A massive earthquake measuring up to 8.0 on Richter scale may hit some parts of the world between September 14 and 17. A self-proclaimed seismic researcher named Frank Hoogerbeets said: “The next critical days will be from 14 to 17 September after Earth lines up with Mercury and Venus on the 13th and with Mars and Neptune on the 14th. In the extreme case, seismic activity could go up to magnitude 8 in that time-frame.â€
