If you're reading this, you have too much time on your hands.
Retired math teacher Jerry Hurley of Albany believes the seismic rumbling isn't over beneath the bulge swelling the land at the South Sister volcano in the Central Oregon Cascades.
How does he know? His headaches tell him so -- and after 21 years charting the links between those headaches and earthquakes near and far, he's used to the snickers, chuckles or outright guffaws, but is quite serious about his tie to the Earth rumbling beneath our feet.
Apparently he's been getting these headaches for 20 years. The comments on the article are entertaining, and I'm with the comments: the guy sounds a bit loopy.
Barb Ramsey said on 12/25/04 @ 10:11 PM: My headache history is over 40 years....I'm just now this year linking them to earthquakes. Latest was this week, nasty headache for 24 hrs, saw news tonight about Asian earthquake 8.5. I'd told co-worker on Wednesday "we're going to see a big quake within 72 hours or so". I need help in minimizing my symptoms and awful pain, also wish to participate in study or send notice of headaches which are predictors. I don;t have any idea where the quakes will be but intensity is noticeable.
Any comments or help greatly appreciated.

how to get rid of them?.... or how to pray through the pain for people.?..... i would like to know. all i can think of at the time of pain is ooohhh i want this to end, then when the quake happens a week later i feel ssoooo good.
