Following yesterday (4th), a lot of rain pours on the northern side of Gangwon-do today. Among them, Cheorwon, Gangwon-do, was the most damaged. As far as 700mm of rain has been pouring, the upper stream of the Hantan River has overflowed, and the nearby town is flooded.

Reporter Choi Kyung-sik of G1 covered.

<Reporter> The

Hantan River, turned yellowish, overflows as if it is a storm, and then overflows in an instant to swallow up roads and buildings near Jiktang Falls.

[Lee Chang-jin/Jangheung-ri, Cheorwon-gun, Gangwon-do: It was like a beach, just. It wasn't a wave that I went to enjoy, but it was a bit of a severe wave. As the mobile police stations are all floating, they bump into shops and eat glass windows... .]

Lee Gil-lee, a North Korean village where over 70 households gather, has turned into a sea of ​​water.

The road is gone and the water is full to the height of the pole.

Residents fled to the back mountain, and 119 crews abandoned the ambulance and started rescue activities by boat.

The river that hit the village of Sundam, which is more than 10 km away from the village of Igiri, was also blown up.

It was submerged near half of a four-story building.

Myeongseungji Goseokjeong and Goseok Rock were also caught in the rapids.

There are only 470 residents in Cheorwon who have been evacuated by flooding the Hantan River.

[Kim Jong-yeon / Lee Gil-ri, Cheorwon-gun, Gangwon-do: (Housing) is locked about 1m. (Farmland) It is a highland and is locked about 600 to 700 square meters. Something was locked down into the shallow area.]

Most of the villages in Cheorwon, such as Saengchang-ri, which have already become wormwood fields, are also locked.

I repeat it every day to keep it out.

In less than an hour since it started to rain, it filled my knees. This is the third time.

[Shinyong-rim/Saengchang-ri, Cheorwon-gun, Gangwon-do: Because it can't drain, it flows in reverse. That's why this phenomenon occurs every year as an annual event. We are

particularly damaged in the villages north of the civilian lines such as Yuli and Daemari, but the level of the nearby rivers is rising, so Cheolwon-gun is evacuating residents.
