Hi Everyone,

Gees...I could NOT sleep much at all last evening, 3.5 hours. I was really in a mess. I had even tried having a few glasses a wine to help...I will paste blog posts I had up on my Facebook. Also found out there was a Tsunami warning as one was generated. Below are my notes and article posts I located this early morning. Also my EARS HAVE BEEN RINGING AND THAT HAS NOT HAPPENED IN AWHILE....

Notes:

I was awakened just after 4am this morning by the shriek of an owl, Mo-pork or "mopoke" who then called his usual sound, as tho he were at the dinner table wanting another serving. Highly unusual for the owl to call in this area and both calls? I have been living here for some months now and it's the first time I have heard it. The waves are loud as....so I am like wide awake, I get my laptop turned on and find this note at my Earth sensitive forum. Not only that...in this report I read that its highly unusual for quakes like this so close together says seismologist. Read more below short message from owl.

Here is a note about owl spirit message: If the owl is calling you, or you are aware of the owl being present in your life, dreaming or waking:

(The Owl is the bringer of wisdom. The all-seeing owl possesses supernatural qualities and is often associated with intuition, clairvoyance and clairaudience. The Owl's energy is at its peak in the very heart of darkness. When we are plunged into blindness and disorientation. He penetrates the darkness of the blackest night. Seeing and hearing that which others cannot.Tap into the power of the Owl by calling on your own intuition, listen to your own wisdom for there is something you need to see or hear. As the owl is so strongly associated with the night time, his wisdom may come to you while you slumber. So take the time to be aware of your dreams or make a special effort to remember and write down any important dreams you have. The Owl is a messenger that can bring clarity and illumination.)

Third quake rocks Melbourne
AM - Thursday, 19 March , 2009 08:12:00
Reporter: Alison Caldwell

TONY EASTLEY: Melbournians got another shaking last night as an earthquake measuring 4.6 on the Richter scale moved under the city and surrounds. It was felt up to 200 kilometres away.

It was the third earthquake to hit the state this year. The first was in January and the second one, only 12 days ago, had its epicentre in the same place as this latest one.

AM's Alison Caldwell reports.

ALISON CALDWELL: The earthquake's epicentre was near the town of Korumburra in Gippsland, 100 kilometres south-east of Melbourne late yesterday. It hit in exactly the same place as the one that happened just 12 days ago.

Several aftershocks were also felt by those living near the quake's epicentre.

VOX POP 1: Bang! It was there. It was like an explosion. And this one was very, stronger than the other ones that we've had.

VOX POP 2: Photographs hanging around the place, they all fell over.

VOX POP 3: Then there was a giant crack and every window in the house vibrated for about five or six seconds. It felt like the whole house was shaking, the whole floorboards were moving from side to side.

ALISON CALDWELL: The tremor was felt has far away as towns west of Melbourne.

Steve Tatham is a seismologist with Geoscience Australia.

STEVE TATHAM: Some up to 200 kilometres away on the western side of Melbourne. It was a local magnitude of 4.6 and our preliminary depth assessments have it at 18 kilometres.

ALISON CALDWELL: The last one was about 10 kilometres.

STEVE TATHAM: About eight kilometres yes. It (inaudible) that this area of Gippsland is not far away from an area of somewhat elevated seismic risk for Australia.

ALISON CALDWELL: The earthquake also shook office buildings in inner-city Melbourne.

LEN HARTNETT: What was that? What happened?

ALISON CALDWELL: Barrister Len Hartnett got the shakes as he was working at his desk on the third floor of his building in Bourke Street.

LEN HARTNETT: And suddenly the chair started to shake. It didn't take very long but it was noticeable, it was inexplicable and it was slightly alarming.

ALISON CALDWELL: Twelve kilometres north-east in Heidelberg, cancer researcher Dr Craig Gedye (*see editor's note) was in his office at the Austin Hospital.

CRAIG GEDYE: And just started to feel a shaking. It went on a for a few seconds but then there was one good long thump that sent a bit of the furniture creaking and that was about it.

ALISON CALDWELL: Ever felt anything like that before?

CRAIG GEDYE: Yeah, I'm originally from New Zealand so we used to get a few of them in the shaky isles but it's a bit unusual to feel two of them in Melbourne in just such a short period of time.

ALISON CALDWELL: Seismologist Steve Tatham says it's unusual for earthquakes to happen as often as that.

STEVE TATHAM: The obvious magnitude once every few decades.

ALISON CALDWELL: What about one after another?

STEVE TATHAM: That's certainly creating a lot of interest for our researchers here in that we have a small swarm of earthquakes occurring, suggesting that one single movement hasn't been significant to allow the stresses to settle.

ALISON CALDWELL: Does that mean we should expect more?

