태풍 '솔릭' 제주 지나 목포에 근접... 주민들 '노심초사'
More powerful than the ones you typically see in Northeast Asia, Soulik is well over 300 kilometers in radius.
Inside, wind speeds of over thirty three meters per second.
We start things off by connecting to our Choi Si-young who has been tracking the developments in Mokpo, at the southern tip of the Peninsula.
Si-young, it must be challenging just to be standing up out there.
How are things looking at this hour.
Well, Daniel.
As we speak, the eye of typhoon Soulik is slowly approaching waters off Mokpo.
As you can see, it's windy. I can feel the wind and rain getting stronger by the minute.
Local residents say they have tied their boats to the dock for the incoming typhoon.
As typhoon Soulik passes through Jeju Island, it's expected to approach the western coast of Mokpo at around 11 p.m., bringing even more torrential rain and wind.
In the morning, a typhoon advisory was issued in the area... and in some other major cities and counties in Jeollanam-do Province.
As of now, all ferries out of Mokpo port are suspended,... and flights from nearby Muan and Yeosu airports are also suspended.
Local ferry owners here in Mokpo all moved their relatively small ships to the ground... to avoid the possible loss of or damage to their propperty.
The larger boats are tied to the dock with strong ropes.
Most of shops and restaurants nearby the port closed down.
That' all I have now. Back to you, Daniel.
