Torrential rains that slammed South Korea's capital, Seoul, left at least nine people dead and about 2,800 homes and buildings damaged, as it diminished on Wednesday (August 10), Reuters reports.
Heavy downpours on Monday (August 8) and Tuesday (August 9) submerged streets and buildings, trapping people in flooded apartments and stranding cars.
Flooding in some buildings around the glitzy Gangnam district continued on Tuesday, while subway stations and several roads there were blocked.
More rain was expected for Wednesday, but the Korea Meteorological Administration (KMA) predicted that the rainfall would gradually subside.
