 I noticed that I felt some pain in my left side yesterday evening and last night. I sort of ignored it. I really did not think a new post in this blog was necessary and I was not sure what to say on Twitter. It felt like something was going on somewhere, but at the same time, there probably was not going to be that much going on for another week as there had already been a number of significant quakes in the world late last week and early this week. However, I did say in the outlook that one strong earthquake happening somewhere this week was still possible. I may have Tweeted a few times about physical symptoms I was feeling, but I discontinued that. I'm becoming a little more self-aware and people may not make sense of that. A magnitude 6.6 earthquake struck the Solomon Islands just as I was going to bed. It did not immediately show up on my Twitter feed or the USGS earthquake monitor. There was very little going on anywhere else in the world. It is hard to say what I feel in terms of activity occurring somewhere closer to my location. There has not been anything of magnitude 3 and above nearby. Back in CA, I would feel pain with each little flare-up of earthquakes smaller than mag. 3 in the region. The seismicity on this side of the country is much lower for obvious reasons. I guess it would feel like something is about to pop when it comes to noticeable earthquakes. A couple months ago, a mag. 2.3 struck about 12 miles from where I live. It occurred overnight while everyone was in bed and that was too small to wake people up. It also occurred in a rural area. On Wednesday afternoon, a magnitude 2.3 struck near Chattanooga. I could have faintly felt some sensation beforehand, but not enough to thoroughly grab my attention. It was again, too small and it was more of a distance away. It is hard processing larger scale activity from all over the world and whatever may be going on in this region which is far away from any plate boundary. So far, I still feel a little tingly, so there could be more going on whether it be more significant events in the world or something a little closer to my location.
