Controversial Dutch Seismologist Frank Hoogerbeets Predicts Celestial Events; Triggers Global Concerns

Dutch seismologist Frank Hoogerbeets has become a name synonymous with earthquake predictions, often connecting planetary alignments to seismic activities on Earth. Despite the geological scientific community emphasizing the unpredictability of earthquakes, Hoogerbeets remains undeterred, persistently defending his theories.

Recent forecasts by Hoogerbeets sent tremors of panic across the globe, primarily due to his successful predictions over the past few months. Notably, he foretold the devastating earthquake in Turkey that claimed over 50,000 lives last February and the Morocco quake last month, resulting in 3,000 casualties.

In a recent post on “X” (formerly known as Twitter), Hoogerbeets highlighted October 14th as the date for an annular solar eclipse. He mentioned, “On October 14th, an annular solar eclipse will occur. It’s crucial to understand that full moons, new moons, or eclipses alone don’t trigger major earthquakes. It requires critical alignments between planets.” He promised to elucidate further in an upcoming video and urged media outlets to convey his statements accurately.

On 14 October there is an annular solar eclipse. I emphasize that a Full or New Moon, or an eclipse by itself does not trigger larger earthquakes, as critical geometry between the planets is required. I will explain in the next video.

To all media outlets: STICK TO THE TRUTH!…

Rumors and speculations of a potent earthquake have been circulating, largely attributed to Hoogerbeets’ prediction. He specifically pinpointed October 1st to 3rd as critical days, with a potential margin of a day or two.

This Friday morning, the European-Mediterranean Seismological Centre reported a magnitude 6.1 earthquake hitting the Izu Islands of Japan. The quake had a depth of 10 kilometers. On Thursday morning, Japan issued a tsunami warning, expecting one-meter-high waves near the Izu peninsula on its east coast. However, the warning was lifted approximately two hours later with no reported damages.

According to the Japan Meteorological Agency, the warning was issued following an initially estimated magnitude 6.6 earthquake near Torishima Island, situated about 550 kilometers south of Tokyo in the Pacific Ocean.

In the preceding days, two earthquakes, magnitudes 6.3 and 5.3 respectively, struck northwest Nepal roughly half an hour apart, leading to tremors in the region. Subsequently, the Philippines experienced a magnitude 6.4 quake.
