MEGA-DISASTER WARNING: ‘Earthquake and tsunami surge could start TOMORROW' | |
2017-02-24 | |
POWERFUL tsunami-causing tremors could strike Earth over the next fortnight from TOMORROW, because of the alignment of the planets, it has shockingly been claimed.
’Quake mystic’ Now, there's a moniker I'd like to use in an introduction. Looks good on your resume. Frank Hoogerbeets has issued an online "major earthquake warning" amid fears a "big one" is on its way. Mr Hoogerbeets, who is based in the Netherlands, uses a non-scientifically recognised way of predicting earthquakes based on planetary alignments with Earth. He wrote on his website ditrianum.org: "In the last week of February and the first week of March there will likely be a significant increase in seismic activity with the highest probability of an eight plus magnitude earthquake around March 4." Mr Hoogerbeets claims the positions of the planets and the moon have an impact on tectonic plate movement here on earth. He added: "The anticipated seismic increase starting around February 24 will contrast sharply with only a few planetary alignments from the last week of January to the third week of February." Meh...we've had a good run. | |

#10 Hmmm...scroll up to "A new culprit for climate change is found, but it’s not of this Earth" Doesn't quite match up with "however the planets exert no such pressure" I'll buy the second. No grant money was involved. |

#5 then animals start acting crazy Do Democrats count? If so it's time to head for the hills. |

#4 the moon actually does exert a tidal pull on the liquid magma below the crust, causing the crust to bulge at perigee. however the planets exert no such pressure i think the more interesting predictor of earthquakes is short term changes in the magnetosphere which then cause fish to lose their bearings. Suddenly and for no reason, thousands of fish beach themselves/ turn up dead then animals start acting crazy - the lost and found pages for dogs spikes up 5 x the normal rate that's the time to look for big earthquakes |

#3 there are actually a number of good websites for seeing the planet positions one, which uses a focus schematic is http://www.theplanetstoday.com/ |

#2 It's been quite a few years ago that all the planets were in line with earth and doom was predicted. Nothing happened. |

#1 You should worry more about the bird flu cases spiking in China. |
