 I cannot believe it has been 2 years since the Ridgecrest earthquakes. I still remember it as though it were just last week. I recall what I felt that morning just before the magnitude 6.4 foreshock. I was outside with my cat and it also happened to be a certain time of the month(day 3). I was feeling some sharp pains in my left side as I was trying to get my cat who was trying to run up a hill. I also felt a burning pressure on my uterus as it was that time. I had to go inside and sit. I was feeling some side pains and something was squeezing me from inside. I was a bit uncomfortable for those 10 or 15 minutes leading up to the first earthquake. Eventually, I felt a strong set of rolling waves course through and the pain and that discomfort was gone. However, my side was aching all throughout the day and the next day leading up to the magnitude 7.1 mainshock. I had a similar experience in June of last year before a magnitude 5.3 in that same area. Those earthquakes were about 100 miles away. I have been pondering what it would have been like if I were close to the epicenters. Now I'm going to talk about today. Now that I'm here in Tennessee, people would probably say Good luck feeling something happen there! Well, TN does have earthquakes. It may not be on a tectonic plate boundary and earthquakes are much less frequent here, but a large destructive earthquake is definitely possible in this part of the country. In the meantime, I pick up on energy from earthquake activity around the world. However, I felt some pain the other day and it was not very active in the world. There was a mag. 2.4 earthquake near the town of Jellico, TN about an hour later. It was more than 100 miles from my location, but I could be more acutely sensitive to ground movement in this area with the softer soil and geological make-up. I'm not sure yet because it was still a bit of a ways off and a small quake. I will be finding out what will happen when one happens closer to my location and its size. There have been small quakes in Middle Tennessee before. Not long ago, there was one that happened in the area. I felt some pain and pressure in my side today. There has been more going on in the world in terms of significant earthquake activity.
