On the morning of February 21, a netizen from Lingshi, Shanxi recorded in his blog: Rumors from nowhere made dozens of counties and cities in Jinzhong, Luliang, Taiyuan, Shanxi lit up with people crowding into the streets, anxiously waiting for the "earthquake" prophecy to come true.
Currently, the websites of the Shanxi Earthquake Bureau and the Taiyuan Earthquake Bureau are still inaccessible. None of the three telephone lines of the Shanxi Earthquake Bureau can be connected.
After multiple attempts, the reporter finally managed to contact the Yangquan Earthquake Bureau of Shanxi Province. A staff member surnamed Rong confirmed the truthfulness of the blog content, revealing that various places in Shanxi have witnessed the scenario of people going out on the streets at midnight to "wait for the earthquake". At 5:30 in the morning, the Shanxi Provincial Earthquake Bureau called to request them to urgently refute the rumors.
