Tornadoes, which typically occur in flat lands, tend to hit coastal areas in Japan, mostly in September and October, according to the weather agency.
“It seems Japan has had more tornadoes, down bursts and flurries of winds in recent years as atmospheric conditions have destabilized,” Norio Shimoyama, a weather forecaster at the Japan Weather Association, said in an interview.

A tornado strike in Fukushima could damage hundreds of tanks with contaminated water that the utility stockpiles there, [Kazuhiko Kudo, one of 12 members of the advisory panel to the Nuclear and Industrial Safety Agency, and a research professor of nuclear engineering at Kyushu University] said.
[...]
Tepco’s Matsumoto said he isn’t aware of any internal discussions about tornado impact. Tepco is more concerned about a building cover, he said.
Tepco completed installing a temporary cover at the No. 1 reactor building to prevent the diffusion of radioactive substances by the end of October. The cover is designed to withstand winds of 25 meters per second (56 miles per hour), Matsumoto said.

And, unfortunately, are those who seek to restart the reactors in Japan, and to the construction of the reactors licensed elsewhere. I've heard of nuclear followers many times, saying to the people that their work is based on the science, other opposition and is based on the not rational fear. The truth is exactly the reverse. The fear is rational, and nuclear energy is not based on science but on not rational own greed of.

Thunderstorm winds cause more damage, and are more frequent than tornadoes. In addition, property and crop damage can be more severe from thunderstorm winds than from tornadoes. Thunderstorms winds can exceeded 100 mph while the most common tornado winds are generally not this strong.
Thunderstorm winds come in many forms, sometimes from squall lines of thunderstorms and other times in the form of downburst winds. The most frequently encountered type of damaging straight-line wind in a thunderstorm is that associated with the leading edge of the rain-cooled outflow, known as the gust front. Although most thunderstorm outflow winds range from 30 to 50 mph, on occasion these winds can exceed 100 mph.
