La cosa esta canijo.

A few years ago I was in Bahia Asuncion at the time of the beginning of the earthquake swarms. I was standing in front of Manuel Arces' new place looking
out toward the water while we talked. All of a sudden I heard a loud report.
I asked Manuel if the military was shelling he said no. I asked is there any
work going on where they use explosives. Again he said no. Then all became
clear as we were rudely shaken. I have heard from people before saying that
loud explosion like sounds occur before earthquakes but have never experienced it myself until then. That was not the last of the shaking. It went on for quite awhile afterwards. Maybe Shari can tell us if the loud explosion like noises happened again during the numerous quakes that followed.

"tweeks," "whistlers" and "sferics."


Perhaps you all just heard my snoring....... this topic got my curiosity:

The Hum – ‘a mysterious and untraceable sound that is heard in certain locations around the world by two to ten per cent of the population’.

".......It’s electromagnetic noise emitted from auroras and radiation belts.

".........telephone transmissions and ‘aircraft operated by the U.S Navy for the purpose of submarine communications’.

Old people are like the old cars, made of some tough stuff. May show a little rust, but good as gold on the inside.

In southwestern Utah about 40 miles northwest of St. George are the Iron Mountains. I camped with friends there 35 years ago, and we heard 'thunder' on a clear night. The area is close to the Nevada test ranges, but as history recorded, the early settlers would hear it, and the indians of the area called them the "Thunder-Guns". It was explained to me as possibly from magnetic forces in the mountains, as they are very rich in heavy metals, especially iron ore. How it all works is beyond me, but was a plausible explanation. Rocks carry 'positive' and 'negative' charges, and possibly create .... ground thunder? Quien sabes?

The San Pedro Martyr is part of the California batholith, and is also very iron-rich. I'd venture there'd be lore of the 'booms' from indigenous folk-tales in a lot of similar geologic make-ups, both fault-zoned or not.
