Monsoon Rain Continue for 6th Straight Day 집중호우 닷새째 + 서울 노량진 지하공사장 참사

Most of the country can expect a lot more rain again on this Tuesday with forecasters also warning of gusty winds as well as thunder and lightning. The rain has not let up for six days now... and the downpours and flash flooding have left four dead and six missing nationwide. Kim Ji-yeon reports. Forecasters say they expect Seoul, Gyeonggi and Gangwon provinces to be drenched by at least 30 millimeters of rain an hour on Tuesday. The Korea Meteorological Administration says strong gusty winds coupled with thunder and lightning are also in the forecast. KMA officials are warning citizens to be on the lookout for further landslides and flooding. Heavy rain slammed Gangwon Province on Monday flooding more than 2-hundred-20 homes and damaging thousands of square kilometers of farm land across the region. The Gangwon province regional weather agency says up to 200 millimeters of rain will pour down between Tuesday afternoon and Wednesday. In Seoul, seven underground construction workers were swept away by a flash flood on Monday evening... leaving one dead and six others missing. The workers were removing water pipes near the capital's Noryangjin when the incident happened. Authorities say they are working to pull the six missing workers out of the 25-meter deep underground tunnel. No word yet on whether the workers are still alive as authorities are unable to send a rescue team into the tunnel without endangering the lives of rescue workers as there is still a continuous influx of water from the swollen Han River.
