역대급으로 들이닥친 태풍 바비 중에도 안전하려면...
In order to stay safe, there are several precautions that should be taken until the storm blows over.
Our Kim Yeon-seung has the details.
Typhoon Bavi is moving toward Seoul with heavy rain and wind speeds of over 100 kilometers per hour.
That means property and lives in its path are at risk.
To keep you and your family safe, it's crucial to take these safety precautions.
When the storm hits, stay indoors.
But even that isn't completely risk-free because the wind can shatter windows.
"Even though I taped the window two or three times, but when the wind hit so hard it smashed it all to bits."
That was when Typhoon Lingling hit last year.
So instead of taping newspaper to your windows, put empty milk cartons in the gap between the window and the frame.
An empty milk carton will secure the window in place and cushion the impact of the wind.
Also, there's the risk of gas leaks and electric shock.
So make sure to close your gas valves and refrain from touching electrical outlets until the storm has passed.
Also, if you're near the coast.
If you're too close to the water, a sudden wave or surge in the tide could sweep you away.
In mountainous areas, there's the risk of landslides.
Stay away from danger zones, and if your car is parked near a mountain or the sea, make sure to move it before the storm hits.
Once again, to ensure your safety and that of your family, make sure to follow these precautions.
In times like these, there's nothing such as being too careful.
