We've been hearing all week about how a huge typhoon (the biggest in over a decade apparently) was supposed to rip through Seoul. Needless to say, this didn't happen. Instead of landing with a roar, it kind of landed with a whistle. We got some high winds that knocked over a few signs, and a billboard or two, but nothing too serious. It was more serious out on the coast. There were some deaths, as well as a lot of damage.
All in all, it was nothing compared to the snow storm two years ago (most snow in 100 years) or the flooding that happened last year (the waterlevel in the Han River rose so high that it was within meters of touching the bottom of the bridge). Last year the flooding got so bad that I was stuck on a bus for 45 minutes, and in that 45 minutes the water went from being at the top of the wheel wells of cars to completely covering them. That was storm!
