For months, the controversial Dutch figure Frank Hoogerbeets has been captivating followers of global earthquake news with his predictions and theories related to planetary movements. It seems that once again, his forecasts have proven correct, as at least 10 tremors struck Taiwan in the early hours of Saturday morning local time, the strongest of which measured 6.1 on the Richter scale, according to the Central Weather Bureau. This was anticipated and warned about by Hoogerbeets in a tweet he posted yesterday on "X."
The strongest earthquake, measuring 6.1, occurred at 2:21 AM on Friday/Saturday (18:21 GMT) offshore, striking at a depth of 24.9 kilometers. This was followed by multiple lighter aftershocks before another strong earthquake hit at 2:49 AM (18:49 GMT) in the continental part of the island, approximately 40 kilometers from Hualien on the eastern coast, at a depth of 18.9 kilometers. After midnight on Friday/Saturday, 10 tremors of varying magnitudes were recorded on the island, according to the Central Weather Bureau.
In his latest warning, Hoogerbeets had tweeted yesterday on "X" about new planetary alignments and movements that might lead to seismic activity in Taiwan and its vicinity over the next two days. He added that these indicators suggest a possibility of a strong tremor on April 27/28.
Obvious clustering of stronger tremors (M ≥ 5.6) occurred with the planetary geometry (purple/red peaks) in the forecast period. The high lunar peak (green) yesterday can result in a strong shake 27/28 April. A new video will be posted later today. https://t.co/6D1Np6Nr12— Frank Hoogerbeets (@hogrbe) April 26, 2024
It is noted that all scientists reject the theories of the controversial Dutchman, deeming them unscientific and asserting that there is no correlation between planets and earthquake activity on Earth, considering such a link an impossibility. Modern science has successfully predicted weather conditions accurately and has developed mathematical equations that make it possible to predict astronomical events such as eclipses. However, according to scientists and experts, there remains no method to predict earthquakes, neither through planetary movements nor any other means, warning against individuals posing as experts who instill fear and anxiety among people for fame or internet engagement.
