South Korea Prepares for Arrival of Super Typhoon Hinnamnor

Hopefully everyone in South Korea takes this typhoon seriously, prepares, and stays in doors during its arrival. Likewise the Yoon administration has got to be fully engaged with relief efforts or the political opposition and media will “Katrina” him just months into his Presidency:

President Yoon Suk-yeol presides over a meeting on the government’s readiness against Typhoon Hinnamnor at the crisis management center of the presidential office in Seoul on Sept. 4, 2022, in this photo provided by his office. 

Typhoon Hinnamnor is forecast to reach waters off Jeju Island this week as a “super strong” typhoon, the strongest on a four-tier scale, the state weather agency said Sunday.

According to the Korea Meteorological Administration (KMA), the typhoon, the 11th this year, is expected to arrive 460 kilometers south-southwest of the southern island of Jeju around 9 a.m. Monday, with an atmospheric pressure of 920 hectopascals at its center and a maximum wind speed of 54 meters per second.

Typhoons are classified into four categories, from medium to strong, very strong and super strong.

Super strong refers to typhoons with a maximum wind speed of at least 54 meters per second.

By 9 p.m. Monday, Typhoon Hinnamnor is forecast to reach waters 180 km south-southwest of Jeju as a “very strong” typhoon before moving further north to 20 km north-northwest of the southeastern port city of Busan by 9 a.m. Tuesday, according to the KMA.

The typhoon’s strength when it reaches Busan is forecast to weaken to “strong,” with an atmospheric pressure of 950 hectopascals at its center and a maximum wind speed of 43 meters per second, making it the strongest typhoon ever to make landfall in South Korea.

the Yoon administration has got to be fully engaged with relief efforts or the political opposition and media will “Katrina” him just months into his Presidency:

GI Korea no doubt supports Yoon since he’s the greatest puppet stooge for America, that Korea has ever known. The US needs Yoon to survive the full 5-year presidential term until Trump comes to power again and reverses all of Biden’s “we will not disappoint you” policies. F*ck you America.

“F*ck you America.”

“F*ck yeah America.”

Fixed it for you.

Nonetheless, Korea is moving forward.

Do you really think there is any future in cars when the ruling elite want to ban them? Or anything else you are going on about?

No.

If Korea frets over the products of the past or denies the fact that China can produce almost as good for cheaper, Korean companies will go the way of Sony, Toshiba, etc.

If I ever need a CRT TV, Sony is who I will call.

Fortunately, Korea is looking ahead at rockets and tanks and things that have a lot of value in today’s world while you fret over EVs that can’t be charged with today’s electrical grids.

Don’t worry. Korea will figure it out. Unlike America, nobody wants to be a victim. And nobody wants to be poor.

Korea should be a global leader in AI… but… well… to speak frankly, Korean software is so terrible, I can only believe there is something fundamentally wrong with some part of Korean cognitive development.

Just last week, I had a run-in with Korean software. Despite the fact that I found identifying information for the programmer which would have allowed me to track him down and kick him in the nuts, I found it less confrontational to rewrite the function of his software in Python and just accomplish my goal.

But I am bitter.

Experiences with Korean software and websites is generally Zero Stars, Would Not Buy Again.

Get your act together, Korea.
