Curious: In Dominican Rep a week ago snorkeling-water was unusually rough
according to the young man who took us out into the ocean. Could this have been an early sign of the coming earthquake or was it just a coincidence?

1. A simple weather front can cause that, or even a storm many miles away from you.
I snorkel and dive, and I have often had my plans changed by rough water due to weather.

2. A friend of mine told me that when Alaska had a big quake a few years back,
the water in her pool was sloshing, although we felt nothing and nothing registered here (Seattle). Water seems to be a good indicator that something's going on. So maybe there were really mild quakes happening at that time in the area?

3. No, no. That's not a sign of an earthquake.
It means Zeus asked Poseidon to unleash the Kraken.

Edward Cayce told me.

4. I was in Grand Cayman then. It was the cold front coming down from the US.

5. Thanks for the explanation. It never occurred to me to wonder about it until
a friend questioned the possibility this morning.
