Typhoon Chantu no. 14 passed through the southern seas of Jeju this morning (the 17th) and is currently passing through the southern seas of Jeollanam-do. We connect reporters to Gukdong Port in Yeosu, which is located in the area closest to the current typhoon.
Reporter Jeong-eun Shin, tell us about the current situation.
<Reporter>
I am now in Yeosu Gukdong Port.
If you look behind me for a moment now, large and small fishing boats are evacuating from typhoons.
Our reporters have been here since this morning and have been monitoring the typhoon situation.
It rained and stopped until morning, but now it continues to rain and suddenly a strong wind blows.
The typhoon is passing closest to Yeosu, Jeollanam-do at 12 o'clock at this time.
That's why I can feel the rain and wind are getting stronger and stronger.
In Jeollanam-do, typhoon warnings are being maintained for coastal areas such as Yeosu, Gwangyang, and Suncheon.
As Typhoon Chantu is accompanied by rain and strong winds, there will be places where it will rain 10 to 60mm or more in the Jeonnam area.
In particular, high winds of up to 30 m/s and 108 km/h were recorded at Gannyeoam in Yeosu today.
89 passenger ships on 54 routes to and from the Jeollanam-do island were also suspended.
In addition, 27,000 fishing boats were anchored to avoid the typhoon.
About 3,000 cage farms in Jeollanam-do are also well prepared for damage.
Residents of coastal and island areas should stay indoors safely in case of rain and wind, and pay attention to facility management so as not to be damaged by strong winds or flooding.
