Maysak Haishen storms, Busan braces for Korea's strongest storm in years

 Maysak Haishen storms, Busan braces for Korea's strongest storm in years.

Typhoon Maysak has made landfall in South Korea and could be followed by another typhoon strike from Haishen just days later. Haishen will also bring strong winds and heavy rainfall to parts of southern Japan before it reaches the Korean Peninsula.

Maysak Forecast

Maysak made landfall on the southern coast of South Korea early Thursday, local time.

Winds have gusted over 80 mph in Busan, which is near where the center of Maysak crossed the coast. Busan is South Korea's second-largest city.

Damaging winds are expected in much of the Korean Peninsula through Thursday as well as more unwanted, heavy rainfall. Parts of South Korea had a record-long-monsoon this summer, triggering disastrous flooding, according to the Korean Herald.

The additional rainfall this week is likely to cause more flooding and mudslides as far north as northeast China.

Maysak snapped trees, broken windows and flooded roads on South Korea's Jeju Island, according to the Associated Press. Winds gusted to nearly 70 mph at Jeju International Airport.

The AP reported that at least 439 domestic flights were canceled in South Korea ahead of Maysak's strike.
