the coming storm

Various sources are saying Typhoon Hinnamnor (called "Super Typhoon Henry" in the Philippines, apparently) is the biggest storm this year, and it's crawling straight toward Korea. Since we just went through some major flooding mere weeks ago, I'm a little worried that things will be flooded yet again. My apartment building survived the last flood just fine because we're on a patch of ground that's substantially above the level of the nearby Tan Creek, but I've seen how bad the flooding can get elsewhere: Daecheong Station—right next to my building but mostly below ground—had some major leakage whereas Daechi Station did not. South Korea has preemptively canceled school down south, and the country as a whole has canceled flights and ferries in advance of the storm's arrival. 

I have to decide whether I'm going to go walking in this weather. The nice thing about storms is that you normally have the trail almost all to yourself. For an introvert like me, getting soaked is a small price to pay for that pleasure. The downside is that a lot of paths will be closed off if there is any flooding. I might or might not be taking a walk tonight. We'll see.

UPDATE: the forecast says it'll be nice and sunny by Tuesday afternoon. When the sky gets scrubbed by storm systems, the air quality just after such storms is usually amazing. In Virginia, I never had to think about air quality, but in Seoul, it's a constant concern.
