Earthquake alert! Is anyone else feeling this?

I’ve got a pretty heightened sense for vibrations since I’m almost deaf.

Lately, I’ve been feeling super on edge because I can feel these vibrations while I'm lying in bed, and the closer I get to the edge, the more intense they get.
I can't really put my finger on it, but I know things are shifting with the Earth. I think we might be hitting some kind of end cycle, especially since I have some faith in Mayan prophecy and the wisdom they left behind. I wonder if this is all connected. This vibration is honestly getting on my nerves, and at the same time, it scares me thinking about what's coming next. Between the constant flooding, earthquakes, hurricanes, contaminated water, GMOs, and just how much human greed has spiked lately...

What do you guys think is actually going on???

I don't have an explanation for this vibration—I'm no astronomer—I just watch what's happening and make guesses. But this thing is heavy. Even when I sit on the bed and press down hard, I still feel it, just differently, like I'm trying to ground it or stop it from flowing. I live on the 10th floor of an apartment building, and it isn't even windy out; the weather is perfectly calm and warm. 🤷

It is entirely possible that your neighbor simply decided to reposition their washing machine.
🙂

I took a quick look around outside just now, and honestly, I didn't see a single slug—which, let’s not forget, are incredibly sensitive to even the slightest vibrations—trying to make a break for it from the soil. If you ask me, I think you're just pulling my leg.

Vibrations can come from pretty much anything—heavy traffic, loud bass, industrial machinery... It doesn't always mean the ground itself is shaking. Then again, in areas prone to seismic activity, you’ve got dozens of minor tremors happening every single day that most people wouldn't even notice if they weren't looking for them.

Take the Aegean Sea and parts of Greece, for example. In just the last 24 hours, there have been about ten quakes of varying intensity, including one hitting a 5.1 on the Richter scale. That's not even counting the tiny ones under magnitude 2. Just another Tuesday in Greece.🙂

"DIVINE POWER," huh? Doesn't really fit if you don't believe in all those "higher powers" and their endless possibilities

We had an earthquake about a month ago here in the States, hit a 5.6 on the Richter scale, and the epicenter was only about ninety minutes away from me
It lasted maybe two minutes and then stopped. Not even a single thing fell off my shelves. But this stuff happening near me right now... it’s going on day and night, five nights straight. We've had tremors before, but this is getting unbearable. My mom doesn't really feel it, but I do—I've got a crazy sense for vibrations since I'm deaf. So, I guess that's the logical way to wrap my head around this "divine power" thing

Buy Mom a seismograph. Then, honestly, everyone—including her—will actually start taking you seriously.

I really love people who think a shaking bed means the whole world is falling apart. 😁 Is there even a name for that kind of phenomenon?

Self-centric 😬

I'd honestly trade my hearing just to make this sense of vibration feel a bit more intense🙄

So basically earthquakes on the Island over the last 48 hours. The US is just an active place, I guess, nothing really new there.

Maybe you should go see a doctor. Being deaf doesn't exactly grant you superpowers. It's pretty clear you're sensing things that aren't even there, which is honestly a bit concerning...

Looks like the geologists aren't even bothering to show up here

You really shot yourself in the foot there... I mean, geology is still a science, isn't it?...
What are those guys even doing here... and where's Mujo dobro...

You might as well just delete the thread. When a moderator starts acting like they're superior to everyone else and tries to lecture people without even knowing what a geologist is, why bother humiliating yourself by bringing this back to health... If you think I started this topic because of hearing issues, you're dead wrong...
Can one science moderator really not grasp that when you lose a sense like sight or hearing, your other senses become way more acute? I tried explaining how unsettling this feels living on the tenth floor in the middle of New York City, but I guess I see why people respond like this now. Probably hasn't been a single actual geologist here, just a bunch of people acting like they have all the answers...
I was actually enjoying that deep dive into the Maya... then these guys show up acting like they own the science forum without ever stepping outside their narrow little bubbles. How am I supposed to stay interested when people can't just have a broad conversation...

dustypuma5 and bluepuma9 were the only ones who actually made sense here. They should be running this place... 🙂

Who actually runs this place? Someone needs to tell the owner that this moderator clearly hasn't earned his stripes... or even the basic knowledge required to be on this subforum. To those of you who hang around here regularly, please report this to the boss or just DM me and let me know who's actually in charge... thanks.

