In addition, at this driving school, at least nine vehicles were confirmed to be damaged by something blown by the wind and broke the windows of the driving car and the car of the staff.
At that time, we were in training, and there were about 3 trainees and instructors at the site, but no one was injured.
A driving school employee told NHK, "The wind suddenly became stronger, and fine sand and stones were rolled up, but I was surprised to see the car make one turn to the side immediately after that."
On the afternoon of the 9rd, the atmospheric conditions in Fukushima Prefecture became extremely unstable, and the Japan Meteorological Observatory issued a tornado warning for Nakadori in Fukushima Prefecture, where Koriyama City is located, and Hamadori in the coastal area, calling for caution.

The dashcam video provided by the driving school recorded the car spinning and flying.
In the video, you can see that the dust is rolled up in a whirlpool drawn by the wind, and the training car lifts up so that it is lifted from behind, and rolls while hitting the next training car.
The flown car moved and stopped in a slippery manner, with the driver's side door down.
In about 10 seconds, even after the car overturned and stopped, it was confirmed that the dust and other debris were rolling up in a whirlpool, and the plants in the site were shaking greatly.
