Typhoon Hits Cities in Asia
Typhoon Sanba came ashore South Korea Monday, forcing the evacuation of tens of thousands of people and whipping Jeju Island with heavy rains and high winds.
Sanba, with wind speeds of up to 93 miles per hour and unleashing heavy rains, was moving northeastward at 21 miles per hour.
The Jeju Island, which was the landing spot of Typhoon Bolaven, was again the main target of Sanba's fury that included rains of more than 3 inches per hour. Already Mount Halla on the island has received about 23 inches of rain.
Dozens of residents have suffered flood damage, and more than 10,000 households were left without electricity, the National Emergency Management Agency said.
Two Typhoons Hit The Philippines
The Philippines and its residents are bracing for another powerful storm expected to dump massive amounts of rain over the same area just flooded by Typhoon Nerat.
Forecasters say the new storm, Typhoon Nalgae, will hit the main island of Luzon Saturday morning. They say Nalgae has intensified rapidly and now bears winds of more than 200 kilometers per hour.
Officials are warning residents to be take precautions and stay alert to the storm's progress.
More than 40 people were killed and 30 more remain missing when the first storm went through the region this week. The storm downed trees and caused huge waves that crashed over seawalls in Manila, flooding a hospital, several businesses and the U.S. embassy.
Heavy rains also caused widespread flooding that has yet to recede in some areas.
