THE Korean Peninsula cleaned up after one powerful typhoon yesterday and girded itself for another that could be particularly damaging to North Korea, which is still rebuilding from earlier floods.
The first storm, Typhoon Bolaven, left at least 12 people dead in South Korea, eight of them Chinese fishermen killed in wrecks off the southern coast. Damage in North Korea, hit late Tuesday and early yesterday, wasn't completely clear, though state media reported the storm knocked out power, ruined farm land and cut off power to some residents.
Typhoon Tembin, meanwhile, was expected to reach South Korea starting today, its outer bands hitting North Korea tomorrow.
Tembin is expected to weaken as it reaches North Korea. Heavy rain, however, often means catastrophe in North Korea because of poor drainage, deforestation and decrepit infrastructure.
