00:00Hello and welcome to a new episode of your show, Show Sayyid.
00:04Today is Wednesday, the 26th of August, 2026, and also today is the 13th of Krabi al-Awwal.
00:17A very strange and dangerous phenomenon occurred in the Americas during the past few hours.
00:23Specifically, it happened in Argentina, and it is the seawater receding.
00:31So, the seawater receded in a frightening way as this dangerous retreat of the sea happened specifically on the coast
00:42of Argentina.
00:43You're about to see it on your screen.
00:47This receding revealed the seafloor and made the ships and boats look as if they had actually settled on land
00:54in a scene that caused fear and panic.
00:58Not only in the Americas, not only in Argentina, but around the world.
01:04But the question is, why did this receding happen?
01:08First, I'll tell you the scientific reason.
01:11But before I tell you the scientific reason, we can't.
01:14Never.
01:14We can't forget that most of these countries surrounding Argentina, and we saw devastating earthquakes struck from Venezuela to Mexico
01:24to Colombia to Peru.
01:26Several devastating earthquakes hit the Americas.
01:30It could have a role in this retreat, or at least in making this retreat worse.
01:39And we always know that when devastating earthquakes strike with a magnitude above 7 or close to 7 on the
01:47Richter scale.
01:49They hit the coast or any point near the coast.
01:54The shoreline water starts to recede because a devastating earthquake always causes the seawater, shoreline water, or ocean water to
02:04recede.
02:07And then it brings tsunami waves.
02:11The water recedes at first, and then strong tsunami waves hit the area.
02:16Now, when the devastating earthquakes struck countries we talked about, from Venezuela to Mexico to Peru to Colombia, experienced a
02:26slight retreat of the water.
02:28And there were small tsunami waves, nothing major, just about one, one and a half, or two meters.
02:34We saw this, and many sources reported it, and we saw it.
02:39How did some seawater enter some cities, but it wasn't significant and wasn't actually destructive?
02:48So could the destructive earthquakes that happened have affected the coasts of Argentina, and caused the water to recede or
02:58pull back?
03:00Seawater behaving in this frightening way is possible, but the likelihood remains slim, because usually the water would recede.
03:09Or the water would remain held back in countries that are directly affected by destructive earthquakes, like Venezuela, Colombia, Mexico,
03:18and Peru.
03:19Why are we talking about this retreat of the water happening in a country that wasn't hit by the destructive
03:25earthquake, even if it was affected slightly?
03:27That would have been enough.
03:30So, this retreat of the water happens in countries that have experienced destructive earthquakes in the past weeks.
03:40So, could this be the reason?
03:44A sign of a destructive earthquake that might happen, and for Argentina, honestly, a destructive earthquake is almost expected.
03:53It's one of the few countries, I mean, all its neighbors, thank God, or most of them, maybe not all,
03:59but most of its neighbors,
04:00they were hit by destructive earthquakes, and it's the only one that hasn't been hit by a destructive earthquake yet.
04:06So, yes, this could be a prelude to a very strong or destructive earthquake, but it's a slim possibility.
04:13Why is this a slim possibility?
04:15Should we turn to science?
04:17Science tells you this phenomenon is called the extreme low tide phenomenon, and it happens as a result of a
04:26significant difference in the movement of the tides.
04:29The tide comes in, but the ebb is much stronger, the tide comes in, but the ebb is much stronger
04:36during the great ebb.
04:42It is usually accompanied by strong winds coming from the land toward the sea, especially winds that carry ocean currents
04:52or cause high temperature.
04:58Usually, these winds come from the sea toward the land, bringing humidity and high temperatures with them.
05:07In the extreme low tide phenomenon, direction of the winds is reversed.
05:11The winds are a bit strong, coming from the land toward the sea, from the land toward the sea, so
05:20their direction is toward the sea.
05:23They carry or push, let's say, the water away from the shores.
05:32This sharp retreat happens, but at the same time, it is temporary and supposed to last for a few days.
05:41And after this recession, of course, it goes.
05:47In addition, I mean Argentina, according to my observation, has experienced natural and unnatural phenomena over the past years, of
05:57course.
06:01Argentina has some ports and coastal areas that are characterized by shallow seabeds, meaning the beaches have shallow waters.
06:12There are many ports and beaches in Argentina and its coastal areas.
06:19And those in Argentina know about this.
06:22It is characterized by shallow seabeds.
06:24What does this cause?
06:26This makes any retreat.
06:29A normal retreat of the water can look unusual on the beaches because of the shallow seabed.
06:35Any retreat and the land immediately appears, the seabed immediately shows, it happens right away.
06:41The ships appear to be anchored on land.
06:44And in fact, they are anchored on land because the seabed is shallow.
06:50The seabed of these beaches and ports where the ships anchor is shallow.
06:56And it's very shallow.
06:57In any case, what could happen in the coming days?
07:00I expect, and this is most likely what will happen, that within days, and just a change, what always controls
07:10this phenomenon, especially the phenomenon of tides and the great ebb, like what happened in Argentina, is what controls it.
07:20The movement of the moon and Jupiter, meaning the moon with its gravity, has a big effect.
07:26It's the main reason for the phenomenon of tides and also Jupiter.
07:31Jupiter is also related to tides, but its effect is smaller than the moon's.
07:38But Jupiter's gravity and its current position, in addition to the moon's gravity, play a big role in causing this
07:46great low tide within what we call the tidal cycle.
07:56As soon as this thing ends, and even the direction of the wind changes, meaning instead of blowing from the
08:02land to the sea, it reverses and blows from the sea to the land.
08:07We'll see the water and the shores return, but to their natural state.
08:12But I'll tell you again, we can't ever ignore or overlook this either.
08:16This whole area has been monitored, and it has experienced many destructive earthquakes.
08:22This phenomenon might be stronger this year than in previous years, and it's expected because a destructive earthquake is anticipated
08:30in Argentina.
08:31We'll keep following up with you as things develop.
08:34I'm with you, Ahmad al-Daraa, host of the show What's Happening in Your Block.
