<Anchor> The

tension is increasing as the rainy season is moving south to the North Chungcheong Province. Let's connect with reporters what the situation is like now. 

Reporter Jin Ki-hoon, CJB, please tell me the news. 

<Reporter>

I am now in Musimcheon, Cheongju. 

As you can see, the rain is not coming, but in the Chungbuk area yesterday (2nd) in the afternoon, there was no rain, and there has been no additional rain until now. 

There is no additional damage. 

However, there are still rain forecasts throughout Chungbuk. 

There may be places where water bombs of up to 300mm or more are pouring mainly in the northern regions where there were 100~200mm of rain by region and heavy rain until tomorrow. 

As I said, yesterday, Chungbuk continued to survive even after heavy rains concentrated in the northern region. 

A house collapsed due to a landslide caused by heavy rain in Eomjeok-myeon, Chungju-si, and a 77-year-old grandmother in the house died.

It was reported that the fire department searched for missing persons until late at night, but no one has been found among them. 

The search for missing persons is expected to resume this morning. 

As the rain concentrated in the northern area, the Korea Water Resources Corporation announced today that it will open all six gates of the Chungju Dam at 10:00 am and release up to 3,000 tons per second. 

This is because the water level of the Chungju Dam exceeded the limit of flooding at 139m. As rain is forecast in the northern part of Chungju today, residents of the downstream region of the dam should pay special attention to the flood damage. 

Currently, such a large rain cloud is formed from Gyeonggi-do to northern Chungnam and to the west coast. 

As the rain cloud descends to the south, rain will still be sprayed on Chungbuk today, and heavy rain warnings are currently in effect in Cheongju and Goesan, and in the northern regions of Chungju and Jecheon, Danyang and Eumseong. 

As much rain is forecast as of yesterday, you should pay special attention to flood damage.
