Yukiko son,

Thank you for you kind comments. I have been feeling very low today and so your kind words lifted my spirits.

I don't normally get headaches. Never have. Even when I was in high stress job, instead of headaches, I had trouble with my teeth because I would clinch them all night while sleeping. So, when I do get a headache, I now know it is for a large EQ near me or an explosive volcanic eruption in Mexico or further south. Today, I find:

TUNGURAHUA 99-217 ECUADOR 1.47S 78.44W

BACKGROUND: TUNGURAHUA ECUADOR (1502-08)
SUMMIT HEIGHT 16480 FT (5023 M)

SOURCES OF INFORMATION: GOES-8 MULTISPECTRAL AND INFRARED IMAGERY.
UPPER AIR DATA AND REPORTS FROM THE GEOPHYSICAL INSTITUTE. U.S.
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MODEL DATA.

ERUPTION DETAILS: CONTINUOUS EMISSION OF ASH AND STEAM.

DETAILS OF ASH: INFORMATION RECEIVED FROM THE GEOPHYSICAL INSTITUTE
INDICATES THAT AN EXPLOSION OCCURRED AT 1425 UTC. CURRENT SATELLITE
IMAGERY THROUGH 1445 UTC SHOWS NO DETECTABLE ASH PLUME. HOWEVER THE
AREA IS COVERED WITH THUNDERSTORM AND CIRRUS DEBRIS. THERE IS NO
ESTIMATE AVAILABLE FOR THE CURRENT PLUME HEIGHT.

However, this volcano has erupted before and I did not get such a headache for it before. But I have had a headache for Popocatepetl and she did wake up after my headache yesterday:

POPOCATEPETL 99-109 MEXICO 19.02N 98.62W

BACKGROUND: POPOCATEPETL MEXICO (1401-09)
SUMMIT HEIGHT 17930 FT (5465 M)

SOURCES OF INFORMATION: GOES-8 VISIBLE..INFRARED AND MULTISPECTRAL
IMAGERY. POPO CAM. 1200 UTC MEXICO CITY UPPER AIR SOUNDING.

ERUPTION DETAILS: PUFF OF ASH AND STEAM 07/1355 UTC.

DETAILS OF ASH CLOUD: SATELLITE IMAGERY THROUGH 2015 UTC CURRENTLY
SHOWS NO ASH VISIBLE. MULTISPECTRAL IMAGERY DOES INDICATE A POSSIBLE
HOT SPOT ASSOCIATED WITH THE VOLCANO. BOTH POPO CAM AND SATELLITE
IMAGERY SHOW SCATTERED CUMULUS CLOUDS SURROUNDING THE SUMMIT.

Still, I don't think either volcanoe's activity is equal to the pain of my headache or the duration of it. So, I think much more is coming.
