Civil Disturbia | Typhoon Soulik leaves trail of damage as it hits Korea @CivilDistribution | Uploaded August 2018 | Updated October 2024, 14 hours ago.
This storm is more powerful than you typically see in Northeast Asia. It's well over 300 kilometers in radius, and inside wind speeds are clocking in at over thirty three meters per second, or around 120 kilometers an hour.
On Wednesday, two tourists on Jeju Island -- a man and a woman -- were swept away by a storm surge caused by the typhoon's winds. The man managed to swim back safely, but the woman is still unaccounted for. On the same day, according to the Jeju unit of the Korea Electric Power Corporation, the power went out in more than 15-hundred households. Traffic lights on the island also stopped working, and some sea walls have also been damaged by high waves.
