A number of people lately have been posting that they feel something "off" or "wrong" lately, anywhere from just today to the past several weeks or more.

I would like to propose consideration of the idea that perhaps what you feel is not "wrong" in its essence, but just "off" compared to where things are at the moment? Or maybe just discomfort because it is something we are not used to, like a stretchy-hurt of the intuitive senses?

See for example http://community.livejournal.com/starseeds_dna/141946.html. Probably awfully New-Agey for many of your tastes (heck, even for my taste, although like an odor, your sensors get accustomed to it and you stop "smelling" it), but hang in there and get the gist.

On the other hand, I am kind of curious about the recent wildfires in Texas and unexpected (?) tornadoes in Missouri and Illinois. In any case, Very Weird weather and things are going on all over, but it feels to me more like "wobbly, out of balance at the moment" than "ew ew totally wrong" (though I could easily be wrong about that, since I am generally not the intuitive sort).

I think you are correct.

Ya know, there are enough people in any circle of friends and acquaintances who are "off" at any time that ostenbily there could be something "wrong" at any given point in time. Therefore, musings over whether something bigger is happening should probably just be placed in the "minor paranoia" bin and left to dissolve on their own. Just IMO.

In my circle it's been kind of a sudden surge of it. Nobody posting anything, then a little gaggle of it all at once. But even in the way you describe it, if there's always someone "pinging", barring the possibility that everyone is wrong, doesn't that tend to point to "something continually going on"? I don't mean some kind of single "war" or "veil drop" type event, as pops up on otherkin fora every now and again, but rather everyone now and then getting a "poke" in this general, ongoing process. Every so often you sense it, then you get desensitized to it, then it comes back.. etc. ?

As an agnostic/atheist skeptic, I gotta say that post (in the linked comm) nearly pained me while reading it.

Also, March is the time when one full-well expects tornadoes in Illinois and Missouri (speaking as a native of Illinois). Once spring comes with her thunderstorms, one starts battening down hatches and whatnot and expects at least a few tornadoes from March until Septemberish.

Also, this winter (http://www.tamu.edu/tamunews/News/stories/05/121605news-5.html) in Texas was a dry one. Dry, dead brush makes for pretty good kindling.

Re: tornadoes: OK. Never having lived in the Midwest I am not full aware of their usual weather patterns. For some reason I thought they were a feature of summer weather, like thundertorms.

Re: wildfires: well duh, like we don't get plenty of that going on in California. Our long, dry summers mean there are many parks where you can't have campfires from April or May through November, for example. It was just the timing of this particular event popping up with the tornadoes and everything that was kind of an interesting pattern.

Well, from an egocentric point of view: I've been physically very cold and exhausted all the time for the last few months. Most of Feb. I couldn't even get out of bed. On Mar. 7, I dragged myself, on foot, to a nearby hotel to regain enough strength to finish moving out like I had planned to a month ago. And then I moved, and bought a new car Mar 9-10, and had a bunch of other things finally start happening again, after getting nowhere for a month and a half.
That seems to match up with the timeline on the new-agey post linked to above, but I blame the problem on the flu, and the mold growing in my old apartment. (And not on starting to practice 'energy' work again.) (Though, I know someone else, in MA who is having the same problems as me, at the same time as me.)
