Fukushima citizen “Recent earthquake is something different”

Fukushima citizens tweet that recent series of the earthquake feel different from usual ones.

福島に震災後からずっと住んでいて直感が鋭い人なら気づいてると思うんだ、急に地震の揺れ方とかが変わったよね?地下で何かが爆発してるみたいなドカンてくる地震に変わった事。

<Translation>

I think everyone has noticed it if they live in Fukushima since 311, and paid attention to earthquakes. Suddenly, the way of shaking has changed, isn’t it ? feels like something is exploding underground, like a bomb.

分かります。まるで二段ベッドの上の段で寝ていたら、下の段から蹴りあげられたように、いきなり強烈にドカンと下から突き上げられるような揺れ。寝ていても何度も下から突き上げる揺れに飛び起きました。心臓がバクバクして24時間気が休まらない。

<Translation>

I feel that too. It feels as if I was sleeping in the double bunk beds and someone knocked me up from the lower bunk. It comes up from the underground all of a sudden ,like bang. I woke up several times to be surprised at the knocking up shock. My heart beats heard, can’t be reassured for around the clock.

私は隣のI県ですが同感です。家族も周囲の人も一様に感じています。普通の地震ではなく、何かが爆発しているような短時間の揺れ。40年間感じたことのない揺れをほぼ毎日体感しています。

<Translation>

I live in Ibaraki, but my family, and people around me feel the same way too. It’s not a normal earthquake, but a short quake as if something was exploding underground. I haven’t felt that quake for 40 years. It happens everyday.

The only reason to deny the possibility of hydrovolcanic explosion underground is because the radiation level is not spiking up after the earthquake, but I doubt if the steam comes right above the epicenter.

About this site

This website updates the latest news about the Fukushima nuclear plant and also archives the past news from 2011. Because it's always updated and added live, articles, categories and the tags are not necessarily fitted in the latest format.
I am the writer of this website. About page remains in 2014. This is because my memory about 311 was clearer than now, 2023, and I think it can have a historical value. Now I'm living in Romania with 3 cats as an independent data scientist.
Actually, nothing has progressed in the plant since 2011. We still don't even know what is going on inside. They must keep cooling the crippled reactors by water, but additionally groundwater keeps flowing into the reactor buildings from the broken parts. This is why highly contaminated water is always produced more than it can circulate. Tepco is planning to officially discharge this water to the Pacific but Tritium is still remaining in it. They dilute this with seawater so that it is legally safe, but scientifically the same amount of radioactive tritium is contained. They say it is safe to discharge, but none of them have drunk it.
