Tokyo - Japan's crippled Fukushima nuclear plant is not fully prepared to deal with violent storms, officials admitted on Saturday, as the country braced for Typhoon Songda to hit.

The storm system was located about 30km southwest of Miyako-jima island, near Taiwan, as of 06:00 GMT, the Japan Meteorological Agency said.

The typhoon, packing gusts up to 216km/h near its centre, is moving northeast and could hit Tokyo as early as Monday, the agency said.

It is not yet clear whether it will move towards the Fukushima Daiichi plant, more than 200km northeast of the capital.

It just keeps getting worse.

4. And too cheap to meter.

That's how they sold it.

2. I guess Missouri wasn't prepared for a "typhoon" either!

I guess the horror of what Joplin faced was a bit confusing to Malaysians? Or perhaps they think since there are the Iowa State Cyclones that these sort of storms occur a lot in that part of the midwest?

3. The solution is to ban cities.

No cities, no wide spread tornado damage.
