The Geological Service "SSGEOS" also published a map of the place where the earthquake is expected to occur.
Hoogerbeets had said in a post that sparked controversy, “There seems to be a lot of confusion and misinformation regarding my previous analysis and expectations... I will clarify that in the next update.”
The Dutch seismologist sparked a lot of controversy, especially after he predicted a major earthquake days before the Moroccan earthquake that occurred on September 8, causing thousands of deaths and injuries.

Hoogerbeets had previously warned of the possibility of devastating earthquakes, most notably the devastating earthquake that struck Turkey on February 6, which left more than 50,000 dead and tens of thousands injured. He expected this devastating earthquake to occur 3 days before, while scientists insist on the impossibility of prediction. The occurrence of earthquakes and earthquakes.
There appears to be a lot of confusion and misinformation regarding my previous analysis and forecast. I will clarify in the next update, which should be online this afternoon. https://t.co/ejnILro7vm
