Hi All,

No one was hanging out in the shout box when I was writing about this so I started a thread about it.

We were all awakened this morning at 4:30 am to the jolt of an earthquake shaking our house. My son was afraid it might come down. I was awake long enough to ask my husband if he thought that was an earthquake and he said yes and we both went back to sleep. Another friend asked if I felt the aftershock at 10:30 this morning and I hadn't... but then again I was out walking.

It was the 1st time I'd experienced it in this life at least, as I supposedly lived in San Fran in 1900 or was it 1901 during the big one. It happened today in Illinois and we live in Kentucky which is a state SE of Illinois, but touches it (Kentucky is surrounded by something like 7 states). I think they said it was a 5.1 or 2.

I was just wondering if anyone else here felt it and if so, please share your experience.

An update...

We've had several aftershocks now, and I've heard that the date 4/18 was the same as the Great San Francisco earthquake & Fire of 1906. It happened at 5:12 am. The one we experienced happened at around 4:30. Pretty wild stuff, huh? This has encouraged me to look into the Great quake of 1906. It was the 1st natural disaster caught on film. I'm wondering if I will resonate with them being that I was supposedly there.

There is also a new book out that I may look into called "The Great San Francisco Earthquake and Fire, 1906" by Eric Saul and Don Denevi.

Get back with you all later on this.


Hey Brenda,
What was your experience of the Earthquake?

Wow Kel,

That's amazing you flashed to the SF past life info, then looked it up and found out those huge "coincidences."

That's a great idea to do that reading.

Love,

I know PD, it was/is pretty wild!

There's tons of information and I found some cool interactive stuff with lots of pictures at the Bancroft Library in Berkeley. I came across this interactive map that divides San Francisco into 10 areas where you can see pictures from each area. Well... there are hundreds of pictures in some areas, so I thought this was going to be a daunting task, so I just started going down them in a row starting with 1. After the second row of sections, I thought "look by the water" and clicked on section 5. Before it even came up I thought to myself, you should have picked 5 first, it's your number (my favorite #, name #, and # for Mercury my ruling planet). The first picture that came up was called "The Old Cliff House" which really gave me a start, because the clairvoyent lady who described my house said it was a big mansion on a hill or cliff. She also told me that she saw me walking through the burning streets gathering up children who couldn't find their parents and that I later adopted 9 of them. The second picture in the series shows the house on fire in 1907, mentioning a womans name and her many adopted children... attributing the fire to the kids more or less. Now, how much of a coinsidence is that?!? Very wild!!! Now I have a name and the name of the house. Much more information to go on.

This is going to be interesting.

Below is a link to the page I'm talking about, there are 6 images of the house on this page. Image 2 with the fire is the one that mentiones the womans name (if you click on more information about the picture) and her many adopted children.

Kelly,

I missed the action - this time! In the late 80's, I was in San Diego when one happened and when I woke up, I knew what it was... Like you, in a parallel life, I was in SF during the earthquake...

Hi Dave,

on the past life syncro in SF during the earthquake. I think I remember you telling me about that, but forgot.

Well... I've run into a dead end on my search. I haven't found any record of the lady who's name is mentioned in association with the picture I found. The Cliff house fire started after workers had left for the day, it was under renovation at the time. The mention of the woman and her many adopted children must have been written on the back of the picture/postcard.

I did a lot of reading on the Cliff house and it's owners this past weekend. Very interesting and I'm sure I'd been there during that lifetime as it was a big tourist attraction, but I don't think it was where I lived in that lifetime.
