Typhoon Hinnamnor veered away from the Korean Peninsula on Tuesday morning, after slamming the country's southern regions, leaving two people dead, eight missing and thousands displaced. Pohang in North Gyeongsang Province sustained the most damage in the country. The southeastern port city saw more than 400 millimeters of heavy rain overnight. The typhoon pounded the city with wind and rain, trapping residents indoors during the critical hours. The city's Nam District recorded more than 100 millimeters of hourly precipitation. It destroyed a weir at a local river in the district, flooding nearby agricultural fields. The country's 1st Marine Division stationed in the city even dispatched two amphibious assault vehicles and three inflatable boats to flooded parts of the city for use by local emergency workers for search and rescue work.
