Typhoon Lingling brushes against the Korean Peninsula with high winds that toppled trees, grounded planes and left thousands of South Korean homes without electricity.
Fishing boats are anchored in port as Typhoon Lingling approaches to Korean peninsular on Jeju Island, South Korea, Friday, Sept. 6, 2019.
The typhoon was passing seas 110 kilometers west of the central mainland city of Seosan as of 12:20 p.m. Saturday, moving north at 42 kilometers per hour with winds of up to 133 kilometers per hour, the Korea Meteorological Association said. Five cars were destroyed in the eastern city of Wonju after a tin panel blew off the roof of an apartment building and crashed into a parking lot. Fire crews in the western port city of Incheon responded to some 100 calls reporting typhoon-related damage, including destroyed walls, knocked off signboards and fallen trees.
