet. Or perhaps I should drink more wine and then I will have tasted an aged thing and that might help. Nah. That's silly.
