when the inhabitants of Tokyo were cooking their midday meals. Thousands of stoves
were overturned as soon as the earth began to shake. As a result, small fires broke out
everywhere and quickly spread. Consequently, over ninety percent of the damage was
caused by fire rather than by the collapse of the buildings. If the earthquake had occurred at
night while people were sleeping, far fewer would have died.
