a shake for the rainy season

July 9, 2008

No one can predict an earthquake. That I know. Aside from detecting subtle changes in tectonic activity, I reckon there’s no existing technology that can allow us to predict the exact magnitude, date and time of a future quake.

Unless you’re a self-proclaimed psychic, apparently.

The internet has been buzzing with news of a certain Brazilian professor Juseleeno Nobulega Daroose predicting a huge earthquake to hit the country on July 18th. The psychic had claims of being able to predict Princess Diana’s demise, the 9/11 tragedy and the location of the late Iraqi leader Hussein before his capture. The latest of his so-called predictions included the massive quake that hit China several weeks ago, and now, he’s claiming that we will be the next ones to get shaken. Following the China quake and the series of low-intensity earthquakes that Luzon has experienced recently, it will come as no surprise if another shake-up happens soon since there’s already an obvious display of tectonics at work. At the said magnitude of 8.1, if true, the event will mark the end of this place as we know it. Convenient, huh?

Whether it be an educated guess or precognition, shouldn’t we always be wary of these emergencies in the first place? The forces of nature have long been ganging up on us anyway. Even as a mere dot in the Pacific Ring of Fire, we are no strangers to destructive volcanic events and quakes that can kill thousands. It actually troubles me that I can’t remember learning anything in school about earthquake preparedness. I’m probably one of those who’ll spend 10 seconds figuring out where to go and would get smashed by a broken ceiling in the process.

Come to think of it, it would be utterly convenient yet a waste of planetary energy to have my life end that way. With my closest friends only knowing me as the female personification of Detective Conan and my family branding me a kid with a thousand frustrated careers… there’s nothing to write on my tombstone.

Until that marble slab will have a description worth meticulous etching, I should learn to save my life.
