Sunday morning and it's bright, clear, cool hereand windy. I still feel like a beat puppy with this head cold. Not a nice way to bring in the new century believe me. But hey, what the heck. I made it to 2000 and it almost feels like a brand new start. Like the first day of school. Now, if I can just pass the tests...

Last night, as I laid back with the kleenex box close at hand, I was hit be a strong spike like feeling on the outside of my left foot under the ankle. It lingered for awhile and I was glad it had not hit while walking. I believe my left foot to be for local quakes. The front of the foot appears to be for Calif. So, I'm thinking the back of the foot may be for the East Coast area and, with the 4.3 in Ontario, Canada yesterday and the increased ocean heating off N. New England and Canada, I'm thinking people there should be preparing for a large EQ. Please see RB below.

>LS-NORTH SAN FRANCISICO TO TIP OF ALEUTIANS/+4.8 at S.F./50%
>PR PR DATE CRT.DATE MAG POSSIBLE LOCATION
5MM+ 6/15/96 12/29-1/6 +5.0 if Punta Gorda
15MM 6/15/96 12/29-1/6 +6.0 if Vancouver

There was a 3.6 Kodiak Island Region and 5.6 Andreanof Island, Aleutian Is. Comes close to what N.I.C.E. predicted:

Kuril Islands likely for a poss 6+ 72HRS (posted 30 DEC.) and the Aleutians are active with what I believe is foreshock activity with transferrence from East Russia. This also means that there will be potential activity near Kodiak again as far as Anchorage or Fairbanks westward. Shumagin gap is a place that scares me as potential Tsunami breeding ground. On yer toes Alaska!

Good there are people out there who pick up on the lessor quakes. Would like to know the HOW Martin does it.

>TR-FAR NORTHEAST/+4.6/50%
Out of critical until 1/18.

>RS-NORTHRIDGE TO SAN JOSE/4.4/50%
15MM- 11/8/97 12/28-1/5 +5.2 if Parkfield

>RB ARC - RIDGECREST TO N. GULF OF CAL./+4.2/50%
60MM 6/16/94 12/29-1/5 +6.0 if Banning
180MM- 6/17/94 12/29-1/6 +8.4 if New York
120MM 3/2/95 12/27-1/3 +8.0 New Madrid fault
30MM 4/18/98 12/30-1/7 +5.0 if Hector aftershock

While any of the above PRs could produce an East Coast quake of some size, the 180MM- is the most likely at the moment, but it has only today and tomorrow to occur and then it must wait until the end of March.

>C L. A. BASIN-SOUTH COAST-/+4.0/+50%
Out of critical until 1/10.
>LB-S. CAL COAST NORTH/50%
Out of critical until 1/3.

On 29 December, I was hit by a M spike for this area and this could indicate that LB will have its quake during the nine day window, beginning tomorrow:

20MS 6/22/94 1-3-11 +5.0 if off Santa Barbara

>B- BAJA COAST/5.0/50%
Out of critical until 1/24.

>TL-RING OF FIRE/WORLD OUTSIDE OTHER AREAS/+6.3/50%
90MM 1/17/96 12/27-1/4 +8.5 if Kurils/8.2 if Atlantic ocean

>TL S RANGE SPIKES IN CRITICAL: Two S-, One S and One S+ (In critical; 12/31-1/8)

It is TL which has completely confused me of late. It has always been the teacher. What patterns happened there were sure to show up, first, in LS and then the other areas. But now, I'm not sure. It appears that either I have been made less sensitive to the world at large or am not to be warned of future quakes there. Either the fewer spikes there will produce much larger quakes, which seems to be what is happening, or I don't know. That said, I have had been hit by a S, S-, M- and M- over the last two days. Since 12/4, the quakes have been coming in at 1, 4, and 9 days plus or minus 4 days. Looking ahead, TL will remain in critical until 1/26 and then will go out until 2/1. During this time, five PRs will come into critical. Three could produce very large EQs and two in the 6.4-6.9 range.

I need to update the below, don't I? Will try as soon as I can.
