Southern Island 'like Being In A Dishwasher'
Footage from the island Kikai-jima in Kagoshima Prefecture shows slashing rain and trees bending in strong winds.
The footage was taken from the second floor of a hotel facing the sea.
The man who filmed it said he went out to move his car but gave up because the rain and swirling winds made him feel like he was in a dishwasher.
He quoted a longtime resident of the island as saying he'd never experienced such fierce, powerful wind.
