 From about the 9th of October until yesterday, I was getting very 
strong peaks in the frequency range of .177Hz or period of 6 seconds 
here in southern Indiana. Today that peak as disappeared and a lesser 
peak exists at about .142 Hz or period of approximately 7 seconds.  It 
was so strong that I gave up posting earthquakes to the network because 
they just weren't clear without strong filtering. I, too, looked for a 
reason; Great Lakes, Gulf of Mexico and both the east and west coast. I 
could find no real association. I had NO local winds and no serious 
temperature changes.
