Seoul: South Korea cleaned up yesterday after Typhoon Chaba lashed its southern coast with powerful winds and heavy rains that triggered flash floods and left six people dead and four missing.
The violent storm passed over the southern tip of the Korean peninsula yesterday, pummelling the port of Busan &mdash; the country&rsquo;s second-largest city where a film festival was underway &mdash; and the industrial city of Ulsan.
In Ulsan, a man drowned near his apartment and a woman was found dead at a flooded underground parking lot. More than 230,000 homes across the coastal area suffered power outages, but the Korea Electric Power Corp. said supplies had been restored by yesterday morning.
In Ulsan, home to Hyundai Motor&rsquo;s main production facilities, two car plants had to be closed down when the typhoon hit, and one remained offline Thursday due to flood damage.
&ldquo;We are trying our best to resume operations as soon as possible, but we need more time to ensure safety in the assembly lines,&rdquo; a company spokeswoman said.
