  1. no one can predict when and where an earthquake will happen.


  2. Close observation will help rather than prediction.I am the one issued the warning 2 hours before Tsunami struck our coast and in number of other occasions I issued denial report on the warnings issued by meteorological department.All were possible because of my close observation of situation. Not possible to predict. However read this .

    Methods for prediction of earthquakes & Tsunami

    Even though it is difficult to predict, the following methods may help.

    .

    1. Seismic gape: - The earthquake at a particular place may occur for every fixed gape of time. By knowing the past records of the quakes affected at that place may help to decide when the earthquake is next due.

    2. Planet position.: - When the stress is accumulated at the tectonic plate boundary and the same time if the position of more than 2 planets comes in a straight line this may help to accelerate the earthquakes. There fore the full moon days and new moon days are more vulnerable days for earthquakes. Some time this method fails why? Think of a sick patient. New moon and full moon days are dangerous for only sick patents. These days will not affect the healthy people. The same way if there is no accumulated stress at the tectonic plate boundaries no need to worry about the planet positions.

    3. Sun rays falling method: - If you observe the position of the sun rays falling on our wall at a particular time on all days it should form an angular infinity symbol. If there is any deviation in its path it means that there is some difference in height of the earth. That means some strain noticed at that place. Somebody claims that they can predict the place of epicenter by observing this. The laser beam measuring method of earth height from satellite also will help.

    4. MDCB:- Chinese scientist claims that they can predict up to 60 % accuracy by sensing electro magnetic rays.

    5. Cloud forming: - Few hours to a few days before the occurrence of earthquakes a cloud reader claims that he has noticed a peculiar mosaic type of formation .We may also notice some lightening in the sky.

    6. By sound :- A professor from Ajmeer University claims that he was able to hear a low frequency noise under 125 meter depth in a bore well. The same thing was reported by one Mr. Nair that he heard some roaring noise under the earth one week before the occurrence of earthquake in Gujarat.

    7. By frequency of waves :-  Mr Richter Allen of Berkley University claims that he can decide the magnitude of earthquake just  4 seconds after observing the frequency of the primary wave. Present method needs the full seismographic picture to find the real magnitude that too from as many places as possible to have fairly accurate results. His claim has got some truth because when there is a slip of bigger tectonic plate the frequency of quake will be less. If a small tectonic plate slips the frequency of the waves will be more.

    8. There are several changes in nature and in the behaviors of animals and birds can be observed before an earthquake and Tsunami. The water level in well may change. Stay away from beaches if you sense earthquake waves. The Tsunami may attack long after the shaking is stopped. I wrote several articles on these subjects.  

    9. Have one simple earthquake alarm installed in your house.

  3. It is definitely an undeniable fact though I don't live back there that there is no way to predict an earth quake in this. Besides, Brazillians? pffft. theyre just c**p dude he just wants fame. PhilVolcs even denies it. But its always good to be prepared for the worst. Good luck to everyone there.

  4. Based on what I have heard, they have already caught the person who spread the rumor. There's no way to predict earthquakes; but still, you should always be prepared and alert.

  5. don't believe everything you hear! there is no way of exactly predicting earthquakes, and the phillipines is a fair distance away from any significant faults. but you'll have to wait and see...

  6. My mum is from the philippines and she also told bout this earthquake...we´ll see...

  7. first, i  watched it from the tv news and was informed that a Brazilian man predicted the earthquake. This man has predicted things in the past, but i also got info that this man is a fake. so pag-asa i think or the one who handles earthquake situation said that this things couldn't be predicted at all. it could happen anytime. and guess what i have this friend who had involuntary premonitions that she keeps on seeing/thinking about the earthquake. and she asked me to pray for it that it wouldn't happen. What Filipinos can do right now is just to keep their faith in God. May all be safe in your country.

  8. There is no scientifically-proven way of predicting earthquakes to date. I believe this prediction came from "supernatural" means instead of scientific means. Someone was playing Nostradamus.
