2:08 P.M.
Earlier, I was feeling just fatigue without crankiness. About an hour or two later, I then thought to myself "Alright. Now I am pissed!" It did not hit me until it exceeded 9 hours without a single mag. 1+ within 95 miles. It started affecting me then and that was when the high irritability set in. I made some small mistake earlier and I suddenly flew into a shouting, swearing, self-berating tirade. I noticed that some other things were trying my patience as well.
Now, aside from the ongoing aftershocks in the Eastern coast of the Adriatic Sea in Europe, there is not that much going on anywhere else in the world for now. I have noticed that the impact of a minor seismic event that is either North of the Garlock fault or well South of the Salton Sea, is much less significant than it would be closer to where I am. It would have to be a radius of a little less than 100 miles to really physically affect me. Of course, I can still feel more significant events farther away, but if it is a magnitude 4 or lower North of the Garlock Fault or South of the Salton Sea closer to the Mexico border, it wouldn't be enough.
Since this area has been so overdue for a big earthquake, the stress deep in the Earth is extremely high and I figured that is why it has that kind of effect on me when there is so little energy being released for a while. I still have a strong feeling that it could bounce back up again within the next 2 or 3 days. It could even heat up again tomorrow or a few hours from now. More recently, there have been shorter gaps between mag. 3+ quakes and higher rates of overall activity. It has been more up and down lately.
