Tornado brings death to town in Japan
2012-05-07
A deadly tornado has ripped through Japan, killing a 14-year-old boy.
The dead boy was among others who were rushed to hospitals after high winds and storms ripped through the regions of Ibaraki and Tochigi, 60 kilometres north east of Tokyo.
There was major devastation as cars were overturned and roofs went flying.
As people tried to shelter from the twister, power was shut down to around 200,000 homes.
The Japanese meteorological agency had issued a tornado warning about 20 minutes prior to the event.
A large area of eastern Japan has been battered by strong winds, hail, lightning and heavy rain over the weekend.
