Storm has passed, and snow has come, and strong earthquake, too.

   Storm passed by, and the temperature has come down. Snow is falling, and tomorrow morning, maybe, I will have to work to remove the snow. In the evening, at around 5:30 p.m., the evening programs of every TV station was suddenly interupted by an earthquake alert. The earthquake lasted, maybe, longer than five minutes, though it was not so strong. But in Tohoku, especially in Sendai and its vicinity, the intensity was 5 minus on the Japanese scale, and the alert referred to tsunami. Even here in Tomakomai, we felt the earth quake and the intensity was 3. About half an hour after the earthquake, one-meter high tsunami hit a harbor in Tohoku. But fortunately much damage has not been done so far.
