Right now! Hollister Ca.

Was scrolling to see information on a large earthquake in Japan and stumbled upon this, thought it was cool enough to share as I haven’t seen a similar website.

Recently moved to Japan, started experiencing earthquakes for the first time.

Each time about 5-10 minutes before it hits I get the whole feeling of impending doom and feel like I’m being chased around and have to run away. I’ve literally run home or started freaking out silently walking down because I feel like I’m in an adrenaline surge.

The first few times I assumed it was some weird anxiety attack or that I hadn’t had enough water or was dehydrated or something, but then each time there would be a (tiny) earthquake that originated nearby but not directly where I am.

The two times I fully freaked out were earthquakes that lasted longer than 30 seconds, but again were mild where I was and much stronger elsewhere.

Google isn’t much help since you-know-what messes up the decent search results we used to get and neither is what I’ve found on Reddit because all I can find is something about ‘pwaves’ (but those are apparently only a few seconds before hand and are pressure changes?) and people claiming to be psychic.

Is there some measure that does significantly change that could cause this? I’ve always had excruciatingly painfully sensitive ears, and I do get a bit of vertigo to go with the blind panic

I’ve never dealt with earthquakes before so I apologize if this is something that most people know, but it’s all new to me

[supprimé]

Since May 9/16:15 Pacific Daylight Savings Time, the earthquake.usgs.gov website has recorded 17 earthquakes in a span of 5 hours. including 4.4 and 4.5 shocks, 1 to 1.4 km NW of Brawley, 32.990°N 115.552°W. It's a fairly active zone along the San Jacinto fault.

(Sorry, haven't yet figured out how to stop my map from taking up a huge amount of space.)

I live in Southern California and we’ve had a significant increase in medium earthquakes.

I’ve learned recently about the Juan de Fuca and Explorer plates are slowly sliding beneath the North American plate. (The tectonic plates located near Washington/ Vancouver Canada coast)

Last year studies indicated Juan de Fuca plate in particular is crumbling apart and there is a 2km ridge or a hole in the tectonic plates between the coast of Vancouver and Seattle.

I’m growing increasingly concerned and I just would like to know what people’s plans are if it happens and how to prepare possibly.