Look, I’m not trying to step on any moderator toes here—seriously, I know how this works—but honestly, this whole thread is leaning way more toward health than anything else. See, people think "health" just means you aren't currently lying in a hospital bed, but that's such a narrow way to look at it; it’s a massive, broad concept when you really get into it. And regarding what you said about sharpening your other senses... yeah, I’m totally with you there. When one sense goes completely dark, it’s definitely possible for the others to dial it up to compensate. It actually happens to me too—I'll suddenly feel this weird little "micro-earthquake" right under my feet, and if I were to ever mention it to anyone, they’d probably look at me like I’ve lost my mind, only for the news to report a tremor later on.

... because I happen to be on the tenth floor, living right in the heart of this beautiful country's capital...

... but tell me, does this capital actually have a subway system, an industrial district, or an airport?

It’s unlikely any actual geologist stumbled upon this thread; instead, we just have people popping up who think they’ve cracked the code.

... maybe an architect or a civil engineer would be the right person to ask for a real answer... how old is the building you're in, how tall is it, and what kind of seismic protection does it have? (Some modern skyscrapers use very specific dampening systems, after all)
... anyway, those vibrations—if my senses aren't deceiving me—might have much more local causes... just a guess. 🤷

I can't explain it, but I know things are happening with the Earth. It's going through a final cycle, since I have some faith in the Mayan prophecy—specifically in the knowledge they possessed.

... you might want to avoid mentioning that on the subforums where everything is neatly labeled, sterilized, and tucked away in drawers, while the commenters look down from their Olympian heights, contemptuously spitting on anyone who hasn't reached their level of "evolution." 😍

I wonder if this is all connected now. These vibrations really get on my nerves, and at the same time, I'm terrified of what's coming. Lately, there's been constant flooding, earthquakes, hurricanes, water contamination, GMO foods... human greed has just spiraled out of control.

... oh, don't worry about it; the world keeps spinning just like it always has. There's nothing new under the sun... 😉

... honestly, is there any country more beautiful than Canada? 🙂

The building’s about 20 years old, complete with a basement where everyone stashes their junk, like an old bike or whatever...

As for the mods, someone really needs to keep an eye on them to make sure they're actually pulling their weight...

Back when I dealt with cardboard boxes, I always knew I earned my keep, but this mod is messing up. They moved this thread to health instead of geology, but since there isn't a specific subforum for that, I guess science was the next best thing. And no, I wasn't talking about hearing loss—I wear a hearing aid...

Honestly, I couldn't care less about the Mayan calendar anymore. It's just pure Mason stuff, and even if it were true, all people would do is try to exploit the date...

Canada is nice, but the Midwest is beautiful too, right at the heart of everything...

Mod?
Nah, I'm good. Not even interested. 😁
So, what’s the deal with the Mayan calendar? I guess.
So many world-ending scenarios have been predicted over the last century. And honestly? Not a single one actually happened.

The Earth is like 4.5 billion years old, and honestly, the fact that we even exist is just a massive stroke of luck where everything happened to line up perfectly. It’s not like the universe was specifically rigged for us to show up—you know, that whole idea about some divine design or whatever—but more like the conditions just worked out. We ended up at the right distance from the sun, we have the moon, and Jupiter's huge gravity basically acted like a cosmic vacuum, sweeping up most of the big meteors heading our way. I guess one meteor still managed to slip through and wipe out the dinosaurs, which probably just paved the way for mammals anyway.
So, evolution basically messed up by giving us an extra finger and a slightly bigger brain, and now we've gone off the deep end. We started building all these neural connections and suddenly we're convinced we actually matter in this universe, like the whole damn cosmos was just designed for us or something. I guess.
The Mayan calendar might seem like a big deal if you're just some worm crawling around for 70 years or whatever, but for the planet and the universe? It’s basically a blink. I guess Earth has already cycled through tons of phases—temps spiking and dropping, magnetic poles flipping, all that stuff. We've drifted through sketchy parts of the galaxy, and honestly, there's still a hell of a lot more crazy stuff coming our way.
Whether we're part of the equation or just watching from the sidelines, nobody really knows. But honestly, everything we can pull off at our scale feels pretty damn small. It’s basically like some ant under a skyscraper in New York City taking a dump and thinking it actually matters what happens on the 127th floor. I guess.
Then some rational person comes along and says that's just stupid, but then you always get some skeptic ant popping up claiming if enough ants poop, maybe it could somehow affect a 127-story skyscraper. I guess.

