People in the Futatsui area in Akita Prefecture experienced a severe earthquake at 1h 45 m 33s (G. M. T.) on Oct. 19th, 1955 for the first time in local history. Fortunately to say, the earthquake was only semi-destructive in its intensity, the stricken area being confined to the Futatsui town and the Hibiki village which suffered no less of life and only 4 casualties. Owing perhaps to the structural quality of the houses in the district, only 3 wooden houses were half destroyed. But curiously, the "dozo's" or warehouses sustained severer damage, 310 of them being reported as half-destroyed, while one was totally destroyed.
