According to authorities, trees fell at around 12 a.m. on Friday in the Hongjae neighborhood of Seoul’s Seodaemun District, severing a high-voltage line that caused blackouts for over two-thousand homes.

Power outages caused by lightning strikes were reported in the districts of Dobong and Geumcheon.

Soil erosion was reported in Seodaemun District's Yeonhui neighborhood late Thursday after a road embankment collapsed, forcing 46 people in 20 households to evacuate.

The total evacuation tally in Seoul on Thursday and Friday came to 79 people from 38 households amid concerns of flooding, with 61 from 27 households yet to return home.

As of 7:15 a.m., the Yeoui-upstream interchange(IC) on the Olympic Expressway is closed off for both directions, while access restriction was reinstated for the Yeoui-downstream IC as of 10:25 a.m.
