Miyazaki Nobeoka gust "Tornado" and certified meteorological observatory September 23 22:02
On the 22nd, a gust of wind that destroyed a building in Nobeoka City, Miyazaki Prefecture, the Miyazaki Regional Meteorological Observatory was recognized as a “tornado” due to the fact that the extent of damage spreads in a band shape.
According to the gust of wind that occurred in Nobeoka City, Miyazaki Prefecture, according to the city, damage was confirmed in 483 buildings so far, and 18 people were injured.
As a result of the Miyazaki Regional Meteorological Observatory following the 22nd survey,
▽ The extent of damage to buildings, etc. has spread like a band,
▽ We recognized it as a “tornado” from moving images that swirl around.
The wind strength was estimated at 50m, and it was the second “JEF1” out of the six levels on the standard called “Fujita Scale”.
From the direction of the witness testimony and the cumulonimbus, the tornado appears to have moved north.
Deputy Director Katsuhiro Tokoro, Miyazaki Regional Meteorological Observatory, “The band-like damage of the tornado was confirmed. This time it seems weak compared to the tornado that occurred in Nobeoka city in 2006, but I would like to analyze in detail in the future.” I was talking.
