Convenience store where traffic lights disappear "Pure darkness in the store"
In Nishishizu, Sakura City, Chiba Prefecture, the traffic lights had disappeared, and cars approaching the intersection were passing by, slowing down.
The nearby convenience store was also out of power, and the man who shopped said, "The inside of the store was pitch black and the refrigerator was off. I came to buy lunch while teleworking, but I could heat it in the microwave. I bought bread because I couldn't do it. I'm worried because I don't know the cause and it's hard to recover. "
Another man who came to shop by car said, "Since the traffic light was off, I came slowly. I will drive carefully on my way home."
