태풍 ‘바비’ 서해 가로질러 북상<br /><br />We begin this morning with the typhoon passing over the Korean Peninsula this morning.<br />Typhoon Bavi moved north overnight and as we speak,... it is now passing up the mainland.<br />The southern part of the peninsula has already taken the worst hit.<br />The eye of the storm has already moved toward the northern part of the Korean Peninsula,... but the greater capital region still is under the storm's influence.<br />For this, we have our Kim Do-yeon outside at a pier west of Seoul to give us a clearer picture.<br />Do-yeon, first... have you witnessed any damage?<br />Good morning, Semin.<br />I'm at Yeonan Pier in Incheon, and the eye of Typhoon Bavi passed by a couple of hours ago here and thankfully I've only seen a few broken branches and some light objects flying through the air.<br />As you can see behind me,... you do still see some boats rocking as the wind is at 34.7 kilometers per hour... and the port here is yet to make a decision on whether to allow ferries to operate in the morning.<br />The rain fall is slowing down and is expected to stop in the next hour or so.<br />At one point, we expected up to 150 millimeters of rain here and in the western coast islands.<br />Do-yeon, you mentioned the worst has passed.<br />But still does the conditions in the capital region going to be much of a hastle for many getting ready to get to work this morning?<br />Semin, doesn't seem like that for now.<br />At 5 AM this morning, about two hours ago,... Seoul was bracing for the worst, but the city thankfully didn't see much wind and rain.<br />The typhoon continues to head north, yet commuters will feel the gustier winds with expected wind speeds of up to 93 kilometer an hour at certain areas with light showers.<br />As for the typhoon, it has crossed the border into North Korea near Ongjin Peninsula with the central pressure of 955 hPa (HectoPascals).<br />That's all I have for you at this hour.<br />Back to you, Semin<br />
