ブラック・アウト

Typhoon No. 21、Kinki、It passed through the western side of Hokkaido, causing major disasters especially in Osaka.。Immediately after that this morning 3:08point、A major earthquake with a seismic intensity of 7 occurred near Tomakomai。It was named the “Hokkaido Iburi Earthquake.”、Compared to the energy of the earthquake itself、格段に大きな災害になりつつある

Almost all of Hokkaido、295万戸が一斉に停電するという、ブラック・アウト、unprecedented event。transportation network down。It shows how vulnerable Japan's infrastructure system is to large-scale disasters.、exposed again。This effect is similar to that of the TEPCO Fukushima nuclear power plant accident.、It will probably leave its shadow behind for a long time to come.。Massive data loss、Lost opportunities must be the biggest problem.。immediate economic、Of course, the physical losses are also huge.。

But、Somehow I don't feel good in the Kanto region.。Although there is a lot of coverage、This may be because the direct number of deaths appears to be small.。台風21号による関西空港、While the Kinki Osaka news continues、Kyushu earthquake、Setouchi、北陸の風水害の復旧半ばの中で、I feel like I've become accustomed to disasters somehow.。But、北海道全体というのは、It's also on a different scale、never get used to it、It's a terrible disaster。Imagine a situation where the entire Kanto region experiences a power outage.、If it lasts for half a day、The magnitude of the economic damage to the world is immeasurable.。At worst, it will be delayed by a quarter of a century.。

If you at least look at it positively、Towards an earthquake directly hitting the capital、It's a realistic simulation、This will raise awareness on a national scale to prepare for a Nankai Trough earthquake.、Is that so?。“Eventually、It is said that it will definitely happen、Preparation for these earthquake disasters。But、On the other hand, it is repeated many times in Japan's political and administrative institutions.、Ignoring historical lessons。"Disasters always hit blind spots"。When you ignore the next lesson、Japan will end、I think that。

ボウズウニと呼んでくれ

Shimokita is also quite hot today.。It was 24° just before noon.、The maximum temperature is thought to have reached 26°.。yesterday、Suddenly from the fishing cooperative、Today (13th) there was a broadcast announcing that the ban on sea urchins would be lifted.。

The sea is rough this year、7It is said that it is only opened once a month.。Then、7The sea urchin that was sent to me on July 18th must have been from that time (7/18 "I ate sea urchin")、7/19"Sea urchin teeth")。Usually from late July to mid-August、Sea urchins enter spawning season。From the perspective of resource conservation、Harvesting sea urchins at this time of year is tantamount to suicide.。Still lifting the ban、Son coming home for Obon、This probably means that there is a lot of pressure from parents who want to give their daughters sea urchins as souvenirs.。

I happened to stop by an acquaintance's house to prepare for Obon.、I had just come back from the sea.。I received a small amount of freshly caught sea urchin (photo)。The purple sea urchin that looks black lives in shallow water.、short-spine bafun sea urchin。Locals don't call it dirty names like horse manure.、meaning shaved head、It's called a sea urchin.。The taste is stronger than purple sea urchin.、Subtle、Much more delicious though、rarely seen on the market。

This sea urchin can be harvested in abundance even by children and women who cannot dive.、There must have been considerable pressure from mothers on the fishing cooperatives to lift the ban.。With sea urchin、It is best to mix the purple sea urchin properly and eat it.。take water、The salted sea urchin is also delicious.。

浜辺を歩く

Yesterday (8/10)、I walked along the beach to my parents' house.。about 1.5km。About 30 minutes while taking photos etc.。The sandy beach in front of me (though、Before you go far from the surf, the rocky shore spreads out.) From here it continues north for about 15 km.、Japan's largest sand dune、Southern end of Sarugamori Sand Dunes in Shimokita (detailed introduction in 2012/9/1 "Sand Dune Lake")。Suddenly, from the northern end of the dunes, a sheer cliff with a height of 3 to 400 meters appears.、Continuing to Shiriyazaki, the northeastern tip of Honshu。If the weather is nice、From there, you can see Esan, Hokkaido, across the Tsugaru Strait.、You can take photos of Kandatema with it in the background.。

About 3km to the south、After all, Tomariiso is a steep cliff.。Osprey = hawk that eats fish as its staple food、known as a breeding ground for。Further south, there is a sandy beach again.、becomes a low-lying wetland、Via Lake Ogawara、Reaching Misawa and Sabishiro。Beyond Misawa is Hachinohe。The coast rises much higher south of Hachinohe.、Sanriku coast begins。

There are some waves due to the aftermath of Typhoon No. 13, but、There are people wandering around picking up kelp.。People who have free time (mostly elderly people) do this.、It seems that you can sometimes earn a higher annual income than those who work full-time.。Of course, it is not stable because it is left to nature.。I cleaned my parents' house and weeded their grave.。
