Fake
6.37 a.m. the Japan Meteorological Agency issued an earthquake early
warning. An earthquake early warning is the system that tell us the
strong earthquake that will hit in a few second. The system worked
well in the strong earthquake that hit Shizuoka prefecture this month,
I heard.
We can hear or see the warning in many places. I saw it on TV this
morning. Some mobile phones can get these warnings by mail, I heard.
The system is really useful and helpful I believe. But...
This morning's warning for Tokyo and other Kanto region was incorrect.
The strong earthquake didn't hit Tokyo. But warning stopped some
trains. Then some line delayed I heard. Fortunately, it was early in
the morning then they could recover soon. But if this warning issued
during the rush hour, they might not be able to recover until noon...
Anyway, I could ease my mind because the strong earthquake didn't hit.
And I hope the Japan Meteorological Agency will warn us the correct
warning next time...
Thank you.
Good day & Peace and Smile!
