tornado warning .japan

 A tornado warning was issued for parts of Japan on July 4, 2023, as a powerful storm hit the eastern Pacific coastal region. The warning was in effect for the Chiba, Ibaraki, and Tochigi prefectures, and the Tokyo metropolitan area. The storm brought strong winds, heavy rain, and the possibility of tornadoes.

The Japan Meteorological Agency (JMA) issued the warning at 10:10 a.m. local time. The JMA said that the storm was expected to produce winds of up to 100 kilometers per hour (62 miles per hour) and gusts of up to 150 kilometers per hour (93 miles per hour). The agency also said that the storm could produce tornadoes, which are rare in Japan.

The warning was lifted at 11:30 a.m. local time. However, the JMA said that the storm was still producing strong winds and heavy rain, and that there was still a possibility of tornadoes.

If you are in Japan and you hear a tornado warning, take shelter immediately. Go to the lowest level of your building, preferably in a basement or interior room. Stay away from windows and doors.

Here are some safety tips for staying safe during a tornado:

  • Stay indoors and away from windows.
  • If you are in a vehicle, pull over to the side of the road and get out of the car. Lay down in a ditch or other low-lying area.
  • If you are outside, find a sturdy building to take shelter in. If you cannot find a building, lie down in a ditch or other low-lying area.
  • Cover your head with your hands.
  • Do not try to outrun a tornado.

If you see a tornado, do not take pictures or videos. Instead, get to safety immediately.
