South Korea is about to get hit by a third
tropical storm in just two weeks.
Typhoon Haishen is on its way north from Okinawa,
Japan right now towards South Korea's east
coast.
Arirang's Jang Tae-hyun is at the Pohang passenger
ship terminal in Gyeongsangbuk-do Province.
Tae-hyun, how's it looking down there?
Devin, it's windy and cloudy,... but it's
not raining much yet.
The Pohang passenger terminal is where boats
leave for Ulleung Island, but they've all
been cancelled because of Typhoon Haishen.
The storm was expected to pass right through
the middle of South Korea, but now it's forecast
to arrive at the east coast of the Gyeongsang-do
Provinces on Monday.
The Korean weather agency says the typhoon
is likely to arrive in waters some 80 kilometer
east of Busan at around 9 AM,... then pass
through the East Sea, moving North.
Busan is expecting 100 to 300 millimeters
of rain and a wind speed up to about 145 kilometers
an hour.
That's strong enough to send rocks flying
and flip over cars.
As of 9 AM on Sunday, the country has raised
the landslide alert to its highest level in
several regions like Jeju Island, Busan, Ulsan
and Jeollanam-do Province.
I'll be staying here for the night and will
be back for Monday's weather forecasts.
Back to you, Devin.
