Tsunami?

I was browsing the net and I found this article.

Is it true? I hope not! My birthday is the following day. No tsunami before my 17th please. I would want to enjoy my birthday. Why so unlucky? Just hope that the prediction aint true.



Claim: An eclipse is going to cause an earthquake, which will in turn cause a devastating Tsunami on 22July2009.


cause tectonic plates to "pop a seam," thereby resulting in a sizeable earthquake in Japan and causing a subsequent tsunami of devastating proportions. (A tsunami is a large ocean wave
caused by sudden motion on the ocean floor. It is often brought about by an earthquake, but a volcanic eruption, underwater landslide, or even a large meteor's striking the Earth could set one off.)
However, earthquakes are not caused by gravitational pull, so set your mind at ease about the possibility of an eclipse's prompting the ground to shake. Says Kate Hutton, a seismologist at the California Institute of Technology (better known as Caltech): "Earthquakes are caused by the accumulation of strain in the [Earth's] crust due to the motion of tectonic plates. Most hypocenters (the place where the quake starts, directly below the epicenter) occur at least five miles below the surface, for large quakes." Quakes, in other words, have nothing to do with gravitational pull but rather where fault lines are and movement of the tectonic plates.

Found this too,
“Hello there. I just wanted 2 let you know that please stay away from
the beaches all around in the month of July. There is a prediction that
there will be another tsunami hitting on July 22nd. It is also when there
will be sun eclipse. Predicted that it is going 2 be really bad and
countries like Malaysia (Sabah & Sarawak), Singapore, Maldives, Australia,
Mauritius, Sri Lanka, India, Indonesia, Philippines are going 2 be badly
hit. Please try and stay away from the beaches in July. Better 2 be safe than sorry.
Please pass the word around. Please also pray for all beings.”
Bless you~
