North India was shaken on Tuesday after a 6.6 quake struck northern Afghanistan. The tremor of 6.6 magnitude was felt in Turkmenistan, India, Kazakhstan, Pakistan, Tajikistan, Uzbekistan, China, Afghanistan, and Kyrgyzstan. Going by people's experience, as soon as things started to shake, they rushed towards an open ground outside their houses. Earthquakes have been sending chills around the world ever since it has devastated Turkey to its core. However, what is worth noting is that the earthquake that jolted India and its sub-continent was actually predicted by a Dutch Researcher named Frank Hoogerbeets. Frank Hoogerbeets was the researcher who had predicted that Turkey will face a massive quake months before the country faced the deadly natural disaster. Interestingly, after the Turkey earthquake he had predicted something similar for India and its subcontinent. Below is what Frank Hoogerbeets had said about India and its sub-continent-
The Dutch Researched in the video can be heard saying, "these areas could be next candidate for larger seismic activity if we look at the atmospheric fluctuations but again keep in mind that these are rough estimates and not all large earthquakes leave a footprint in the atmosphere they do not always announce themselves”. He claims that these projections are tentative because not all significant earthquakes can be detected by atmospheric fluctuations. It is pertinent to mention here that people and scientists did not take the warning or prediction seriously when he made it.

Frank's prediction on Turkey Earthquake
For the unversed, three days prior to the earthquake on February 3, 2023, Dutch researcher Frank Hoogerbeets, who works for the Netherlands-based Solar System Geometry Survey (SSGS), reportedly made a prediction about it. Dutch expert Frank Hoogerbeets wrote in his tweet, “Sooner or later there will be a ~M 7.5 earthquake in this region (South-Central Turkey, Jordan, Syria, Lebanon).”

Earthquake in India, Pakistan and Afghanistan
At least 13 people have been killed and hundreds injured after a magnitude 6.5 earthquake hit areas across Afghanistan and Pakistan, with tremors felt as far as the Indian capital New Delhi. In northwest Pakistan, at least nine people were killed and 44 injured, a government official said on Wednesday. Hospitals in northern Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province were put into a state of emergency overnight. In Afghanistan, at least four people were killed and 50 wounded, a health ministry official told a prominent newswire. The earthquake’s epicentre was 40km (25 miles) southeast of the Afghan town of Jurm, near the borders with Pakistan and Tajikistan, the United States Geological Survey (USGS) said on Tuesday.
