20 years has passed since Great Hanshin earthquake hit the kobe region.

At first I felt uncomfortable with this “Great” word,
Because in Japan, great is only used for good thing.
When I heard this term in NHK world, I was going to protest to NHK.

Later, I found out that other big earthquake has same “Great” prefix,
English “Great” has more meanings than what I think.
Great also means “intense” or “very strong”.
