After the earthquake struck Turkey and Syria, premature tweets appeared in which some expected an earthquake to occur in the region. Who predicted the earthquake?
How did they know that?
Among the tweets that preceded the occurrence of the earthquake in Turkey and Syria - as stated in the "Above the Power" program (10/2/2023) - was the tweet of the Dutch earthquake researcher Frank Hugerpets, who knew that the earthquake would occur and told everyone about it in a tweet on Twitter, where He warned of the occurrence of the earthquake in Turkey and the Levant 3 days before it occurred, with great accuracy, including determining the areas and the strength of the strike on the Richter scale.
But Hugerpets did not specify the exact timing, but rather stated in a tweet that the earthquake will be "sooner or later" without specifying the timing, as science has not yet reached this feature, according to what was confirmed by Professor of Geology at Qatar University, Saif Al-Hajri, despite the large research on which huge sums of money have been spent. Humans have not been able to determine the time of the earthquake, but monitoring areas with seismic activity is possible.
Syrian media and relief activist Ammar Al-Aswad also published a month ago on the Twitter platform a tweet about an expected earthquake in the same areas in Turkey and Syria, but he did not know that this tweet was his obituary paper, as he died in the earthquake with his wife.
In the context of the statements of the researchers about the earthquake, the Turkish researcher Levent Colin said that it is not necessary that the "tsunami" will follow the earthquake that struck Turkey. years to come in the same direction.
It is noteworthy that hopes of finding more survivors under the rubble are diminishing 5 days after the catastrophe of the Turkey and Syria earthquake, which claimed more than 22,000 lives and left tens of thousands injured, and its effects extended to millions of residents in the two countries.
According to the latest official data, the death toll from the earthquake in Turkey rose to 19,388, while the number of injured reached more than 77,711.
