Typhoons bring strong winds and a lot of rain. The biggest ones are hundreds of kilometers wide. They can cause floods and mudslides. Tornadoes are different. They are small, but they are very dangerous. Typhoon No. 15 hit Japan on Friday and moved along the Pacific coast. When the typhoon got to Shizuoka Prefecture, a tornado started in one town and pulled off the roofs and the walls of several buildings.
