Japan Meteorological Agency warns of possible high waves and storm surges as Tokyo scrambles to prepare for Typhoon Hagibis
TOKYO - A powerful typhoon approached Japan on Friday, threatening to batter its capital with the heaviest rain and winds in 60 years, shutting down stores, factories and subway systems and disrupting a Formula One Grand Prix and rugby’s World Cup.
“The typhoon could bring record-level rainfall and winds,” an official at the agency told a news conference, also citing the risk of floods and landslides. Tokyo Electric Power said it would have around 17,000 staff standing by to help cope with possible outages, NHK said.Officials in Chiba prefecture east of Tokyo, which was hit hard by typhoon Faxai a month ago, have told people to prepare supplies of food and water for up to three days.
The approaching super typhoon has already forced the cancellation of two matches of the rugby World Cup on Saturday, while a Sunday match between host Japan and Scotland is in doubt.
