<Anchor> The
14th typhoon Chantu is currently the closest to Jeju Island.
As such, Jeju Island is currently directly affected by the typhoon, and this is a reporter from Seogwipo, Jeju.
JIBS reporter Hyo-hyung Lee, how is the current situation?
<Reporter>
I am now in Bomokpo-gu, Seogwipo-si.
The time is now when the typhoon is closest to Jeju, and the amount of rain has decreased a bit, but the wind is still blowing strongly.
Besides, now is the time of high tide when the height of the sea is the highest, so literally the size of a house is hitting the breakwater without stopping.
As time goes by, damage is being received one after another.
A fire broke out at a performance hall in Pyoseon-myeon, Seogwipo-si, around 0:30 this morning, and it was extinguished in about 1 hour and 20 minutes due to severe difficulties in extinguishing due to strong winds.
It was confirmed that no one was injured, but there was a commotion that the staff at the dormitory were evacuated.
In addition, in Seogwipo City, roads were submerged in water, and in Jeju City, street lamps fell due to rain and wind, and safety measures were taken.
In addition, more than 50 cases of damage have been received from the 13th to the present, including 18,000 square meters of flooding in the Woldongmu planting site in Seogwipo.
However, as the day dawns and serious damage is received, the amount of damage is expected to increase.
Due to the impact of the typhoon, the Hallasan Azalea Field is recording a record amount of precipitation of close to 1,200mm accumulated.
The sea road connecting Jeju is tightly closed, and more than 2,000 fishing boats are evacuated in Hangpo-gu.
Flights were also disrupted, such as flight 15 canceled yesterday, but the impact is expected to continue until today.
Jeju Island raised the emergency duty to the second stage and entered a 24-hour readiness posture, and today all kindergartens and schools in Jeju are conducting remote classes.
