Five bodies were discovered in a bus trapped by floodwaters in an underpass in a city south of the South Korean capital, Seoul, on Sunday. The country has been reeling from intense rainfall from the monsoon, which has swept across the nation in recent days, burying homes, knocking down trees, canceling flights and trains, and cutting power to tens of thousands of residents.
The storm brought heavy rain and blackouts near the southern coast, but its fast pace kept the country from experiencing the severe damage caused by floods in August.
