 Typhoon Rammasun passed a short distance west of Cheju-do, an island offshore South Korea, dropping more than 300 mm (12 in) of rainfall. High surf killed one person on the island, and officials restricted access to Hallasan mountain and all parks. Seven boats were damaged, and many roads on the island were flooded. Before Rammasun struck the South Korean mainland, airline officials canceled 167 flights. There were three deaths on the mainland, including one boy who drowned in floodwaters. Damage in the country totaled $ 9.5 million, much of it property damage; there was also damage to the rice crop. Rainfall extended into neighboring North Korea, damaging rice and maize. Later, Rammasun brought the average monthly rainfall in only two days in portions of Primorsky Krai, causing flooding along roads and riverways.
