<Anchor> A

lot of rain is falling as heavy rains are issued all over Gangwon-do. In particular, in northern areas of Yeongseo, Gangwon, including Cheorwon, heavy rains of up to 80mm per hour are pouring, causing damage. Let's connect the reporters on the Chuncheon Dam to find out the situation.

Reporter G1 Choi, Kyung-sik, is the rain still heavy?

<Reporter>

Yes, in front of Chuncheon Dam.

As you can see, the Chuncheon Dam opens 10 water gates to drain the water, but the water is so strong that my voice is hard to hear.

Most of the Bukhan River water system dams opened like this and began to adjust the water level.

The most rainy place to date is Cheorwon.

Dongsong-eup recorded a cumulative precipitation of 271mm from yesterday to the present.

At dawn, I even shot 84mm per hour.

A few minutes ago, the central Sangji and Pyeongchang were added to increase the number of heavy rain warning areas in Gangwon-do to 14.

The water bombs spilled overnight, and the damage was serious.

There was a possibility of flooding the rivers around the Wasucheon and Sagokcheon areas in Cheorwon, and an evacuation order was issued.

Yesterday (2nd), the 20s swept away by the swollen valleys were also killed.

The trains on the Taebaek Line and Yeongdong Line have been suspended, and there is a lot of earth and sand pouring into Route 56.

Rain damage, such as loss of retaining walls, spills of soil, backflow of rain, and flooding, is still being received, but it is difficult to deal with in time due to the heavy rain.

In particular, landslide warnings have been issued in various parts of the city, and local governments are nervous.

Gangwon-do upgraded its Disaster Response Headquarters to three emergency levels.

Evacuate residents and tourists to valleys, campsites, and landslide-affected areas.

The Korea Meteorological Administration predicted that more than 300mm of rain will rain today, mainly in the Yeongseo area.
