Sardines and then earthquake.

On March 9th, REDONDO BEACH, California: Critically low oxygen levels, at almost zero, have been measured in a southern Californian harbour after millions of dead fish were washed up in Redondo Beach's marina.　
It seems such a creepy phenomenon but fish kills actually struck King Harbour in 2003 and 2005, with the same cause just as this time.
Most likely this sardine incident has nothing to do with this historical earthquake in Japan next day, but it definitely made me rethink how inevitable natural disasters could be. It happens just like that. All my family members seem to be fine but I just don't know how to feel at this moment.

3月9日、カリフォルニア、レドンドビーチにて、何百万という夥しい量のイワシの死骸が打ち上げられた後の水中の酸素レベルはゼロに近かったという。 なんとも気味の悪い現象だろう、と思ったものの、2003年、2005年にも同じ場所で同じようなことが起こっているとのこと。
次の日に起こった日本での歴史的に大規模な地震とこのイワシ騒動とはなんの関係もなさそうだけど、自然災害について改めて考えさせられる。こうしていきなり起こるのだから。身内の無事は確認できたものの、とても複雑な気分です。
