태풍 '솔릭' 제주 지나 목포에 근접... 주민들 '노심초사'<br /><br /> Typhoon Soulik is more powerful than the ones you typically see in Northeast Asia.<br />It's well over 300 kilometers in radius.<br />Inside wind speeds exceeding thirty three meters per second.<br />We start things off by connecting to our Choi Si-young who has been tracking the developments in Mokpo, at the southern tip of the Peninsula.<br />Si-young, we've seen you battling pretty strong winds and rain to keep us up to date on the situation since earlier today.<br />But how are things looking at this hour.<br /><br /> That's right, Daniel. <br />As we speak, the eye of typhoon Soulik is still in waters off the southern coast of Korea.<br />As you can see, it's windy. I can feel the wind and rain getting stronger by the minute.<br />Local residents say they have tied their boats to the dock for the incoming typhoon.<br /><br /> As typhoon Soulik passes through Jeju Island, it's expected to approach the mainland near Mokpo at around 7 p.m., bringing even more torrential rain and wind.<br />In the morning, a typhoon advisory was issued in the area... and in some other major cities and counties in Jeollanam-do Province. <br /> As of now, all ferries out of Mokpo port are suspended,... and flights from nearby Muan and Yeosu airports are also suspended. <br /><br /> Local ferry owners here in Mokpo all moved their relatively small ships to the ground... to avoid the possible loss of or damage to their propperty.<br />The larger boats are tied to the dock with strong ropes.<br />Most of shops and restaurants nearby the port closed down.<br /><br />I will keep you updated throughout the evening. Back to you, Daniel. <br />
