Flooding in korea

[JERRY2KONE]

WOW! We just suffered sever flooding here in Korea. Torrential rains hit this afternoon and left down town central Seoul, Korea crippled. Here on Yongsan US Army Garrison we had areas with more than three feet of standing water with cars floating away just from an hour or so of heavy rains. Here in the Hill house we had to barricade our front door with towels. Luckily we were at home when it hit our area. We have a mud room where we bailed water as it came under the front door and kept it from spreading to the rest of the house long enough until the waters receeded. We were able to keep it at the entranceway bailing about 100 gallons of water and dumping it into our toilets. Our next store neighbor was not home because he was at the airport greeting his wife as she stepped off the plane here for the very first time. By the time they arrived home there was about two inches of water throughout their entire house. While we were bailing water we could see the water rising through a floor level window up to about 3" above the bottom of our front door. No one got hurt though.
