By Lee Hae-rin
Typhoon Hinnamnor, the most powerful tropical storm so far this year, is forecast to hit the southern coast of the Korean Peninsula next Tuesday, causing strong winds and heavy rain. In addition, it could become the strongest storm ever to hit the country, raising concerns over possible damage, the likes of which have never been witnessed here before.
Forecasts show that Hinnamnor, the 11th such storm this year, has changed its course from the strait between Korea and Japan to the Korean Peninsula, the Korea Meteorological Administration (KMA) said, Friday.
The tropical storm will land on the southern shores of South Gyeongsang Province on Tuesday morning and move up the country's east coast later that day and into the night.