STEVE TATHAM: Well I would expect that we probably could feel some more.

TONY EASTLEY: Seismologist Steve Tatham from Geoscience Australia ending Alison Caldwell's report.

Undersea volcano erupts off Tonga coast
Tue Mar 17, 10:52 pm ET

NUKU'ALOFA, Tonga - An undersea volcano erupted off the coast of Tonga shooting clouds of smoke, steam and ash thousands of feet (meters) into the sky above the South Pacific ocean, officials said Wednesday.

Spectacular columns spewed out of the sea about 6 miles (10 kilometers) from the southwest coast off the main island of Tongatapu - an area where up to 36 undersea volcanoes are clustered, said Tonga's geological service head, Keleti Mafi.

"It's a very significant eruption, on quite a large scale," he told The Associated Press.

There was no sign the offshore eruption posed any danger to residents, he said, with trade winds blowing gas and steam away from the island.

Residents said the steam and ash column first appeared on Monday morning, after a series of sharp earthquakes were felt in the capital, Nuku'alofa.

"This is not unusual for this area and we expect this to happen here at any time," Mafi said, adding that a similar eruption took place there in 2002.

A Defense Force boat was expected to travel to the region soon to check the area.

It was likely the underwater eruption was taking place to the west of the low-lying twin volcanic islands of Hunga Tonga and Hunga Ha'apai, within sight of Nuku'alofa.

Large amounts of pumice thrown up by the erupting volcano would likely clog beaches on the southern coast of nearby Fiji islands within a short time, he said.

Tonga, a 170-island archipelago about halfway between Australia and Tahiti, is part of the Pacific "ring of fire" - an arc of earthquake and volcanic zones stretching from Chile in South America through Alaska and down through Vanuatu to Tonga.

Last but not least... Another article:

Underwater volcano erupts off Tonga
An undersea volcano has erupted near the Tongan capital Nuku'alofa, creating a cloud of smoke that stretches for hundreds of meters.

The eruption has not caused any apparent danger to the residents of Nuku'alofa or those living on the main island of Tongatapu, AFP reported on Wednesday citing comments by Tonga's head geologist, Kelepi Mafi.

According to Mafi, the first signs of the eruption first appeared on Monday around 10 to 12 kilometers off the Tongatapu coast, but Nuku'alofa residents saw the first plumes of smoke two days later.

Officials say the eruption may have been caused by an earthquake with a magnitude of 4.4 which struck last Friday around 35 kilometers from the capital at a depth of nearly 150 kilometres.

In 2002, a similar eruption that occurred in the same area off the western end of Tongatapu created in an island of lava which remained there for several weeks.

"This eruption is bigger than in 2002, it seems there are two vents coming out, but that is yet to be confirmed," Mafi said.

Geologists will travel by boat to the area tomorrow morning to try to find out more about the event, he said.

Tonga, a country which is made up of about 170 small islands around 2,000 kilometers northeast of New Zealand, sits on the Pacific 'Ring of Fire', an area of frequent volcanic activity.

I am feeling some relief compared to the previous week, yet yesterday...and the day prior....the energy was really like intense weird...we almost got in an accident on the road and had to swerve Way INTO a Ditch with our 4X4...Like I was sideways....luckily we were not hit by a huge truck...Later on when returning home, the truck was coming back the other way, and I sensed it and told Max to slow way down, there it was again... in just a minute...and thankfully we had plenty of space to move over to the side this time.

Then I spoke to a friend in Oz, who injured herself and had to go to the ER in that same time frame.

Check out this video series : It is very interesting and informative.

Documentary about how giant tsunamis are caused by landslides with tree line evidence telling scientists that there looks to have been a major Tsunami wave which was 10 times higher than those currently recorded to be on average approx. 10-15 meters. (Discovery Channel).

Thanks for the email check-in Diane.

Here I am again, as with the first post, my husband who seldom goes to the city without me, has gone away for a couple of days and I am thinking, no big quake activity God whilst he is away, okay? This morning I am like feeling stuff but ignoring it. However; I am relieved Diane that I saw your email because it brings me here to deal with what is coming up for me so I can not resist it. Thanks.

I am feeling quite intense tonite...After working in session with a client, I felt really sensitive to the environment, and had to shut down the reception some notches. Iris was very jumpy earlier today and at times off/on over past couple of days. I am feeling pain in my lower back, tightness in chest and like I want some reprieve from the tension NOW. I see there was a quake 6.3 near coast of New Guinea, feels like a valve release thing, yet I feel more to come tonight.

My body says building of pressure, to release very very soon....it feels connected with Indonesia. Could be a potential for JAKARTA to rock again...at level 7.0 plus.....could it be Sulawesi Island plates again? Will check back in soon.

Indonesia Quakes....on the day. Body feels better now today!
