A tornado touched down in Saroma (佐呂間町) killing nine and injuring 15. This is Japan's deadliest tornado.

While tornados in Japan are generally rare, it's even rarer for them to be deadly.

Yeah, very true.
I learned the word 'tornado' in the high school
English textbook.　I felt it's not our business
in my mind. But it was wrong. I was amazed at
roday's news.

My thoughts and prayers are with them.

I never heard any tornados had attacked Japan until this one.Typhoons, yet, but tornados? And deadly? That's totally new to me. I have a friend who lives in Sapporo. He says the weather over there is disastrous.

Tornadoes do not occur in other countries as often as they occur in the United States. In the U.S. there is on average 800 tornadoes a year, where as the U.K., which has one of the highest occurance outside of the U.S., averages around 30.

Attached is a map of locations that experience tornadoes on a semi-common occurance.

Wow. I never heard of tornados in Japan either.

I once almost experienced a tornado. I lived in Michigan, and there was a warning for tornados. Maybe it occured in some other place, but luckily it didn't hit our place.
I was only nine so it scared the crap out of me...

We can get a dozen on a good stormy day in the Midwest of the US where I am. I've seen them in person. I've seen the damage of deadly tornados many times with my own eyes. But still, I didn't think the conditions existed for severe tornados other places in the world. D:

The U.S., specifically the midwest, is in a unique position due to cooler air from the north running into warm moist tropical air from the Gulf of Mexico. Such conditions as this does not exist anywhere else on the world. However, any strong storm which develops rotating mesocyclone has the capability of forming a tornado.
