MINERAL, Va.-- Central Virginia has been shaken by another aftershock from last week's earthquake.
The U.S. Geological Survey reports a 3.4 magnitude aftershock at 5:09 a.m. Thursday. The epicenter was 4 miles south-southeast of Mineral.
Mineral was the epicenter of last Tuesday's 5.8 magnitude earthquake that rattled the East Coast. More than 20 aftershocks ranging from 4.5 to 1.8 have followed the earthquake.

Then I got to wondering if we humans retain any instincts like our pets. I get episodes of tinnitus and vertigo periodically and from now on - I'm keeping a diary;)
Then I found this:http://www.abovetopsecret.com/forum/thread662781/pg1
Interesting.
(((ping)))
Because you know everything;) tee hee
I think we do. When I lived in the land of Fruits and Nuts (California) I used to wake up for no apparent reason, only to find out later that there had been a small shock.

Physical symptoms and advance warnings
In the past five years, Suzanne Smart has endured two CAT Scans, two EEG’s, one Audiogram test, and a host of other medical tests by specialists seeking to determine why she suffered from rare and mysterious migraines, screeching ear tones and intense ear pain. After a big earthquake, the symptoms would disappear.
See post #4.
By George - it’s time to do something about it;)
(In my most terrified, frantic liberal voice) IT’S THE FRACKING! WE’RE ALL GONNA’ DIE!
Didn’t feel a thing in Maryland and I was up at 5:09; just lounging in bed.
I live in Richmond and was awake at 5:09. Didn’t feel a thing. Wishful thinking to hammer us further on global warming.
It’s funny, but I remember listening to the very beginning of WTOP’s 5:08 traffic report (my radio goes on at 5:00). Then for some reason I dropped off snoozing for several minutes - don’t remember the traffic or weather report at all. Woke up again at 5:11 and stumbled out of bed. Maybe a picture fell off the wall at 5:09 and hit me on the head. :-)
My son is afraid that ‘fracking’ will be blamed and onerous regulations, tests and studies performed.
I am not overlooking the political fallout/opportunism from the Mineral earthquake - but was just pondering the possibility that humans still retain predictive powers similar to our domestic and wild critters.
Did you just ‘wake-up’ at 5:09 - or were you up much earlier? Is this your normal wake-up time?
Perhaps you didn’t physically ‘feel’ anything - but maybe your inner ear had already tuned in;)
Just sayin’.
My alarm went off at 4:55, so I was technically awake at the time. I thought I felt something last night around 9:00 p.m. but then discovered that the cat had jumped up on my bed and was scratching herself. She actually shook the bed with the scratching LOL!
If you go to the USGS site you’ll see that we’ve been having aftershocks every day, sometimes twice a day, since the original one.
I don’t need to wake up for them, my dogs make sure I know about the aftershocks. We have to wake up even when I can’t feel them. God forbid I should be allowed to sleep through one.
Yes indeed - family members live 20 miles from Mineral - and they have felt almost all the after shocks.
We always hear anecdotal evidence concerning the behavior of cats, dogs and wildlife preceding the physical ‘jolt’ that we humans feel; then I began to wonder if some of us might experience similar ‘intuitive/instinctive’ sensations, like inner ear imbalance ahead of the primary jolt and aftershocks.
Might be worth a government financed study;) LOL!
We slept right through it. What surprises me more is that the dogs didn’t bark.
