1. Extremely heavy snowfall on January 10th 2010. The recorded fall had dumped more than 10 inches of snow, including the cold blizzard, enforcing roads ands school to be closed. Myself, I was inside 3007 bus, travelling from Suwon to Seoul. The usual journey of about 50 minutes took almost about 5 hours before I finally reached office at the lunch hour.
2. Kompasu Typhoon hit Gyonnggi province early this month on Sept 02, 2010, started around 4:00AM in the morning with the wind speed between 172 to 200 km/hour. I woke up early when it started and saw its aggression against the feeble branches of the trees near my apartment. They stood the ground and so did the windows, however took three lives in South Korea and more than a dozen in northern side.
3. Heavy Rainfall today on Sept 21, 2010 started around 3:30 PM when we were travelling to Seoul National University from Suwon. Thundery shower had precipitation about 150mm/hour and lasted for more than an hour crippling subways and roads in Seoul. It was amazing to see the water drainage system being flooded and filling in roads and houses. Thankfully the bus service was good enough to reach us to SNU quarter safely.
