The most powerful typhoon to hit South Korea in years battered its southern region Tuesday.  Typhoon Hinnamnor grazed the resort island of Jeju and made landfall near the mainland port of Busan in the morning and was moving northeast toward the sea with winds of up to 144 kilometers per hour.

It is on track to move closer to eastern China later in the week, after ferry services in eastern China and flights in Japan were suspended in previous days. The storm dumped more than 94 centimeters of rain in central Jeju since Sunday, where winds peaked at 155 kph.
