So far, according to the KMA website, Yeosu has received nearly an inch of rain (2.1 cm) since midnight. The winds have begun to pick up, and it appears that we’ll receive the brunt of the storm late tonight through early tomorrow morning as Dianmu comes ashore in the southwest corner of the peninsula near Mokpo and then does a right turn to rake the coastline, heading northeast and out of the country by tomorrow afternoon or evening. The KMA is currently predicting about 5 or 6 more inches of rain for our area and winds picking up to around 35 miles per hour. Well, we’ll see. I expect the rainfall amount is about right, but I think, in my inexpert opinion, that the wind will be gusting a bit higher, perhaps to 45 mph. Not a huge, devastating storm (at least, at first glance) and certainly nothing like the monsoon rains that have hit China, Pakistan and India recently. And the flooding in eastern Europe. And the record heat and fires in Russia. And . . . what’s next? More later.
