A Dutch scientist has predicted that a strong earthquake in Pakistan could hit within the next 48 hours. Frank Hoogerbeets, who works for the Netherlands-based research institute Solar System Geometry Survey (SSGEOS), said in a recent video that he is concerned about a massive surge in electric activity along the Chaman fault lines in Pakistan.

Hoogerbeets has a history of accurately predicting earthquakes, including the devastating 7.8 magnitude quake that struck Turkey and Syria in February of this year. He has also correctly predicted earthquakes in Hindu Kush, Afghanistan, and other locations.
Hoogerbeets’ prediction is based on his research into the relationship between planetary movements and seismic activity. He believes that the current alignment of the planets is creating a strong gravitational pull on the Earth’s crust, which could trigger a major earthquake in Pakistan.
The Chaman fault line is a major seismic fault that runs along the border between Pakistan and Afghanistan. It is one of the most active fault lines in the world, and it has produced several large earthquakes in the past, including a 7.5 magnitude quake in 1935 that killed over 60,000 people.
If Hoogerbeets’ prediction is correct about earthquake in Pakistan, it could have devastating consequences. The country is already home to a large number of people living in poverty, and many of its buildings are not earthquake-resistant. A major earthquake could cause widespread damage and loss of life.
Pakistani authorities have urged residents to be prepared for the possibility of an earthquake. They have also advised people to stay away from windows and other glass objects during a quake.
Here are some tips on how to stay safe during an earthquake:
- If you are indoors, drop to the ground, take cover under a sturdy table or desk, and hold on.
- If you are outdoors, move away from buildings and other structures that could collapse.
- If you are in a car, pull over to the side of the road and stop. Stay in the car until the shaking stops.
- Be prepared for aftershocks, which can occur for days or even weeks after a major earthquake.
Please stay safe.
