My brother’s-in-law wife’s grandmother died five days ago. Yah, i know. It’s pretty far removed from me. Nonetheless, it’s a family thing. She was 93, widowed before.
Big news here – rain. And more rain. Massive flooding here in Seoul and south of here.
- about 50 people missing from collapsed housing from water and mudslides
- 17 people electrocuted in the streets while waste deep in water
- thousands of cars parked near the Han river totaled
- hundreds of people’s houses gone under a sea of mud and water
- hundreds of basement apartments flooded
- subway stations on number 7 line near the express bus terminal under water
