A road is damaged as waves hit a shore in Ulsan, South Korea, Tuesday, Sept. 6, 2022. The most powerful typhoon to hit South Korea in years battered its southern region Tuesday, dumping almost a meter of rain, destroying roads and felling power lines, leaving 20,000 homes without electricity as thousands of people fled to safer ground.
The damage seemed most severe in the southern city of Pohang, where one person was found dead and at least nine others were missing after the storm submerged roads and buildings, triggered landslides and flooded a shopping mall. The storm dumped more than 105 centimeters of rain in central Jeju since Sunday, where winds peaked at 155 kph . Southern and eastern mainland regions also had damage — knocked off signboards and roofing, toppled trees, traffic signs and electricity poles and submerged roads and parking lots.
Local fire officials said the flames destroyed a building housing electricity equipment and damaged a separate office building and a cokes factory before being put out.
