Scientist Predicts Strong Earthquake in Pakistan

A Dutch scientist has predicted that a strong earthquake will hit Pakistan within the next 48 hours. Frank Hoogerbeets, who works for the Netherlands-based Solar System Geometry Survey (SSGEOS), said in a tweet on October 1 that the quake is expected to strike near the Chaman fault line, which runs along the border between Pakistan and Afghanistan.

Hoogerbeets has a mixed record of predicting earthquakes, but he did accurately predict a major quake in Turkey earlier this year. He uses a combination of planetary alignment and seismic activity to make his predictions.

The Chaman fault line is a major seismic zone, and Pakistan has a history of large earthquakes. In 2005, a 7.6-magnitude earthquake struck Kashmir, killing over 70,000 people.

Here are some tips on how to prepare for an earthquake:

  • Have a plan. Know what to do if an earthquake strikes while you are at home, at work, or in a public place.
  • Secure your home. Make sure that heavy objects are securely fastened to walls or shelves.
  • Have an emergency kit. This should include food, water, first aid supplies, and a flashlight.
  • Practice your earthquake drill. This will help you to know what to do in the event of an earthquake, and it will also help to calm your nerves.

If you are in an earthquake, remember to:

  • Drop. Drop to the ground and get under a sturdy table or desk.
  • Cover. Cover your head and neck with your arms or a pillow.
  • Hold on. Hold on to the table or desk until the shaking stops.

If you are outdoors, find an open area away from buildings, trees, and power lines. Drop to the ground and cover your head and neck.

Most importantly Pray for ALLAH Mercy!!
