A strong typhoon hit North and South Korea on Monday September 17th bringing in huge amounts of rain and powerful winds. The storm has already claimed one life and has caused the power to go out for thousands in South Korea. Typhoon Sanba hit the south early Monday before heading to North Korea, however the storm exited the peninsula and moved East into the ocean. Sanba also hit Japan before moving into the Koreas where it lost most of its strength. Both countries saw flooding, but it did little damage compared to the previous typhoons that slammed the peninsula in the weeks prior. It is not unusual for typhoons to make landfall in the Koreas where residents are more prepared for them therefore there were less fatalities.
