I was woken up by the wind howling down the street, the trees whipping in the wind near the breaking point, and the doors to the closet that contains my air conditioner (usually open to the outside to allow the system to properly ventilate) banging open and shut.The picture to my left is from my window late at night. The several seconds of exposure show the bent trees but don't do justice to the cacaphony of sound and violence of their movement.
Could have been worse, though.
A total of 1,333 trees, telephone poles, and signboards were felled. ... Apart from the numerous injuries, two deaths were also reported as of 2:30 p.m., Thursday. An 80-year-old woman was hit on the head in South Chungcheong Province by a roof tile and a 37-year-old man in Gyeonggi Province was struck by a massive tree, both sent flying by the wind. - Korea Herald
