In addition to its usual earthquakes, tsunami, eruptions, storms, floods and fallout, Japan has also suffered an unusually damaging tornado, devastating the city of Tsukuba.
The tornado struck the city of Tsukuba in Ibaraki prefecture, resulting in the death of a 14-year-old boy and injuring at least 40 residents.
The tornado also damaged or destroyed some 780 buildings, along with countless vehicles, as well as leaving large parts of the prefecture without power.
The Japan Meterological Agency has recorded an average of 13 tornadoes a year in Japan over the last few decades (compared to 1,000 a year in the US), but their size and intensity is usually only a fraction of those seen in North America, and they rarely strike cities.
The event was well photographed:

Japan has really suffered at the hands of nature of late. My thoughts go to these poor folks. Stay strong!
What a rough string of events for a tiny island nation to go through. Surprisingly though, it makes me wanna live there even more.
Hang in there, Japan. I love you even when you're worn and ragged.
Tiny island nation? Japan is a major island nation in my books.
You contradict yourself. I suggest you reread what you wrote.
Some ppl think all maps are in scale of 1:1.
They believe that only USA is bigger in reality than on map.
Well said Kazaza2
Oh...my, who's that cutey you're using for an avatar?
How are these "recently?" The Earthquake happened over a year ago. Besides, the United States has over 90% of the world's Tornados so won't that warrant anything as "suffer?"
@alternative kyon You don't read/watch Japanese news, do you? Even after the big earthquake they've been having disaster after disaster. I'm assuming you're not a U.S. citizen, because the U.S. is MUCH BIGGER than Japan, so when we get Tornadoes it usually hits isolated/rural areas with not so much devastation, unlike a smaller area in Japan.
Are you 15? When you're 15, a year can seem like forever. You'll be out of high school before you know it.
But when you grow up and realize the world doesn't revolve around you, you'll see that "over a year ago" was not that long ago.
Also what the other anon said.
So, that's a tornado...
and Rice Balls :)
Yes, tornadoes drop them to destroy cars.
Rice balls? lol nice way to put it.
Why does this look like a normal city in China?
I was thinking the samething! XD
Because Japan looks like this when a tornado goes through it, but China just always looks like this.
Fake. It was Godzilla.
seeing this i inmediatly imagined;
Some one missed it's Roll on the dice.
I second this notion
not sure if trolling or losing his mind?
HIS JUST AN ATETTION WHORE TROLL
Wrong, it was a wild tornadus
So any news on what Ishihara thinks this region of Japan did wrong to deserve nature's wrath?
Ishihara is too busy playing god in simcity
Dunno maybe it was the tightly packed houses that made the tornado think it was similar to a trailer park.
Everyone knows the trailer park is a tornados wet dream come true.
they fuck too many cute little japanese schoolgirls so this is the punishment
that's wrong?
To Anon 10:18:
What!? is that a serious thinking?
I mean we all joke from time to time but that being real it's just shitty
If he's actually going to say something stupid again, he should be a priest and start preaching nonsense.
You fool, the whole Japan is corrupt.
He wants whole of Japan to rebuild from scratch.
Are you incredibly stupid, or just Ishihara?!
shitahara is a fucking retard... i wish kira would end him
he's too busy trying to ban anime and manga
CC mentioned Ishihara old bastard,...
Perhaps its because the people aren't making enough babies?
Their faith in their king has been lacking as of late, so they deserved a punishment. (They call him an emperor, but really, he's nothing more but a king.)
You really think thats why a 14yo kid died?
they thought pearl harbor was a bad idea
Seriously.. you're bringing up that again..? move on.
@Anon 09:48 07/05/2012 : I'm Vietnamese, VietNam still take damage untill now cause of Dioxin that American drop on us.
regardless, we don't hold grude against American.
Count the death, American nuclears make take more Damage to Japan than pearl harbor.
And I know some American friends, none of them hate Japan, people always treasure the present and the future not the past.
SO JUST WHO THE HELL ARE YOU THAT ALWAYS BRING THAT UP ? ARE JAPAN DO SOMETHING TO YOU ? ARE YOU EVEN LIVE THAT LONG TO KNOW THE PEARL HARBOR ? JUST SHUT UP ALREADY YOU MOTHER FUCKING BASTARD!
Bad (-0.10000)
You forgot to take your anti-dementia pills, pig?
Y U MA BRO? U FORGOT TO TAKE UR RETALIN PILLS AGAIN?
grow up kid
Just if you are American should shut up since their country is ravaged by tornadoes and hurricanes all the time ..
In countries like USA probably the weather will get worse and meanwhile do not worry about global warming and not taken into account by your government..
The way things are in JP probably they will start designing bunkers again ...
I'd like to point out that even the people who would like fight global warming in the US are cock blocked by the retarded political system and being out fought by corporations and their unlimited ad funding.
Also, last I checked the US has it's fair share of shitty weather.
It gets worse a every decade of course weather will be worse.
Omg you USA ppl are really that retard?
using Pearl herbor as trolling motiff?
you ppl nuclear bombed kids and civilians where the Japanese atacked a naval military base...
Fat dissolved their brains...
"So any news on what Ishihara thinks this region of Japan did wrong to deserve nature's wrath?"
"they thought pearl harbor was a bad idea"
Try to notice the context of the comments guys. He's not saying anything about pearl harbor, just that this is the shit that Ishihara might come out and say...
Bringing up Pearl Harbor when criticising japan should really be included in Godwin's Law. It's more or less the same deal.
YEAH LOLI HENTAI PERVERTED MASTURBATING SHITS LIKE YOU! NEED TO DIE!
Do you have mental problems?
screw you !!! hypocrites !!!
Like Your religous leaders? like christian\catholic priests, popes and presidents?
all REAL child rapists?
some kid with a fucking down syndrome just figure out how to use deh internetz
FUCK YOU, RACIST!
Anon 04:20
Aren't you the one being a douchebag by referring to people with down syndrome as a different race? Anon 00:37's comment doesn't qualify as "racism".
You, on the other hand, qualify as a retard.
