There has been a flurry of activity in Southern California this week. It has rested a bit since yesterday evening, but it still may not be over yet. I still feel that there should be a magnitude 4 or higher within the next week at this point. It could even happen any moment now. At the same time, it may be at a resting point for now.
I still am feeling in that state of anticipation. I still have experienced bouts of dizziness and side tenderness(left side). There could also be something particularly large going on elsewhere in the world. At this point, it could happen any time now or delay for another 2 or 3 weeks(mag. 7+ worldwide). 
I've been overwhelmed lately. I have been feeling a bit lighter and not irritable anymore. I still feel that there is more to come. I'm just not sure whether it will be today or 2 or 3 weeks from now.

So far, I still have not lost those feelings. It still feels like something is coming up within a week or two. I still feel side pains at times and dizziness. My energy has been up. I have also been feeling very anxious and extremely irritable with the lack of enough activity anywhere. It feels like the world is due for more magnitude 7 or greater earthquakes within the next week or two or perhaps any time now. I feel like I'm also anticipating more activity here in Southern California within the next week or two or any time now. I'm talking about magnitude 4 or higher.
I've been feeling restless over the last week and feeling like there is due to be more after having some magnitude 3-pointers last week. This is somewhat unfamiliar to me because in the past, the feelings would fade roughly 2 or 3 days later. At this point, it feels jammed up all over. It is not a fun feeling either. Everything irritates me and I'm feeling quite sensitive. When I poke my left side, I feel a sore spot, so I am tender right there. I usually feel tenderness there before earthquakes. I also feel some spasms in my side as I poke and squeeze myself there.

Even though I previously stated that I will be journaling all this everyday that I can, I rather post sparingly. I may be too busy to write everyday and feel that I should not have to whenever I'm really not feeling anything unusual taking place. Lately, I have been feeling like something may be happening here within several weeks or possibly sooner. Something could even suddenly happen tomorrow. It can go from 0 to 90 in a matter of seconds. At this point, even though there has not been much taking place here in Southern California all day, it feels like a more significant event is on the horizon so far.
Lately, I have been feeling pain and tenderness in my left side, dizziness, some ruddy vision or red and orange/yellow spots/flashes, increased body temperature(feeling warm in the face and hands), heaviness of the feet and lower body, feeling overwhelmed, feeling more shy and withdrawn than usual. I know this sounds like crazy talk, but these were symptoms I experienced whenever more seismic activity would surge here or if I sensed a possible change taking place soon. I have been at that point numerous times where I felt like something bigger was around the corner, but the feelings went away.
I have been starting to have these feelings over the past week. Yesterday, I became extremely depressed for a moment because there was very little earthquake activity going on anywhere in the world. There was due to be more large quakes worldwide and it was all blocked up. I felt some relief as soon as a magnitude 5.2 struck Papua New Guinea and some more very small quakes began popping around here in Southern California. Late last night(California time), a magnitude 6.1 struck Taiwan.
This morning, another strong earthquake occurred in the Western Indian-Antarctic Ridge and more micro quakes were occurring more in Southern CA. Then it all stopped. It flared up a little again later this afternoon - more moderate EQs globally and more tiny EQs locally. Then after an hour, that was it. It has been an uptight feeling all day long. I have also felt extremely irritable on and off over the past 2 days, while there was no release in strain energy anywhere whatsoever. While there could be more taking place here in Southern California any minute now, it might not be acting up at all until tomorrow, this weekend or next week. A major earthquake feels like it is due to strike somewhere at any time or within the next 3-7 days, but it also may not act up much anywhere for another week or two.

This sounds very similar to the kind of posts I make on the other blog, but this blog revolves around what I'm feeling and these symptoms. I figured that eventually people will question how exactly I forecast earthquakes with me not being an actual scientist and having no formal education after high school. I may base it on the current data and monitor the real-time activity map, but people will still wonder what else exactly I base it on. There does not have to be that much taking place out there whenever I put a message out there.

