Question of the Day: Have you ever experienced a natural disaster?
My answer: From these nine examples of natural disasters I have only ever experienced earthquakes. I lived in Japan teaching English from 2009 – 2013 and there were quite a few minor earthquakes during that time. The huge earthquake in March 2011 (magnitude 9.1) was very scary, but luckily the area where I was living was about 270km away and is a completely landlocked prefecture so there was no danger of a tsunami. There were rotating power outages for several weeks, but the Japanese government did a good job of scheduling the power outages and providing the essential information to everyone, including translating it into English for foreigners living in the affected areas. The aftershocks were also rather frightening, but I am so grateful that both my friends in Japan and I were all safe following the disaster. How about you?
Thank you for your excellent 授業. I've never experienced these natural disasters luckily. I was not affected by the 2011 Tohoku earthquake directly. I lived in a place where the seismic intensity was about 4.
But Japan in which natural disasters occurred anywhere every year, that's why I think I'm going to experience a natural disaster someday.
I took an hour to write this sentences. Writing is so hard.
