태풍 마이삭 강릉 지나 함경북도 청진으로 예상<br /><br />Tracking the forecast path of the typhoon, let's move up north along the eastcoast to the city of Gangneung in Gangwon-do Province.<br />It's another coastal city bracing for storm tonight.<br />Our Kim Do-yeon is live at the scene by the pier to tell us how they're preparing for the latest typhoon of the season.<br />Do-yeon, we understand that the typhoon has not arrived there yet, but people are still being affected by it?<br />Yes Conn-young, I'm at Jumunjin Port in the city of Gangeung, Gangwon-do Province... on the east coast of the peninsula.<br />There are around 230 fishing ships at this port, and as of 6 AM today, the Donghae Coast Guard has restricted them from going out due to Typhoon Maysak.<br />In addition, the coast guard also conducted a series of safety examinations. Anyone who refuses to evacuate ships will face fines of around 1800 U.S. dollars.<br />The city's Mayor has also called for the relevant departments to be well-prepared, saying he will hold them responsible for any damage that is preventable.<br />The port is also known for its nearby seafood market.<br />Many vendors closed today and will do so tomorrow as well due to the typhoon.<br />One shop owner voiced her concern.<br />"We're very worried. Of course for the building itself, but the biggest concern is about the electricity. If there's a thunderstorm and we have a blackout, this will affect the live fish. We will need a quick response from the electricity company."<br />Do-yeon, it seems like the city, especially at the port area where it's particularly vulnerable to the typhoon, is bracing for the worst...<br />When do we expect the city to be slammed by Typhoon Maysak?<br />Conn-young, as you can see... it's already pouring here, but the eye of Typhoon Maysak is due here in about twelve hours.<br />After that, it's expected to pass into North Korea's Hamgyongbuk-do Province before dissipating.<br />The forecast says that the city is expected to have 400 millimeters of rain as a direct result from the typhoon.<br />This is a period when the tide is at its highest, so the amount of rain and the waves can be a huge threat to people in coastal areas<br />In addition, when it does arrive here, wind speeds could reach up to 115 kilometers per hour.<br />This could be one of the worst the city has seen.<br />That's all I have for you at this hour.<br />Back to you, Conn-young<br />Our Kim Doyeon live from Gangneung on South Korea's eastcoast. Stay safe, Doyeon.<br />
