Last night, the heaviest amount of rain suddenly fell all at once in 115 years since weather observations began in Seoul.

The water in the Han River blew and the Jamsu Bridge was submerged.

It's raining even now.

We will connect with reporters who are on-site to find out more.



Reporter Ha Jeong-yeon, is it still raining quite a bit? 



<Reporter> 



I am currently attending Seoul Jamsu Bridge.



I've been here since around 3 am today (the 9th), and it rained continuously from then until just before, and now it's a little quiet.



If you look behind me, you can see that the sign is submerged because the Han River has overflowed a lot.



As of 6 a.m. today, the water level at Jamsu Bridge is 8.8 meters.



This is a figure that exceeds the pedestrian control level of 5.5m, and as of 10 o'clock last night, vehicles and pedestrians have been completely controlled.



Heavy rain warnings are currently in effect in most of the metropolitan area, including Seoul, Anseong, Gyeonggi-do, and Pyeongtaek.



In the Gangnam area of ​​Seoul, record heavy rain of around 100 mm per hour fell overnight, causing damage in various places throughout the night.

Looking at the appearance of the Han River as the day dawned, it is clear at a glance that it rained a lot last night.

Unfortunately, human casualties continue to follow. 



<Reporter>



Yes, it is.



In Dongjak-gu, Seoul, there was a record heavy rainfall of up to 141mm per hour, which is the highest level recorded in 115 years. 



As it rained so much, a ward office worker in his 60s, who was cleaning up fallen street trees in Dongjak-gu, died.



A woman in her 60s, found in a flooded house, was taken to a hospital, but eventually died. 



The fire department reported that three people died in the flooding of houses in Gwanak-gu, and four people went missing in Seocho-gu.



In Gwangju, Gyeonggi Province, two people were killed and two people were missing, authorities said.



In the southern part of Seoul, the rain clouds that poured 100 mm of rain per hour descended south during the night.



Now, heavy rain is expected in southern Gyeonggi Province, such as Pyeongtaek and Yeoju, and additional damage is expected.



As the damage from heavy rains in the metropolitan area continued to increase, the Central Disaster and Safety Countermeasures Headquarters raised the response level to Level 3, the highest level.
