Everyone be safe out there as Typhoon Prapiroon moves towards Korea:
Cars are submerged in a street at Boseong in South Jeolla Province, Sunday / Yonhap
A nationwide downpour hit Korea on Sunday and Monday as Typhoon Prapiroon approached.
One person was killed and two were injured after up to 300 millimeters of rain fell across the country. A woman, 53, originally from Thailand, died in hospital after being struck by lightning at Yeonggwang, South Jeolla Province.
Two others ― a woman, 73, at Boseong and a man, 73, at Gwangju ― were injured.
The downpour swamped more 3,700 hectares of farmland and caused some railroads to suspend operations. Many cars have been submerged, slowing traffic. Houses and rice paddies were flooded, railway services temporarily stopped and flights were delayed. [Korea Times]
