역대급으로 들이닥친 태풍 바비 중에도 안전하려면...<br /><br />In order to stay safe, there are several precautions that should be taken until the storm blows over.<br />Our Kim Yeon-seung has the details.<br />Typhoon Bavi is moving toward Seoul with heavy rain and wind speeds of over 100 kilometers per hour.<br />That means property and lives in its path are at risk.<br />To keep you and your family safe, it's crucial to take these safety precautions.<br />When the storm hits, stay indoors.<br />But even that isn't completely risk-free because the wind can shatter windows.<br />"Even though I taped the window two or three times, but when the wind hit so hard it smashed it all to bits."<br />That was when Typhoon Lingling hit last year.<br />So instead of taping newspaper to your windows, put empty milk cartons in the gap between the window and the frame.<br />An empty milk carton will secure the window in place and cushion the impact of the wind.<br />Also, there's the risk of gas leaks and electric shock.<br />So make sure to close your gas valves and refrain from touching electrical outlets until the storm has passed.<br />Also, if you're near the coast.<br />If you're too close to the water, a sudden wave or surge in the tide could sweep you away.<br />In mountainous areas, there's the risk of landslides.<br />Stay away from danger zones, and if your car is parked near a mountain or the sea, make sure to move it before the storm hits.<br />Once again, to ensure your safety and that of your family, make sure to follow these precautions.<br />In times like these, there's nothing such as being too careful.<br />Kim Yeon-seung, Arirang News.<br />
