祈る

飲み食い麻雀の最中にスマホの警報が鳴った。

元旦の能登沖地震には驚いた。

 

今朝になって、津波の心配は薄れたのものの、被害の実態が改めてテレビ画面に映し出されている。

家屋倒壊や火災の被害は、まだこれから明らかになって来るんだろう。

どうか、被害が最小限で収まりますように。

現地の方々がどんな思いでいるかと思うと胸が痛い。

どうか、どうか、暖かい場所で、お腹を空かせていないことを祈る。

 

 

In the middle of eating, drinking and mahjong, our smartphones alarm went off.

We were surprised by the Noto-oki earthquake on New Year's Day.

 

As of this morning, worries about the tsunami have subsided, but the reality of the damage is once again being shown on TV screens.

The damage caused by collapsed houses and fires will likely become clearer in the future.

I hope the damage is kept to a minimum.

My heart hurts when I think about how the local people are feeling.

Please, please, stay somewhere warm and I hope they're not hungry.
