Hi Canie,

That's pretty darn interesting. I had a right ear tone at just after 9AM yesterday morning and it sounded like granite, but was not very loud and of short duration and then today the quake arrives. The Sierra's are throwing me for a loop in a sense, as I know the granite sound comes from there, but the where is starting to wear on me. I can tell Markleville in a heartbeat, but the rest is live and learn. But at least I know granite when I hear it, no matter where it is. LOL

Thanks for sharing your unusual experience.

By the way our mutual friend Watson did a nice write up on his site about this quake, so I'm attaching the link so you can read it as well as the others.
