As the rain continues to spread around the central region, viewers continue to send us video reports of the situation at the scene.
Let’s see the current situation by watching the video report one by one with reporter Lee Yoo-kyung of the social team.
Reporter, what kind of reports are you getting now?
◀ reporter ▶
Yes, today, heavy rain of up to 100mm per hour in the metropolitan area and the central region resulted in heavy rain damage.
First, it is a restaurant in Sinsa-dong, Gangnam-gu, Seoul.
All the electricity in the restaurant went out, and water gushed like a waterfall from the ceiling.
The restaurant staff mightn’t handle the pouring rain, so they even used umbrellas.
Rainwater drips down into the kitchen, and the ingredients prepared for making the food become useless.
=====
Next is Uijeongbu, Gyeonggi-do.
Rainwater pours down like a waterfall into the underground parking lot of the officetel where vehicles are gathered.
The drain pipe installed underground might not withstand the heavy rain and was cut off, and rainwater rushed into the parking lot.
A large amount of rainwater is pouring, and there is concern regarding damage to vehicles.
=====
A house in Dongjak-gu, Seoul.
Here, too, the drain pipe can’t withstand the pouring rain, so it swings left and right.
As rainwater flows back into the house, the utility room where the washing machine and household items are stored has turned into a sea of water.
=====
It is a road in Bupyeong-gu, Incheon where rainwater pours.
You can see the manhole cover shaking because of the overflowing rainwater.
As soon as it subsided, it began to spring up once more, spewing rain water non-stop, and the rainwater that filled the driveway filled up the sidewalks in strong waves.
=====
This time, it’s a video taken from a fire engine running on a road submerged in rain following receiving a rescue request.
You’ll see firefighters trying to evacuate a flooded car.
=====
This is a video sent from a national road near Cheongpyeong, Gyeonggi-do.
Muddy water pouring down like a waterfall from the mountains fills the road.
