I can confirm the smell for sure. I live just a few miles out from the Salton Sea and it smells up really bad about once or twice a year. Damn near revolting. Anyway, could this smell be related as a sensory precursor to seismic activity? That's a really good question. I never really gave it any thought. It sounds illogical, but given how things have been going as of late I wouldn't put it past me.

The mysterious boom sounds have been going one all over CONUS and now California is getting it. Fascinating and disturbing at the same time. Has anyone ever bothered to consider the possibility that what is happening may not be an artificially generated noise, but something either a.) Otherworldy? or b.) Celestial? (not to be confused w/Religion/Spirituality), but more synonymous with a celestial body in our solar system. Increasing seismic, volcanic, and unusual storm activity. This is just a thought. Stay frosty GLPers.
