태풍 ‘마이삭’ 1명 사망, 1명 부상, 이재민 26명상, 27만 가구 정전...또 오는 태풍 '하이선'에 경계태세<br /><br />Now, moving on to a trail of destruction left by Typhoon Maysak overnight here on the Korean peninsula,<br />at least one person was reported killed and thousands were temporarily out of power as the second typhoon in a week smashed into the South Korea bringing heavy rain and lashing winds to areas still recovering from Typhoon Bavi.<br />But as our Choi Jeong-yoon reports... another typhoon is brewing south of Japan and is expected to hit the Korean coast on Monday.<br />The ninth typhoon of the season, Typhoon Maysak, has left much of the Korean Peninsula in a state of chaos.<br />The typhoon caused one fatality and injured another in the southern port city of Busan, one of the hardest-hit areas along with Jeju Island.<br />The Central Disaster and Safety Countermeasure Headquarters on Thursday said...a woman in her 60s died after being hit by fragments of glass from a shattered window.<br />A total of 26 people, who were forced to evacuate their homes in Gangwon-do Province, on Jeju Island and in other regions of the country are yet to return home.<br />Meanwhile, from eight cities and provinces, some 24-hundred were evacuated temporarily as a precaution.<br />The typhoon also caused power outages in over 270-thousand households.<br />"I prepared ice packs to keep things frozen. But I'm afraid this will end up going bad. We don't know when the power will come back on."<br />The typhoon uprooted a 230-year-old lacebark pine in Gyeonggi-do Icheon city, classified as 'Natural Monument 253'.<br />Some 860 cases of flooded roads and houses have been reported, as well as damage to street lights, cars and telephone poles.<br />Damage to farmland amounted to some 5-thousand hectares.<br />"We can't calculate the total damage. We haven't restored anything. We have to throw away everything as all the crops will rot once the sun comes out."<br />In a time where recovery is vital, another typhoon is heading towards Korea.<br />With its predicted strength and route, experts say Typhoon Haishen could bring greater damage than Maysak has.<br />Forecasts show that it will land on the southern coast of South Korea next Monday and make its way up through the peninsula... heading north.<br />If Haishen makes landfall in South Korea as anticipated, it would break the record for the most typhoons to make landfall in a single season.<br />Choi Jeong-yoon, Arirang News.<br />
