I was aware of previous reports of "The Hum" but this particular one

the amalgamated noise of distant combines. *I had certainly heard it

In reality, the article by Paul Simons is about a non-event. *I simply
want to put the record straight as I see (hear) things.

Not only the buzz of Combine harvesters operating but the grain drying
equipment which is running non stop on many farms (and maybe moreso
overnight to use cheaper energy?)

Spells like last week's have a lot of channeled acoustic noise
aircraft can be heard frequently in this weather some 40 minutes south
of Manchester airport and the M6 sounds like a motorway.

The reason for the exceptionlal noise in these spells as opposed to
most inversions is that the Lows are sustained and in fact tend to
gather just off the west coat of Britain.

At the end of that spell it took a Low from the sout, one from
Newfoundland and at the very end fragged part of the Greenland one
into it as well.

I have an idea that there is a relationship with the noises highs and
lows produce which when channeled can have an effect similar to, if
not the exact phenomenon as, coupling the sound waves.

I rather think that this running together of wave trains from
different air masses can produce seismic events some 80 degree distant
to the cyclones and/or anticyclones.

I am certain there is a relationship with that sort of weather
phenomenon off the Carolinas and seismic events in the Aleutians.

Britain seems to link to Japan. It's about the same distance from
Britain to Sucre in Chile as it is to the Ryukyu Islands, Japan; not
that far from he

Dawlish will be pleased to note the obvious I am sure. Pity.

Odd; the website was showing a couple of large quakes, one from the
above link and the other from that region of Japan.

I update it regularly, 2 or 3 time a day. Often more if I am expecting
something interesting. But the web page was dated August 8th.

Doubly strange in that I had updated Opera yesterday so any history
from the browser should only go back a few hours.

I wonder where the old web page came from. You can't do the same thing
with such pages in my experience if you try.

Backspacing a weather chart will not get you yesterday's chart, no
matter how much you would like to make a comparison.

I just tried to back space it and there is no page to back space it
to. The same goes for all the other NEIC sites I have open tabs on.

Well whatever the cause for the ghost in the machine, it was a good
head's up.

August the 8th:
Aug 8 20:20 the beginning of that spell with the sound channeling.
