Typhoon Hits North and South Korea
 |
| Yeosu South Korea |
Typhoon Sanba caused severe damage to North and South Korea. At least one person was killed and several homes and businesses were destroyed. In South Korea, the storm caused the power to go out in over 20,000 homes and businesses. Typhoon Sanba also hit Japan; killing one man, taking the power out at 67,000 homes, and causing flooding in several areas. North and South Korea have been hit by three typhoons this year. Typhoon Bolaven caused some serious damage to homes and farmland. A food shortage from the bad weather it becoming a problem for North Korea. In June, already two thirds of the country was suffering from a food shortage.
The damage caused directly from the Typhoons is really only a small part of the problem for the Korea's. The food shortage that was already a problem in June is going to be a major problem for them now. I think it's going to be very hard for them this year if they already were having a food shortage before Typhoon Bolaven damaged there farmland.
