Super Typhoon Brings High Winds and 3 Feet of Rain to South Korea
-----------------------------------------------------------------

In South Korea, two people were killed and 10 others remain missing
after Super Typhoon Hinnamnor crashed ashore earlier today as one of the
most powerful storms ever recorded in the Korean Peninsula. The typhoon
dumped more than three feet of water in some regions and forced a
nuclear power plant offline. At its peak, the typhoon packed winds
equivalent to a Category 5 hurricane, and experts say South Korea
narrowly avoided a much worse disaster.
