Leading up to something else, I wonder?
I've had the strangest thing going on since the initial Baja quake. Every once in a while, I'll feel dizzy and like things are just slightly moving--like being on a boat (exactly how I felt when the Baja quake hit). It only lasts for about 5-15 seconds. I'll be so sure that I've felt a quake that I check hanging objects to see if they're swaying and then check the EQ map to confirm. But there haven't been any quakes (since the main Baja quake) close enough to feel. It's not that I'm freaked out by quakes--I've lived in CA a long time, so I'm used to them. This "motion sensation" comes when I'm busy doing something (either on the computer or elsewhere) and instantly grabs my attention.
