Hello, everyone. The weather cast will give you today’s weather information. Let’s take a closer look at the movement of Typhoon Kanun, which directly passes through Korea, and the risk of flooding in Shincheon-dong-ro, Daegu.
Current Situation of Typhoon Kanun
The sixth typhoon, Kanun, approached Korea directly without passing through Japan. Currently, as of 7 a.m., it has directly reached the Busan area, and in the Daegu area, rain and wind have been blowing due to the influence of the typhoon since the morning. The heavy rain that started in the morning is making it difficult to drive the car.
Risk of Flooding and Past History of Shincheon-dong Road in Daegu
Shincheon-dong-ro in Daegu was in danger of flooding under similar circumstances last year. Looking at the past history, the area around Sincheon-dong-ro was submerged last year due to the strong rainy season and typhoon. The cause was a combination of the characteristics of the surrounding terrain, the lack of sewerage, and the increase in inflow due to continuous heavy rain.
Current situation in Shincheon-dong-ro, Daegu
In Daegu, the entrance of vehicles is currently controlled in preparation for the risk of flooding. In particular, it is recommended to use another bypass for those who want to use the underground road, and congestion on the way to work is expected.
a recommendation to the residents
Please refrain from going out in consideration of changes in road conditions and the risk of flooding caused by the typhoon. If you need to go out, you’d better use public transportation. When driving, it is safe to slow down and avoid flood-risk areas, especially Sincheon Dongro.
Heavy rain and strong winds are expected in many areas due to Typhoon Kanun No. 6. Especially in Daegu, as the risk of flooding of Sincheon-dong-ro has increased, special attention should be paid to the safety of residents. Weathercasts will continue to keep you updated on the weather for your safety. I hope you have a safe day today.
Knowledge and safety rules to be aware of as Typhoon Kanun enters
Typhoons, also known as “large tornadoes,” are one of the representative weather phenomena that cause a lot of damage internationally every year. Today, we will learn about the sixth typhoon “Kanun,” which directly entered Korea, and how the typhoon is named and how to cope with water flooding.
Typhoon Kanun’s Entry Status
Typhoon Kanun entered Korea directly without going through Japan. Currently, the Busan area has been reached as of 7 a.m., and Daegu has been experiencing rain and wind from the morning due to the influence of the typhoon. In particular, it is very difficult to drive a car due to the heavy rain that began in the morning. Vehicle access is controlled in Daegu’s Cheonggu-dong-ro, and those who use the underground road must move through the bypass.
How is a typhoon named?
There are international rules for naming typhoons. The names of typhoons are listed in advance through cooperation between the Western and Northwest Pacific regions. Each country will register its suggested name on this list and will be used in order. Names once used will not be reused, but in the case of typhoons that did not cause much damage, the names may be used again after a few years.
How to deal with water flooding
When water overflows, some precautions must be observed:
Check the route: It is safest to go high. If possible, go up to the inside of the building and the high floor.
Electrical and gas shut-off: Risk of electric shock due to flooding. Turn off the electricity and gas before the water rises.
Use emergency contact network: Use contact network with family, relatives, and acquaintances to inform them of the situation and ask for help.
