<Anchor> We

will tell you about the typhoon coming up from the south. At this time, Typhoon No. 8 is Barbie. It's in Taiwan and in the middle of Jeju Island, and as you can see, the surrounding wind is spinning hard. The red in the middle, the stronger the typhoon, but as time goes by, the red is getting darker. It is predicted now that tomorrow (26th) will pass the western sea of ​​Jeju Island in the daytime and exit to the west of Ganghwa Island the day after tomorrow. So, let’s go straight to Jeju Island. Let's connect the field.

Reporter Ha Chang-hoon of JIBS, do you feel the typhoon right now? How is it?
<Reporter>

Yes, as you can see, in the Jeju area, the wind is getting stronger and raindrops come and go.

As the typhoon went north, heavy rain warnings were also in effect in the Jeju area today, excluding the northern and eastern regions.

Typhoon Barbie No. 8 is currently slowly heading north from the sea, about 450 km south of Seogwipo.

The central air pressure is 955 hPa, and there is a strong wind of 140 km/h in the center.

Typhoon Barbie is expected to enter the west sea after passing through the west of Jeju tomorrow afternoon. When passing through Jeju Island, it is expected to develop into a'very river' typhoon of over 160 km/h.

In particular, strong winds of up to 200 km or more are expected depending on the location.

In the Jeju area, I am very nervous.

This is because this typhoon is regarded as a typhoon similar to or larger than Volaben, which inflicted 7,400 damage in Jeju alone eight years ago.

As typhoons went north, typhoon warnings were in effect in the far seas south of Jeju Island and typhoon warnings were in effect throughout Jeju.

For this reason, more than 2,000 large and small fishing boats have fled to Hangpo-gu in Tokyo, and each farmhouse is preparing for emergency such as maintenance of houses and drainage channels.

Hallasan climbing course has also been completely controlled from today.

In particular, the Jeju Self-Governing Provincial Office of Education also recommended that elementary, middle, and high schools that opened this week be switched to one-day distance classes tomorrow, taking into consideration the safety of students.

The Jeju Self-Governing Province also operates the Disaster and Safety Countermeasure Headquarters, taking preemptive measures to ensure that typhoon damage is minimized.
