Thanks smartbuddy

Hmm yep.. I was having a look at that one also, I do believe there is alot of testing around those areas which tend to make quite alot of sound waves in the past,
Im sure there was some up coming testing happening in that area soon, Ill have to have a dig about and see if theres anything on that.

But yes things are starting to shake a little in a few areas this last few days,

You mentioned 'Quakes' I see only 'Quake' as in singular.

Are there more?

Is this area connected to the ring o fire by chance? I beleive so and that has been where the last 3 big EQ have been? I believe due to this and the heavy elenin alignment upcoming I think a really big one between aug 11 - 18th? I think it will be somewhere in southern california just a guess anyway
