It's still pissing down rain, and if Weather.com is to be believed, it's going to be like this all week. I took the subway in to work yesterday, and Daecheong Station was flooding something horrible. Daechi Station, by contrast, wasn't having any leakage problems.
The flooding did bring home the fact that almost all of my local walks are creek-dependent. A little flooding, and boom—suddenly, I have to walk with all the damn traffic.

Amazing. I've been seeing lots of photos/videos of the flooding in Seoul, and it's crazy bad. I guess I need to shut up about getting a little wet when I walk. Be careful out there!
ReplyDeleteThe news is saying that this is the worst rain Seoul has seen in 115 years. Nine people dead so far, with seven still missing. So what has been an inconvenience for us has been disastrous for those less fortunate.
ReplyDeleteCharles,
ReplyDeleteYeah, I think I saw something about that over at ROK Drop. Maybe it's the "Parasite" scenario.
