View Full Version : [Rumor] Tsunami Hitting Oman On Wednesday
Do not panic or run away from your homes just pray to Almighty Allah that this will not happen to us here in Oman.
A reliable source in ROP told me today that an Indian Psychic who predicted the Tsunami in Indonesia and Thailand has come specially to Oman to warn the people of a similar tsunami hitting the Qurum area this Wednesday 9th of May 2007 the Tsunami will be proceeded by heavy rain on Monday and Tuesday the 7th and 8th of May .
How true is this, God only knows, this rumor is spreading fast in Oman and I heard it from different people, believe it or not it's up to you.
amo_l_oman 05-05-07, 08:45 PM Can you tell us the name of the reliable source ?
Dark Project 05-05-07, 08:59 PM I read that too , but what are the scientist have to say about it . A man predicting Tusunami hmmmm . Where is the Omani Weather Forecast.....
NiGhTFaCe 05-05-07, 09:13 PM Got that in a forwarded email, its really spreading! :p
Dark Project 05-05-07, 09:14 PM its a bit windy ;) outside could it be ? Naaaaaaaa
Yeah heard the same thing
oh well what will happen will happen whether we stay home or go out :)
It's hard for scientists to predict earthquakes (that big or small, happen VERY often all around the world) let alone tsunamis.
Unless the tsunami has already been triggered and will get there in 4 days time.. but I doubt that :rolleyes:
Do not believe everything you receive in spam, erm.. I mean your mail inbox. :p
Oblivious 05-05-07, 09:18 PM Really? RUN!!!
Arabian Princess 05-05-07, 09:18 PM its a bit windy ;) outside could it be ? Naaaaaaaa
lool people at the office started looking at the wind in a very different way :)
I got another email saying that the metroligist say that what is spreading is not true .. there will be rain in some parts of the sultanate but not tsunami!!
Dark Project 05-05-07, 09:20 PM maybe a Wadi tsunami !
For recent seismic events go to:

There was one just last week. West of Salalah. Did anyone feel it?
TripleTee 05-05-07, 09:25 PM hmmm....good... oman needs rain...
just make sure you're on the mountains when it happens
yeah, stay away from Nandos , second cup and CCC!!!
unless you wanna have an adventure ;)
amo_l_oman 05-05-07, 09:27 PM In how muxch time will it reach khuwair
Dark Project 05-05-07, 09:29 PM well with the speed which tsunami travels .. ummm should be 4 min max
Superbia 05-05-07, 09:29 PM Nonsence. If that is true, then how come he din't pradict the Tsunami in his own country last time ?
Dark Project 05-05-07, 09:33 PM apparently he did !!!
Indian Psychic has come specially to Oman to warn the people of a similar tsunami
He should be deported & blacklisted for spreading such rumors
eL3yo0oN 05-05-07, 09:48 PM lol this proves that ppl believe everything they hear!
The msg which i got , said its gonna hit on 5th! hamdulilah nothing happened :p .
i also heard that the oracle said that Tsunami will mainly hit the police station based in qurum lol.
:cute: If that was true they "ROP" would have said something on the news:os
Normally that's what countries do "alert thier people not spread rumors:p " I don't buy this. Best thing to do is log onto one of these weather sites and check what's predicited 4 the coming days!
Listen2theOcean 05-05-07, 10:57 PM Do you think It is true the rumors I have heard from many people lately.
They said, the one who predicted about Sunami disaster ( without knowing his name ) , predicted lately, that Oman - Qurm only:-)) “strange rumors”. Will go through the same disaster after few days, some said on the 7th of may some said on the 9th of may.
Do you believe these rumors, if you don't why do you think some people spread such rumors,
What they want to gain out of it.
I thought maybe some theafes, want people get scared and move out of their houses, so they can steal them easily (God Knows)
looks like this guy checks the forecasting!
I don't believe that anyone can predict the future, some people might got the gift of feeling things, but it doesn't get to details
TripleTee 05-05-07, 11:25 PM ^^loool @ checked the forcasting.... and claimed he had predicted it eh?
well i don't believe in predicitons either... so someone should tell that guy to stop pretending.
Solidus 05-05-07, 11:36 PM Oh, so shatti al qurum will be flooded a few days from now? Excellent, I hope all the horny bastards roaming around there will die a brutal death!
I don't think it's cool to spread such rumors. sick people.
sensation 06-05-07, 12:47 AM Oh, so shatti al qurum will be flooded a few days from now? Excellent, I hope all the horny bastards roaming around there will die a brutal death!
Including you too? :think:
Thug4Life 06-05-07, 01:42 AM They even talked about it in the famous radio show (live broadcast)
indeed some people are in panic!

True, but it's not a Quran verse.
Angel_Eyes 06-05-07, 08:48 AM OMG! I heard this too just yesterday.....Allah ystir! I hope it doesnt happen....yikes!
Angel_Eyes 06-05-07, 08:49 AM where is the source of this info? where can i find it on the internet?
Desert_Sloath 06-05-07, 08:54 AM Oh, so shatti al qurum will be flooded a few days from now? Excellent, I hope all the horny bastards roaming around there will die a brutal death!
Lahhawlah ! Why such a wishful curse ? What have they got against you ?
I can not believe there are such a people who hates without justification ?!
Maasha`Allah !
Anyway, Is this Indian guys the same one who predicted end of the world in 2000 ? Or this is the guy who warned of computer crash by 2000 ? Or is this the same guy who started the rumour on Rustaq thingy ? Or the guy who posted this thread here is spreading malicious rumour ? Or and Or :p
What does Sablah rules say about sources of malicious rumours ?
Could we envite the Predictor as a guest till that date passes ? Lest something different happens and then he claims credit of not being explicit i.e, that he didn't mean water sunami but bla bla bla :boo:
What is next ?
:(
.
True, but it's not a Quran verse.

Endure Whisper 06-05-07, 12:14 PM If it's meant to be, it will happen ;) yippeee Oman will be famous!!
Come on, how can anyone consider believing this?!
UmKhalid 06-05-07, 01:02 PM Really pathetic. I overheard women saying they won't let their children leave the house.
well, i dont know whether is true or not, but i read it yesterday in Al shabiba news paper..
Inshalla khair..
LosT_SouL 06-05-07, 01:08 PM Reality sucks .. Stay away form the rumors ... Have U heard the new one ..
I'll be the next King of Spain ..
UmKhalid 06-05-07, 01:09 PM (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said:
“Whoever goes to a fortune-teller and asks him about something, his prayers will not accepted for forty days.” Narrated by Muslim (2230).
"Whoever ... or goes to a fortune-teller and believes what he says, has disbelieved in that which Allaah revealed to Muhammad (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him).” Narrated by Ahmad (9779)
And in the Holy Quran, the story of the Jinn with Solomon, when they did not know he died:
“Then when We decreed death for him [Sulaymaan (Solomon)], nothing informed them (jinn) of his death except a little worm of the earth which kept (slowly) gnawing away at his stick. So when he fell down, the jinn saw clearly that if they had known the Unseen, they would not have stayed in the humiliating torment”
[Saba’ 34:14]
What did the radio show say about it?!:think:
Dark Project 06-05-07, 02:13 PM Funny these are summer scary stories . First the Sounds from Rustaq and now this lets see next month what story is gonna come up !
Maybe this Indian Guy had too much chillie and he lost his mind !!
Solidus 06-05-07, 02:20 PM Including you too? :think:
Well I have given up on that bad habbit a long time back, it's useless to look at girls who have a sign on their head saying "look but don't touch"..
And why I hate them so much? Because when I used to do it, they used to block the roads by driving slowly, while I have to wait in line to see those useless chicks XD

So if a flood really happens, it's either that our religion is 100% wrong, OR the sayings are wrong..
Hmm...

Hmm...
It means that the a fortune-teller (3araf) claims to know the '3ayb (the unknown), and we all know that only Allah knows the unknown.
So even if what this guy said is true he is still a lier. "كذب المنجمون ولو صدقوا"
L&G
Cool Down dont Buy anything based in Rumors..........
Angel_Eyes 06-05-07, 03:39 PM We are not saying that we believe it...we are just thinking WHAT IF! Allahu a3lem (God knows) if anything like that will happen.
And why do people have to make these kind of things up (if it were not to be true)? Laish? Attention?
Angel_Eyes 06-05-07, 03:52 PM ok , let's wait till wednesday, inshAllah if nothing happens, we should find that person who started the rumor and beat him! :XD:
LosT_SouL 06-05-07, 03:57 PM A_E. The Geographic and Geological position of Oman Can tell more than what a lunatic indian Guy is saying ..
UmKhalid 06-05-07, 04:12 PM So if a flood really happens, it's either that our religion is 100% wrong, OR the sayings are wrong..
Hmm...
Why not the Psychic made it all up, and luckily, it happend? ... But of course you wouldn't want the Psychic to be 100% wrong, that would be outragous, let it be our religion, yes.
UmKhalid 06-05-07, 04:17 PM People are gullible.
I've read once on The Week of a prank spread by an astronaut on April's fool. That on that particular day, at a particular hour, for a second the Earth's gravity will stop, and people would have this sensational feeling.
That was a prank, of course.
But, they got dozens of calls from people saying they've "Felt it!".
Dark Project 06-05-07, 04:24 PM I bet these guys who called were stoned :) ( stoned as in smoking Hashish )
5alfanooh 06-05-07, 07:47 PM bullsh!t... god knows wuts gonna happen not this old man..
plus if tsunami hits.. then why just muscat? where are all the irani towns or paki towns on oman's gulf? lol why they had no such warning or predicts
Frozen Echo 06-05-07, 10:33 PM I think nothing of this.
But anything is possible.
If theres rain tomorrow the devil will smile.
Superbia 06-05-07, 10:59 PM The so called reliable source was a bunch of Omani guys whom made this up. :S
Dark Project 07-05-07, 12:47 PM Well Unstable Weather Forecast TOMORROW !!!! Check the Omani newspaper ???????
hmmmmm. I believe I posted something here if am nt mistaking!!!

If theres rain tomorrow the devil will smile.

There will be no tsunami in Oman.
And remember this guy's silly failure the next time somebody "predicts" something....
Black Lolly 07-05-07, 07:52 PM So if anytime soon, you heard that Jabal shams is going to split into two..
Just to let you know..that was me spreading rumors :p
Rossonero 07-05-07, 10:30 PM If this happens, then god is angry at us..

Wallah 9a7ee7 kalamek,
This is a pathetic rumor aimed at increasing the the revenues of telecommunication companies by fooling the ignorant.
Tsunamis can't be forcasted or even predicted. Just as HIV can't strive in Water melons.
Remember the stupid message about Israeli Mosad infecting water melons with HIV?
Rossonero 08-05-07, 01:08 PM I heard that some embassies have asked their people to exercise caution on May 9th..lol
Angel_Eyes 08-05-07, 01:34 PM I don't believe this......rumor!
Predicting a Tsunami on a "certain date" is impossible. Saying there will be a Tsunami in the future based on history of earthquakes/tsunaims in the past is not unreasonable. Odds are there will be one in the future.
Oman has has been affected by earthquakes in the region in the past. There is an article in the GulfTimes about this and an early warning system being put in place.
Just remember if you are at the beach and the water goes wayyyy out ... RUNNNNN for the high ground!
TripleTee 08-05-07, 08:30 PM a new thing i heard hours ago from a friend. she says they say the sea level retreated and the horses were afraid to go trotting on the shores...
aint that a bad sign if it is as she says?
mhm...May God Help You lol.
