Heavy winds and rain lashed much of the Korean peninsula Thursday after Typhoon Maysak made landfall, as damage from a previous typhoon last week was still being repaired and a third typhoon gathered strength off the coast.
Maysak, the ninth typhoon of the season and the fourth to hit the peninsula this year, was among the strongest to strike Korea in years, and is expected to affect most of North and South Korea.
Some areas on the southern resort island of Jeju reported more than 1,000 millimeters (39 inches) of rainfall since Tuesday, and the typhoon left some 120,000 households without power across the country, according to the weather agency and interior ministry.
