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.

What!? Jupiter is lined up with Uranus!?
“5.2 is hardly “mega” anything.”
It is in Virginia.
ROTF! I loved that show!
Sounds a bit like Monty Python’s Galaxy Song from The Meaning of Life...
Then, too...The sun could explode and trhe moon could be disintegrated as it crashes into earth. (My comment has as much “scientific” basis as that of the idiot who talks of the mega-quake)
Orbit - Perturbation
The Sun’s gravitational attraction is the main force acting on each planet, but there are much weaker gravitational forces between the planets, which produce perturbations of their elliptical orbits; these make small changes in a planet’s orbital elements with time.
The planets which perturb the Earth’s orbit most are Venus, Jupiter, and Saturn. These planets and the sun also perturb the moon’s orbit around the Earth—Moon system’s center of mass.
The use of mathematical series for the orbital elements as functions of time can accurately describe perturbations of the orbits of solar system bodies for limited time intervals. For longer intervals, the series must be recalculated.
Today, astronomers use high-speed computers to figure orbits in multiple body systems such as the solar system. The computers can be programmed to make allowances for the important perturbations on all the orbits of the member bodies. Such calculations have now been made for the Sun and the major planets over time intervals of up to several tens of millions of years.
As accurately as these calculations can be made, however, the behavior of celestial bodies over long periods of time cannot always be determined.
For example, the perturbation method has so far been unable to determine the stability either of the orbits of individual bodies or of the solar system as a whole for the estimated age of the solar system.
Studies of the evolution of the Earth-Moon system indicate that the Moon’s orbit may become unstable, which will make it possible for the Moon to escape into an independent orbit around the Sun. Recent astronomers have also used the theory of chaos to explain irregular orbits.
The orbits of artificial satellites of the Earth or other bodies with atmospheres whose orbits come close to their surfaces are very complicated. The orbits of these satellites are influenced by atmospheric drag, which tends to bring the satellite down into the lower atmosphere, where it is either vaporized by atmospheric friction or falls to the planet’s surface.
In addition, the shape of Earth and many other bodies is not perfectly spherical. The bulge that forms at the equator, due to the planet’s spinning motion, causes a stronger gravitational attraction. When the satellite passes by the equator, it may be slowed enough to pull it to earth.

Geeez!! I hope no one got hurt or killed!
:)
Hoogerbeats?
Hookerboots?
Jupter is opposite Uranus and Mercury is 30 degrees away aligned with Mars.
A few years ago I could have gone along with that, but not now. My younger son, daughter-in-law and eleven month old grandson live in D.C.
To quote the well used you tube rant: “Its gravity!!!!!!!!”
If you watch the series “Tokyo Magnitude 8.0” You would know that a lot of people get hurt/killed, it is a series than can both break your spirit and raise it at the same time...

Wasn't that an animation, or cartoon?
This is serious. There is some problem with uranus.
No, it's when yeranus is aligned with the porcelain! :-:-)
very cool map. thanks!
