In Yeongam County, Jeollanam-do, a road was covered with dirt water, and parked vehicles are partially submerged.
The dirt water has risen to the calves of adult males and is flowing ceaselessly into nearby underground parking lots.
The Korea Meteorological Administration issued a heavy rain warning for 13 locations in Jeollanam-do, including Boseong, Yeongam, and Mokpo, as of 5:30 AM today.
At one point in the early morning, over 50mm of rain per hour fell in Yeongam and Boseong, triggering a heavy rain warning.
The Korea Meteorological Administration predicts that strong winds, thunder, lightning, and heavy rain will continue in the Jeollanam region until the morning, with over 120mm of rain expected in the southern part of Jeollanam until tomorrow.
However, as strong rain clouds were predicted to move further south than expected, the heavy rain advisory issued for Seoul and parts of Gangwon-do at midnight was lifted at 3:00 AM.
