A POWERFUL earthquake could strike the planet by FRIDAY because of planetary alignments, a self-styled tremor forecaster has warned.
New age earthquake researcher Frank Hoogerbeets warned a major magnitude 7 quake could strike within two days.

His latest video warning, also available on YouTube, said we entered a "critical period" on Monday this week, which will continue until Friday.
He told Express.co.uk: "From August 28 to September 1 will be critical because of two planetary alignments, one of which is Jupiter-Mercury-Uranus.
"In July the same planets aligned and a magnitude 7.7 earthquake was triggered within three days."
Mr Hoogerbeets warned up until September 1 there would be a seismic increase and there was a risk of a magnitude 7 quake - considered a major event.
He said the "seismic increase" was "anticipated until September 1, with a strong possibility of a magnitude 7 plus earthquake."
Mr Hoogerbeets was not specific about where the quake might strike, but warned that activity had increased off the coast of north eastern Canada, which had affected the north mid Atlantic ridge and, in turn the Mediterranean.
Mr Hoogerbeets also issued a wider warning saying because there have "only been three magnitude 7 plus earthquakes in 2017," it meant more were likely towards the end of the year - like in 2004 when the world witnessed the horrific boxing day tsunami that hit south east Asia.
He said: "This is way below average. A similar situation existed in 2004 with no magnitude 7 plus earthquakes between February and July.
"But no less than 12 magnitude 7 plus earthquakes occurred in the second half of that year, including a magnitude 8.1 and 9.3 earthquake in December.

Aha,the Woman in Gold.
.
Agreed.
Thanks for the link.
They moved it to stay out of Kim’s hands.
You have to keep up....
:-)
Come on now, you cannot trust “science.” Unless it has to do with Climate Change.
Or something like that.
Paging Barney Frank! Paging Barney Frank!
Yes, I know. I was just expanding on what you said about the Moon’s known gravitational effects on the oceans. One would have to be a complete ‘lunatic’ to think distant planets would have any significant gravitational effects here on Earth, although other planets actually do effect us gravitationally. They tug slightly on the Earth and cause it to ‘wobble’ a wee bit in its orbit. The effect is known as “perturbation”.
“Perturbation, in astronomy, deviation in the motion of a celestial object caused either by the gravitational force of a passing object or by a collision with it. For example, predicting the Earth’s orbit around the Sun would be rather straightforward were it not for the slight perturbations in its orbital motion caused by the gravitational influence of the other planets.”—Encyclopædia Britannica
Sorry. Astrology isn’t research.
As for a 5.2: something like that happens literally every day.
This is the part that fascinates me about astrophysics. Everyone always thinks of the sun just sitting there and we’re rotating around it, but in fact we’re all moving relative to the Milky Way at extreme velocities... you would think that eventually the “drag” of dust would cause the planets to fall behind.... and how did they all get up to momentum together .... and why aren’t all those asteroids and Kupier belt objects falling behind....
It’s just fasicinating such a complicated creation.
Lower all the time! Lol
Planetary alignments don’t contribute a tiny, tiny, tiny amount of gravity compared to phases of the moon. Jupiter is several times further than the sun, and several hundred times less massive. Adding in Mercury or Uranus is like worrying whether a pollen grain landing on a cruise ship will sink it.
Wow, over 70 replies before an obligatory Uranus probe joke appeared.
