Something just tells me to keep this bumped....don't know why...
I was literally just outside in my yard, listening, waiting. Not sure why - just feeling like something is coming.Something just tells me to keep this bumped....don't know why...
Something just tells me to keep this bumped....don't know why...
And with the software that the guys from VaTech are developing saying that we are going into another window on Saturday, and lasting 9 days, this may be interesting.
It is a low probability window at least...

Mysterious hum in Canada coming from U.S.
Published: April 21, 2012 at 5:53 PM
WINDSOR, Ontario, April 21 (UPI) -- A mysterious humming sound that has drawn hundreds of complaints in Windsor, Canada, for more than a year is emanating from Michigan, testing has determined.
The low-frequency, rumbling noise dubbed the Windsor hum is coming from the area of Zug Island, an industrial site, the Canadian Broadcasting Corp. reported.
But officials in River Rogue, Mich., where Zug Island is located, have said they don't have the money to find the precise source of the noise.
"The government of Canada takes this issue seriously," Bob Dechert, a conservative member of Canadian Parliament, said in a news release. "It is important that we find a solution that works for the people of Windsor."
Jim Bradley, Ontario's environment minister, said the ministry has received nearly 500 complaints about the noise, and about 22,000 residents took part in a telephone forum in February about the hum.
Bradley has sent letters to municipal, state and federal officials in the United States asking them to take action, while Dechert has met with representatives of the Great Lakes Commission, the Council of Great Lakes Industries, the Southeast Michigan Council of Governments and the Regional Office of the International Joint Commission to discuss the hum.
Gary Gross said he's had his fill of the hum.
"I was in bed, it was about 2:30 a.m. and I could just hear this pulsing noise," he told CBC News. "I decided to get up. It disturbed my sleep and I couldn't get back to sleep."
A window for what exactly?
Based on my recollections the sounds dis not "stsrt" in clintonville. They have been around for years, dateing back to American Indian "Senaca Guns". They are being reported more frequently now however.
This software that they are working on, predicts the probability of earthquakes by taking in a lot of different information from sensors around the world, including seismic data, stress/shear detectors and, solar outbursts (geomagnetic and CME impacts).
While it is still a very "raw" work in progress, it has been close on quite a few windows. We also have the sun ramping back up for more outbursts in less than 3 weeks, so that will add to the stresses.
Time will tell.

Nothing's been booming or shaking in Clintonville for a few weeks so seismometers and sound sensors were being pulled out of the ground and packed up Monday.
A swarm of minor earthquakes that besieged the city in late March -- rattling windows and disrupting sleep -- grabbed international headlines and spawned rumors about what could be causing the unusual vibrations and accompanying loud noises. But no aliens, underground mines or secret tunnels were found.
Several residents at public meetings blamed pranksters blowing up fireworks in city sewers while others questioned if unusually warm weather was to blame.
"We're confident they were earthquakes," City Administrator Lisa Kuss said Monday. The swarm that introduced Clintonville to the world appears to be over.
There have been no recent calls to police complaining of booms or tremors, Kuss said.
Media flocked to Clintonville at the time. Both NBC's The Today Today Show and ABC's Good Morning, America sent teams there, as did a Japanese television crew based in New York City, BBC and Canadian Public Radio.
A CNN crew spent three days there.
Two earthquakes were detected during the swarm: a 1.5 magnitude shake at 12:15 a.m. March 20; and a 0.1 magnitude shiver around 8:10 p.m. March 29.
After all the hub bub, Clintonville residents are left only with an official city t-shirt boldly stating: "I survived the 1.5." Proceeds from sales of the quake wear will be used to establish a Saturday morning farm market, Mayor Judith Magee said.
On Monday, an array of four seismometers and eight sound-sensing microphones installed March 29 by Michigan Technological University were to be removed, assistant professor Greg Waite said.
The Michigan Tech seismometers detected the tiny tremble on March 29. Federal government seismometers are too distant to detect such a low-energy shake.
An amateur quake chaser from Madison did something during the swarm that state and national media assembled here did not. Reporters and camera crews frequently parked on city streets in late March waiting to hear a boom, or feel the earth move for themselves.
At midnight March 24, Madison Area Technical College student Brian Sullivan recorded a low-pitched rumble like the muffled pounding of a bass drum or far-away thunder.
This was the authentic Clintonville boom sound, Kuss said. She released a recording so the world could hear Clintonville's pain.
If earthquakes caused the booms and tremors, what caused the quakes? The retreat of the last glacier, not a fault in bedrock.
Scientists at the Wisconsin Geological and Natural History Survey in Madison said the low-intensity seismic activity likely was produced by a phenomenon known as post-glacial rebounding.
Granite bedrock beneath eastern Waupaca County is slowly adjusting to a great weight being lifted off it when the last glacier melted more than 10,000 years ago. As the granite stretches, rising only a few millimeters a year, it can crack to relieve pressure.
The crack releases enough energy to create a seismic wave that rises to the surface. There is no known geologic fault beneath central Wisconsin.
Sure, how would they know? Have they been standing there all this time, waiting to see if their theory is right? It would take a far stretch of the imagination to just believe that on a whim...Granite bedrock beneath eastern Waupaca County is slowly adjusting to a great weight being lifted off it when the last glacier melted more than 10,000 years ago.

I went to this website: http://anf.ucsd.edu/recenteqs/ and saw this earth quake posted. Looks like it's quite close to Chicken Bone Lake FWIW. Sorry that I don't know how to post the picture to this thread. Looks like Minnesota had a few EQs too April 23 and April 27 up near the Canadian border. This is the info in a box inside of the map:
