Jakarta - Local officials in a quake-prone Indonesian province said on Monday they were taking precautionary measures after a Brazilian psychic warned a powerful earthquake would strike next month.

Husni Hassanuddin, a spokesperson for Bengkulu province on Sumatra island, said the Indonesian embassy in Brasilia had passed on a letter from a "professor" and psychic predicting a quake would rock the island on December 23.

He said there would be several evacuation drills around the province prior to December 23.

Another Bengkulu official said that he had seen a copy of the letter from Jucelino Nobrega da Luz, which predicted an 8,5-magnitude quake on Sumatra, but did not give an exact location. Sumatra is home to nine other provinces.

Nobrega da Luz had sent a letter in 1998 predicting the tsunami that devastated Indonesia in 2004. He also issued a warning in 2006 forecasting September's 8,4-magnitude quake in Bengkulu, which left 23 people dead.

Rumor or not, if the precaution is being taken to save people, then it's the right thing to do...

Hopefully it will pass as a regular day and nothing happens.

Wow, if I was their I leave, or at least get in a helicopter and fly around until the quake happened.

Since this phsycic was right about the two warnings he sent , i think i would be listening to this warning too!
