South Korea on alert as major typhoon Bolaven nears
Monday, 27 August 2012 21:26
SEOUL: South Korea was Monday bracing for major typhoon Bolaven,
with a main port and ferry routes closed, classes cancelled,
a military exercise suspended and officials put on high alert.
Typhoon Bolaven, one of the region's most powerful storms in decades,
was churning towards the peninsula after lashing Japan's Okinawa island
with heavy rain and wind, knocking out power, and injuring at least five people.
One man died on Japan's nearby island of Amami, Kagoshima prefecture,
after being swept away by a swollen river, the Kyodo news agency reported.
The typhoon, with winds of up to 173 kilometres (107 miles) per hour,
was expected to hit South Korea from late Monday to early Wednesday
before reaching North Korea, Seoul's weather service said.
A joint military exercise with the US has been suspended
until weather conditions improve, the Combined Forces Command said
in a statement, according to the Yonhap news agency.
South Korea's defence ministry earlier said personnel in the path of the typhoon
had been ordered to take shelter and move planes and ships to safer areas.
In the southern port city of Busan authorities Monday banned all ships
from entering the docks until the storm passes.
Large ships were advised to move elsewhere out of the storm's path.
The transportation ministry said 68 of the country's 87 sea ferry routes
had been cancelled. Airport authorities were checking runways and other facilities.
A state disaster relief board raised its alert to the highest level,
meaning more officials will be on watch.
Some 140 flights on Monday and Tuesday,
mostly to or from the southern resort island of Jeju, were cancelled.
President Lee Myung-Bak called for "thorough preparation" to minimise damage
and prevent casualties.
In Seoul and the western port city of Incheon, all schools were ordered closed Tuesday.
The typhoon will dump as much as 500 millimetres (20 inches) of rain
in some parts of the nation from Monday to Wednesday and bring strong winds
and high tides, the weather service said.
Storm alerts will be issued in most parts of the country by Monday night.

Country is shutdown from the sky to the sea...and land.
I watched the news on SBS TV, but your presentation
reenforces my worry - How Long will it take to recover
from the damage by this monster typoon Bolaven?
Again, the world is suffering from Natural Disaster.
America is no exception - Drought/ Hurricane/ Wild Fire.
You name it, we have here.
I beg of you God "Please, Save Our World". Amen.

어제밤에 일어난 일입니다.
오늘 한반도 서해안을 따라 가다가 북한으로 들어간답니다.
제발 세력이 약해지기를 바라는데 지금 뉴스에서도 그 세력이 약해진다는 말이 없네요.
다행한 일은 남쪽에서는 약간 해안선에서 멀리 있는데
불행한 일은 북한에서는 육지에 올라 갈 것 같다는 점입니다.
지금 방송중인 Tv화면에서는 여수에서 방송하는 기자가 서있기 힘들 정도의 바람이 부는 것이 보입니다.
여러분들이 기억할 지 모르는 "사라호 태풍"정도가 될 것 같습니다.
빨리 태풍 세력이 약해 지는 것만 기둰할 뿐입니다.
지금 여기 시간은 8월 28일 정오입니다.
