Last Sunday afternoon a highly unstable weather front originated over Kanto in eastern Japan. Over the next couple of hours it spawned all sorts of American mid-west style weather. There was a giant hail storm in Tokyo with stones the size of golfballs, while in the Tsukuba and Ibaraki areas north of the city, a number of tornadoes caused widespread damage over a large area. It would seem that with with earthquakes, tsunamis, volcanoes, typhoons, blizzards and now tornadoes, Mother Nature has it in for this country.
Meanwhile up here in Muroran we were merely shrouded in thick, grey, chilly fog, that May melancholia that cloaks much of the Pacific side of Hokkaido at this time of year.
