(MENAFN) Dutch seismologist Frank Hogerbeets has recently ignited widespread anxiety and confusion with his stark warnings of a devastating earthquake that could result in thousands of casualties. His predictions are rooted in observed regional changes, particularly focusing on the Mediterranean, where he foresees a potential catastrophic event. These warnings have caused significant public concern, as people brace for what could be a major natural disaster.
On Sunday, the Greek island of Crete experienced an earthquake with a magnitude of 5.2 on the Richter scale. This incident corresponds with Hogerbeets' earlier warnings regarding the seismic dangers in this area. He has emphasized that the Eastern Mediterranean basin is especially susceptible to significant seismic activity, raising the alarm for potential future events.
Hogerbeets took to his Facebook account to express his concerns, stating, "this area is capable of producing large seismic activity." He cited historical evidence, referring to an 8.6 magnitude earthquake in 365 AD that caused a tsunami, affecting the entire eastern basin of the Mediterranean Sea. This historical reference highlights the possible scale of seismic disturbances that could occur in the region.
Known for his phrase "Be on standby, in anticipation of the emergency," Hogerbeets has been consistently posting this cautionary message on the platform X (formerly Twitter) since the devastating earthquake in Turkey and Syria. This phrase serves to keep the public alert to the possibility of recurring natural disasters.
Hogerbeets claims to have developed a unique method for predicting earthquakes, which involves monitoring "the conjunction of the sun and the moon with the planets." He believes that observing these celestial alignments enables him to forecast potential seismic activity in specific areas. His unconventional approach has garnered significant attention, eliciting mixed reactions from both the scientific community and the general public.