Introduction

This blog will be dedicated to what I'm feeling everyday in relation to the seismic activity - whether it be more local activity or large earthquakes globally. I have mentioned before how I feel peculiar symptoms before and during earthquake activity. It is also quite complicated for I can get local seismic activity confused with a big quake happening somewhere else in the world. I feel pain in my left side - the flank; region on the lower ribs, kidney, and towards the back - before earthquakes. Usually, before a magnitude 3 or higher or numerous micro quakes flaring up simultaneously, I tend to feel some acute pains, though not severe. That is, if the activity is within a 30, 40, or perhaps 50-mile radius in respect of my location. If it is farther away such as 70 to 100 miles from where I am, the pain tends to be duller. It also depends on the earthquake's size. I still have not experienced a big one out here yet. I have lived in Southern California for 6 years.

I remember my first time visiting here which was also my first time on a tectonic plate boundary. It was in mid November 2009. I went on a hike in the San Gabriels around the town of Wrightwood which was the highest point on the San Andreas Fault. I was hiking all day. We also visited the Devil's Punchbowl and went through the town of Valyermo. The following morning, the bottom of my feet were sore, heavy, and tingling. My skin also became splotchy and looked as though I were running a fever. I began feeling a pressure in my left side. 2 days later, I was in the town of Hesperia. I was outside walking along a dirt road in the high desert when I felt this hard knot of pressure in my left side. It made me feel very warm and it was somewhat painful. About an hour later, we stopped somewhere for lunch in Victorville and I suddenly felt some light shaking inside the restaurant. A magnitude 4.1 had occurred about 80-odd miles North of where we were near the town of Trona. I was probably the first person in there who noticed the shaking.

A couple of days later, when we were leaving, the strangest thing happened. I know that I was not imagining it either. In the plane as we were taking off and left the ground, I started feeling a dull and strong pain in my left side. It felt as though the energy from the ground there had welled up inside me and was being pulled apart. It felt like it snapped while we were in the air, leaving a piece of that in me forever. It was all in my system and I would be carrying it wherever I go from that moment on. My life had been altered. When I was back in Florida, I began detecting earthquakes from all over the world beforehand. I was not all too aware of it, but I remember feeling some odd sensations one afternoon while I was outside. This was just before the magnitude 7.0 earthquake in Haiti which would go down in history as one of the deadliest earthquakes of all time.

Florida was a sand trap. The soil composition played a huge role. The loose sand with high water tables amplified the seismic energy from distant earthquake activity around the globe. At times, it would become pent up inside of me, making me anxious and feeling the need to travel around. I suffered from frequent bouts of restless legs at night and it drove me insane. I was also more sensitive and felt more unstable emotionally. While visiting relatives in Tennessee, I felt more stable there where the ground was a bit more firm. We also made a trip to Houston Texas in April 2012. While we were staying in a hotel which was a high-rise building, I was very dizzy and kept feeling like the building was slightly swaying. It even felt like I was on a bus that was in motion.

When we finally moved here in December 2012, my body further altered to the change of being on a tectonic plate boundary again. Magnitude 3-pointers close by were more painful. I would feel a sharp pain in my left side each time. Then my body would adjust over the years. I suddenly found myself feeling more anxious and extremely irritable as years passed without any significant incident. I knew the region has been overdue for a large earthquake and there has not been anything big since the 90s. The strain energy and pressure gets to me. I have also noticed that I would become extremely depressed after an extended period of no activity and no large EQs anywhere else in the world for a while. It's organic. It is not a choice. I know without looking at the monitor when there is activity going on somewhere and when there is not.

Now, I'm going to be documenting just about everyday I can what I am feeling in relation to the current activity. I may not post too frequently, but I will have to post more than once a week for it changes constantly. I can begin feeling things that would be signs of it becoming more active locally or a powerful quake potentially on the verge of happening somewhere else in the world and then suddenly would lose those feelings. Earthquakes bluff. You always have to be on guard. The key is to live in the present moment and not rely on what you're used to with the way it has been for a long time. It would feel like something significant may finally be in the horizon here, but the feeling would drop again. Eventually, that will no longer be the case and it will unleash in a full-fledged major earthquake.