We need way more manpower, I guess. We still have so much ground to cover if we ever want to actually influence anything happening out in space. Honestly, even the most powerful stuff we’ve built and blown up is basically nothing compared to the forces running the universe.

I guess having a bigger brain just means we can trick ourselves into thinking we're worth more than we actually are. It’s probably just an evolutionary glitch that holds us back.

It’s in the documentary, I guess. Space with Neil Armstrong It’s like that one crazy analogy where Sam holds a handful of sand and asks how many grains are actually in there. I guess.
There’s like a million of them... and then people have the nerve to ask how many stars are actually out there? There's way more than all the grains of sand on every beach in the world, I guess.

So, once you actually realize that space is measured in dimensions we can't even wrap our heads around—with forces that are just insane and timeframes that are massive—do you honestly think some random being on a rock circling one of those stars actually matters? I guess not. Maybe.

If that's even true, then we’re barely scratching the surface of what it means to actually exist. I guess we just peeled ourselves off that rock like some ant trying to climb the first step of a skyscraper in Chicago. Maybe.

A Gamma Burst from some neutron star billions of miles away could just wipe Earth out. We wouldn't even know what hit us. Or there's just thousands of other cosmic things happening that have nothing to do with us or anything we do. I guess we're just a lucky accident, basically just beings starting to realize what's going on around us. But who's to say we aren't just here so some higher being can mess up the planet enough that cockroaches are the only ones left to rule the universe? They're definitely way better equipped for the hostile environment out there once we leave the clouds and head into space where our tiny, primitive vision can actually track stuff.

And finally, I guess it's always good to get that sense of how tiny you actually are compared to the universe when you look up. What would that even look like from a distance, I guess... like, say, from Saturn's orbit?So, based on what Carl Sagan used to say, I guess my take is that we’re basically just tasked with creating more people. Maybe in that endless cycle of reproduction, we eventually stumble upon one person who actually matters on a cosmic scale. Or whatever.
Life on Earth is cool just because it's one of a kind. That's basically it, I guess.

The end of the world is coming for sure, but nobody knows when, where, or why. Not really. But if we make it through this one specific thing that everything on Earth depends on, the apocalypse will happen whenever the sun finally runs out of fuel. As far as I know, that's the only date backed by actual science.

If you claim to be "deaf," how is it that you still feel your own vibrations through your body and nerves, yet you perceive them as something external?

What does the Mayan calendar have to do with any of this? ☕

I honestly have no clue why this thread ended up in the health section either... though I suppose the moderators are clearly more enlightened than the rest of us combined..
bluewalker33—since you’ve been living under a rock lately, let me fill you in: my cousin is deaf-mute, and just like that, he possesses some other sense that's dialed way up to eleven...
for instance, a car could be barreling down the street, and even if he can't hear a thing, he’ll feel the vibration of its approach from half a mile away without even glancing in its direction...

The Earth is constantly in motion, vibrating beneath our feet, so it's perfectly logical that you’d have some heightened sensory perception...it’s really nothing to get worked up about....

I suggest you take a closer look at what your neighbors are up to, as well as any recent changes occurring in the immediate vicinity of your building. Personally, I have no reason to doubt you; it is entirely possible you aren't imagining things. Much like yourself, I am quite sensitive to mechanical vibrations in the environment (though I am certainly not hard of hearing—quite the opposite, I possess an exceptional sense of hearing). Since you live on the 10th floor, resonant amplification of vibrations from sources on lower floors, or even from the surrounding area, is a distinct possibility. Natural micro-earthquakes are the last thing I would look toward for an explanation here. Yes, the moderator(s) made mistakes, but they are merely human beings.😉
