Hi everyone,

Well, it took all day, but I finally got there. All EQs matched and the missing PR found, but I don't think you are going to like it. It dates back to when all PRs hit the same spot on my forehead and I had no way of predicting when or where the quake would occur.

240MM 10/2/93 2209-4days S+ 8/19/96 7.0 10/16/99 JOSHUA TREE 1156-3 days

Using today's date, I went back in time and not only found this PR, but another longer and stronger. I recall the THREE S+ 8/19/96 spikes because of how much they hurt for their two seconds duration. So, given there are still two left and another PR in critical waiting, think what some are still reporting may be warning of a larger and bit closer (to me) quake.

I have been finding scout ants all over my house today. The cats slept most of the day, but now Nadia is back sitting on the table and looking at me. The back of the head pressure turned into general head pressure and then settled on a spot on the top of my head. I let it go for awhile, but then took the old hot shower to see what would happen. I had been at the computer all day. Well, it got washed away. So we either have another quake or a volcano coming.

I hope everyone resupplied themselves today. Cats will eat even if I don't.

I had lots of trouble with my server today as well. I could check the lists if I didn't go for mail. Then I couldn't send mail out or post to here. There's still one message which won't go out, but the rest has cleared up. I can even get USGS. Guess, I wasn't the only one having trouble with them.

Anyhow, here's how RB spikes now stand. Before:
SPs EQs Rem Sps % Last SP
RB+2.7 1414 924 490 65.3% 10/2/93 9/29/99

Now:

RB+2.7 1421 1006 415 70.8% 10/2/93 10/14/99

Nice jump in completed quakes, but we have lots more coming; 415.

Stay safe and alert now. Should there be another desert quake, I will worry about C and the 120MM now in critical.
