One of the strongest earthquakes ever recorded in history – which struck Russia’s Far East today – appears to have been flagged only days ago on a YouTube channel.

Multiple tsunami warnings have been triggered for Japan, the US, Hawaii and South America, forcing thousands of people to abandon their homes and evacuate, or search for higher ground.

Waves as high as 13 feet have already smashed into populated areas and washed away buildings, leaving people to ask why there were no official warnings before the disaster.

Just three days before the ‘life-threatening’ 8.8 magnitude earthquake hit the Kamchatka Peninsula, Earthly – a YouTube channel ‘investigating the mysteries of earth and beyond’ – predicted it.

Broadcasting to more than 77,000 subscribers, it warned that a ‘deadly megathrust fault is ready to rupture: a pacific-wide tsunami is coming.’

Outlining the geology of the Kuril-Kamchatka Trench, in the northwestern Pacific Ocean, situated off the coasts of Kamchatka and the Kuril Islands, and recent seismic activity, the creator argued that ‘the next big one is overdue.’

How common are earthquakes in Kamchatka?

Kamchatka has seen powerful seismic activity throughout its history – and the last earthquake of comparable scale – which killed as many as 2,336 people – happened in 1952.

The 9.0-magnitude tremor also generated widespread tsunami damage and led to global advances in the detection of such disasters.

More recently, a 7.5-magnitude quake in April rattled the same region and was then followed by a series of smaller tremors in June.

A 7.4-magnitude one then hit just 10 days ago, triggering multiple tsunami threats, which were later dropped.

With the region’s history in mind, the creator stressed that, decades later, ‘signs are mounting that history may be poised to repeat itself’.

They said: ‘Scientists fear a much larger rupture could be imminent, one capable of generating oceanwide tsunamis and devastating coastal cities along Russia’s Pacific Rim.’

Users were quick to praise the video for accurately predicting the quake, with one saying: ‘The earliest earthquake warning in history made right here.’

Another comment read: ‘And three days later, we have an 8.7 earthquake with 6.7 aftershock. Nicely called.’

This also comes as some believe that Ryo Tatsuki –Japan’s answer to Baba Vanga – may have accurately called the earthquake.

But there is one problem: earthquakes cannot be predicted.

Cases of Earthly may appear accurate after it has happened, but accurately projecting when and where one will strike is a significant challenge, despite technological advancements.

Granit Xhaka says he will face the ‘biggest challenge of his career’ after joining newly-promoted Premier League club Sunderland on a three-year deal.

The former Arsenal captain ended his two-year spell with Bayer Leverkusen to join Sunderland, who were promoted from the Championship via the play-offs.

Promoted clubs have found the jump to the Premier League incredibly tough in recent years but Xhaka is determined to help Sunderland consolidate their place in the top-flight.

The Black Cats finished fourth in the Championship last season before beating Coventry City and Sheffield United in the play-offs to book their return to the Premier League.

‘I’m very proud to be here,’ he told Sunderland’s official website. ‘When I spoke to the club, I was excited and I felt the energy, and the mentality that all the people and players have.

‘It’s exactly what I wanted, and I have a very good feeling. We are back to where this club needs to be, and we want to stay here to write our own history.

‘I feel that I’m ready to help the team with my experience but with quality as well. We need to find ourselves on the pitch, but I don’t think this will be a big problem.

‘It’s been a long time to wait, but I’m here now and I’m looking forward to it.’

Xhaka added: ‘This may be the biggest challenge of my career so far. But I took it and I want to show that day-by-day and on the pitch as well.

‘I am sure this team will give everything on the pitch. From the first whistle ‘til the end. Whatever happens, we need the support of the club from the fans but we will give everything and hopefully we can achieve our goals.’
