Frank Hoogerbeets, a Dutch researcher who previously predicted the earthquakes that hit Turkey and Syria earlier this year, recently tweeted about the possibility of an earthquake originating near Pakistan. According to a report by India Today News World, Hoogerbeets said that atmospheric fluctuations were reported in parts of and near Pakistan, which he claimed was an “indicator of an upcoming stronger tremor.”
However, it is important to note that many experts in the field of seismology consider Hoogerbeets a “pseudoscientist,” saying he promotes a false view of how earthquakes are predicted.
