最近、「震度７」を超える大地震が東京を襲う（かもしれない）というニュースをよく見ます。しかし、この震度7の破壊力の程度を具体的に説明している資料はまだ見たことがありません。「固定していない家具のほとんどが移動したり倒れたりし、飛ぶこともある｡」「壁、梁（はり）、柱などの部材に、斜めや X状のひび割れ・亀裂が多くなる。１階あるいは中間階の柱が崩れ、倒れるものが多くなる。」等が気象庁の説明ですが、具体的に揺幅が何メートルで何分揺れるという具体的な記載がなく、曖昧な感じを受けます。

Recently, we often have the news saying, that a large earthquake exceeding “magnitude 7 " will (or may) hit Tokyo. However, the data or materials which explain concretely the extent of the destructive power of this magnitude 7 has never been seen yet."Most of the furnitures which are not fixed may shift, fall, and happen to fly." "The diagonal and X-shaped crack or crevices increase in components, such as walls, beams and pillars. Pillars of the first floor or a middle story collapse, many of which fall.” etc. is the explanation of the Meteorological Agency, however, their statement is not concrete without any descriptions about how many meters of amplitude or how many minutes it may shake, thus it seems us ambiguous.
