The controversial Dutch seismologist's predictions came true after 3 days.. What happened?
The Dutch seismologist, Frank Hoogerbietz, is still trying to warn the world about the danger of devastating earthquakes, which could destroy an entire city, especially due to the changes taking place in the region, as he recently warned of the possibility of earthquakes and earthquakes, which may reach 7 degrees, which He sparked widespread controversy over his predictions.
Dutch seismologist's forecast came true after 3 days
During the past hours, the prophecy of the Dutch seismologist came true, as the Chinese Earthquake Networks Center announced that a 5.6-magnitude earthquake struck the waters off Hualien County, Taiwan.
The center confirmed, according to a statement reported by the Chinese News Agency (Xinhua), that the earthquake occurred at a depth of 10 km, at the confluence of latitude 24.22 degrees north and longitude 121.89 degrees east, at exactly 3:45 pm Beijing time.

What did the Dutch earthquake scientist warn about?
On May 7, Frank Hoogerbietz, the controversial Dutch seismologist, returned with new warnings, which he wrote down via a tweet on the “X” website, indicating the possibility of a strong earthquake occurring, which could destroy an entire region, like what happened previously in the South Sandwich Islands, warning of A violent earthquake occurred again.
“Almost 3 years ago, almost the entire subduction zone in the South Sandwich Islands exploded with a Mw 7.7 and Mw 8.0 earthquake in one day after the close proximity of five planetary conjunctions including Mercury and Venus,” Hogerbyets tweeted. “Today we see signs of escalating tensions.” In the region again, which easily produces a tremor measuring 7 on the Richter scale every two years.
The seismologist predicted that an earthquake with a magnitude of 7 would occur within days.
Taiwan wakes up today to a series of violent earthquakes
Today, Friday, a 5.8-magnitude earthquake struck the area off the eastern coast of Taiwan.
According to Reuters, the earthquake shook buildings in the capital, Taipei.
The weather service said the depth of the quake was 10 km (6.2 miles).
According to media reports, three earthquakes, ranging in magnitude from 4.1 to 5.1, struck the coast of Hualien County in eastern Taiwan, five minutes apart, on Friday morning, according to the Central Meteorological Administration.
Data from the Meteorological Department showed that the first of the three earthquakes, with a magnitude of 5.1, occurred at 9:35 in the morning.
The epicenter of the earthquake was at sea, 31.2 kilometers south of the local government headquarters of Hualien County, at a depth of ten kilometers, according to Taiwan's Central News Agency (CNA) on Friday.
The earthquake intensity, which measures the actual impact of a seismic event, was highest in Hualien County, where it reached four on Taiwan's seven-level seismic intensity scale.
The second earthquake, with a magnitude of 5.0, occurred at 9:37 a.m., and its epicenter occurred in the sea, 15.2 kilometers south of the local government headquarters in Hualien County, at a depth of ten kilometers.
The third earthquake, with a magnitude of 4.1, occurred at 9:40 am. Its center was also located in the sea, 14.7 kilometers south of the local government headquarters, at a depth of 4.2 kilometers.
There were no immediate reports of damage or injuries.
This comes weeks after a 7.2-magnitude earthquake struck Taiwan on April 3, killing 17 people and injuring more than 1,155 others.
Taiwan is exposed to earthquakes, due to its location in the “Ring of Fire” region, which witnesses intense seismic activity extending across Southeast Asia and the Pacific Basin.
