Hello Petra,

Thanks so much for the kind welcome to Earthwaves. I was very hesitant to post on Craigslist about my feelings, but I felt the need to warn people, and whether they took my post seriously or not, I wanted to remind everyone that we should all be prepared for a major earth event. I saved my post along with the hundred or so responses I received, some on the board, but most by e mail.
I was surprised that I received so few negative reponses . Most people that responded were very interested in how these feelings manifest within me, how often I am correct, etc. I recall that I posted of strong feelings of an impending significant quake, within 48 hours or so in Northern California. The quake occurred almost exactly 48 hours later. I am so grateful for this forum. Actually, a CL reader suggested posting on Earthwaves as a forum where my feelings would be accepted and understood. I'm not sure why I've waited so long. Since then, I have made at least a dozen or so accurate predictions, but have only posted one time again on CL. It happened as I predicted, but the magnitude was less than I felt it would be. When the quake that I initially posted about occurred, I was swamped with E mails from people that had read my post and stated that they thought of having read it as it was actually happening. In fact, I received E mails from many newspapers wanting to meet me to discuss my prediction. Out of many, I only interviewed with The SF Weekly, and I decided that I didn't wish for the story to be published. They respected my wishes, but I still hear from many folks that are curious about any feelings I might be having about possible future events. Many asked that I put them on a mailing list and send them any thoughts or feelings that I might be having re an upcoming event. Frankly, I felt it best not to. To answer your inquiry as to the timeframe, I cannot explain very well where this came from. There isn't a steadfast pattern of thoughts, visions, or emotions. I take in what I receive and usually write it all down. Sometimes it comes in dreams, sometimes a date will come to mind and just stays there nagging at me. If an event happens, I have a record of it. In all honesty, like others that have these feelings, it is not always easy to share. I have been feeling this 'substantial' earth movement for some time. When it lasts this long, I'm usually dead on correct. The date came to me when I was having these feelings and has not left me. I'm actually far from being an expert in this matter. However, my track record often suprises even me. Just as the date came into my mind, so did the time I stated. As always, I hope that I am wrong. At least on this site, I believe that I won't be rudely dismissed if I am wrong. I am currently having major house repairs (all new electrical wiring) and much of my belongings are boxed up. I can find my 'quake folder' if you like, and share with you my original post, the board responses and even the e mails I received from Craigslist users that were interested in my post. As far as the event I'm feeling for September 28, all I can say is the feeling is strong, and the date is constant in my mind. Believe me, I've checked my emergency pack again just in case. Thanks for responding so kindly and I'd be happy to discuss this further if you like.
