Pouring Cats & Dogs...

I am writing to request your prayers for the people of Seoul! It has been raining quite heavily for several days. I know it's rainy season, but it has been quite a downpour.

This is Seoul... about two hours away. Everyone here in Eumseong is fine, we have a few puddles and some crazy weather as we walk the 10 minutes to and from our housing to class. :)

This is from the BBC:

Ten die in South Korean flooding

Seoul's main road is flooded

At least 10 people have died and another 17 are missing after heavy rains hit South Korea, the emergency services say. There were flash floods and landslides as monsoon rains inundated the eastern province of Gangwon.
More than 2,000 people are reported to have fled their homes and are in emergency shelters.
The severe weather is forecast to continue over the next few days with the capital, Seoul, also affected.
The 10 confirmed victims were killed by mudslides in Inje, 165km (102 miles) east of Seoul, and Pyeongchang, 180km (112 miles) east of the capital, the emergencies agency was quoted as saying by the Associated Press.
There were no immediate reports of possible flood damage in North Korea, South Korea's neighbour.











We ask for your prayers for our neighbors as they deal with this flooding. It's crazy for me to think that I was flying down that highway less than a week ago on our way to pick up our girls from the airport.
Hope you all are doing well! I would love to hear from you about your own crazy summer adventures...
