Murray says: "I suppose if you take the viewpoint that all disasters have their origins hours, days, weeks or months before their actual happening, then there is no discussion possible, as there is no actual forecasting of the future involved. What is being sensed is the emanation of contemporaneous phenomena." There ya go, that's what I took up so much bandwidth trying to say! (I've gotta learn to be more concise!)

True, disasters can be thwarted... and perhaps it's also at those times that "those feelings" are brushed off as not meaning anything.

Murray and Wolfgang make a good point, though, that indigestion or random dreams might also be falsely interpreted as meaning something, as being connected with an event. Thanks, too, to Wolfgang for the clarification of terminology!
