Hey is the 8 intensity earthquake thingy true?

Question

plz help im in teh philippines

Answer 1

Never heard of it.  Probably just one of those scary rumours.  Strong earthquakes do happen from time to time as you know, but it is very difficult to predict them, and I have certainly not heard of anything of that magnitude you mention being anticipated.

Answer 2

Nope!  That rumor has been circulating via email for a few weeks.

No seismologist could predict an earthquake with that degree of precision.
