Today's earthquake

Tonight's news on tv reported that several school children did not attend class today because of the news that was spread around that an earthquake was predicted to hit the country today. I myself did not receive the text message warning everyone of the "earthquake" although I first heard about the rumor two days ago. Of course, I dismissed it as nonsense. I just can't believe that school children who are supposedly being taught to think rationally and scientifically--and not to mention, the adults who are their parents and prevented them from attending school-- could be so gullible.
