Typhoon Hinnamnor, one of the most powerful storms to hit the country in years, brought the second deluge South Korea has suffered in as many weeks.
A Member of South Korea's Marine Corps 1st Division looks at a civilian vehicle submerged by floodwater in the southern city of Pohang, September 6, 2022, after Typhoon Hinnamnor brought huge rainfall to many southern parts of South Korea. — One of the most powerful storms South Korea has seen in years started lashing southern parts of the country before dawn on Tuesday.
Unfortunately, some of the attempts to prepare for the incoming storm appeared to do more harm than good. Local media said the management company of an apartment complex in the southern city of Pohang alerted residents to remove their vehicles from an underground parking lot, but as some tried to do so, the garage flooded. One person was killed and six were still missing by Tuesday evening.
Often after heavy rains, North Korea opens its dams and releases deluges that can flood northern parts of South Korea. The South Korean government has often called on the North to communicate ahead of any such releases, and it reiterated that request on Monday ahead of the typhoon's landfall.
