Tweet of the Week #50: Typhoon Hagibis Causes Panic Buying of Tape Advice to tape your windows has resulted in a shortage. But does it even work? Learn how to give advice with this week's viral tweet! By Amelie Marie Nishizawa Oct 12, 2019

 Tape a Big "X" on Your Windows to Reduce Damage from Hurricane Winds
Hurricane preparedness brochures promoted window taping into the 1980s before experts realized that this technique might just do more harm than good. The idea was that tape could help brace windows against the effects of winds, or at the very least prevent them from shattering into a million tiny pieces. In reality, taping does nothing to strengthen windows. And sure, it might prevent tiny shards of flying glass, but it could also produce the one thing that is worse: giant shards of flying glass held together with tape!
貼れば、細かい破片は飛んでこないかもしれないが、でかいガラス片が飛んでくるだけだろう、と。

  テレビで養生テープで云々と言ってたので、店に何度も足を運んだ。
「明日入ります」と言われ、次の日行くと「まだ、入っていません、いつくるかわかりません」
 数時間後行くと、「完売」ーがっかりして、今度の災害のために、アマゾンで買っておこうかなああ、と思っていたところだが・・・買うのやめようかな。
