Frank Hoogerbeets – a seismologist who accurately predicted the earthquake disaster in Turkey – forecasts that a similarly strong earthquake will occur this weekend along the West Coast of the United States.
“We cannot be certain, but the first week of March will be extremely important. We could witness earthquakes stronger than 7 or 8 magnitude“, the researcher stated in a recent analysis video.

The Dutch seismologist explains that the convergence of tectonic plates could lead to significant seismic activity around March 3-4.
According to the researcher working at the Solar System Geometry Survey (SSGEOS), the movement of tectonic plates could also result in a massive earthquake this weekend, with the potential strength reaching up to 8 magnitude.
Hoogerbeets points out that the West Coast of the United States is the area first at risk. Regions in northern Japan, the Philippines, Indonesia, and the Kamchatka and Kuril Islands of Russia are also considered to be at risk.
On February 3, seismologist Frank Hoogerbeets posted a warning on social media Twitter about a potential earthquake of 7.5 magnitude or greater occurring in Turkey and Syria.
Three days later, his prediction came true, and this century’s earthquake disaster caused immense damage to the two countries.
The strong earthquakes on February 6 resulted in the loss of over 50,000 lives, and the death toll is expected to continue to rise as many bodies remain trapped in the rubble yet to be recovered.
