U.S. scientists warned in 2008 that Port-au-Prince was ripe for an earthquake, but they didn't know it would strike less than two years later. Ben Tracy reports on this code of earthquake predictions
Still remember Professor McCloskey's warning on Sumatra?
Please visit my blog dated Tuesday, January 19, 2010; with the title "Haiti Is Not The End: Other Earthquakes Are Just Round The Corner – Ulster Expert". This is the prediction by the Ulster expert, he was the one who predicted the Tsunami disaster in Sumatra earlier in 2004.
Professor John McCloskey of the University of Ulster, who is the lead author of the study and an internationally respected authority on Sumatran earthquakes, has issued the following appeal to the international community.
He calls on governments and non-governmental organisations to take preparatory urgent action that will save lives in the next earthquake disaster rather than waiting until after it strikes. He says: "We can't continue to refuse to accept the inevitable; earthquakes happen, they kill people, they will kill more and more people if we don't organise ourselves properly. We must start now."
Professor McCloskey and his group rapidly analysed the M9.2 earthquake that triggered the Indian Ocean 2004 Boxing Day tsunami and alerted the world to the threat of another large quake in the Sumatra region of the Indian Ocean 10 days before it struck. He is head of the Geophysics Research Group at Ulster's Environmental Sciences Research Institute.
He is not the fortune teller or end time prophet; he is a geophysicist, with experience and backed with fact and figure...he may not able to predict God's act , when it will come, but there is a possibility....
Always, Be prepared....
