Nippon Steel announced that it will temporarily suspend production at one of its manufacturing bases in Kimitsu, Chiba Prefecture, in preparation for the upcoming Super Typhoon Hagibis.
Nippon Steel will stop production at its Kimitsu plant. Gusty winds from the powerful Typhoon Faksai last month knocked down a 70-meter Kimitsu Works iron processing pipe.
Typhoon Hagibis is predicted to approach mainland Japan over the weekend. Strong winds at 150 mph, Hagibis, a giant super typhoon hitting the Pacific Northwest, could hit Japan as the equivalent of Category 1 or 2 hurricanes this weekend.
