大地震が起こった。

午後、2時40分頃、

少し揺れているなあと思ったら、

だんだんと勢いが増し、

しまいには、食器が落ちて割れた。

かなり怖かった。

観測史上最大の地震らしい。

東北のほうでは大きな被害が起きている。


教会が心配になって、

自転車で駆けつけたら、

先生方も建物も無事で安堵。


夜は電車が止まって、

帰れなくなった父親が新宿から2時間歩いて僕の所に泊まりにきた。


被害が最小限になるよう

お祈りします。


A big earth quake hit Japan.

At around 2:40,

I realised it began to shake a little,

then the shake gradually got stronger and stronger,

the dishes fell on the floor and crashed.

It was really scary.

It seems it is the biggest earthquake since

they started recording more than 150 years ago.

The northern part of Japan was the most badly hit.


I was worried about my family,

but couldn't use the mobile.

I was also worried about the church,

so I cycled to check its condition.

I was glad to find the people and the building

in one piece.


My dad came to my room in the evening.

Since all the trains were on halt,

he had to walk from his office in Shinjuku for two hours.


I do pray that there will be minimum casualities.
